<?php
 
if(isset($_POST['g-recaptcha-response']) && !empty($_POST['g-recaptcha-response']))
if(empty($_POST[‘g-recaptcha-response’])){
$errMsg = 'Please check the robot checkbox.';
} else if(isset($_POST[‘g-recaptcha-response’]) && !empty($_POST[‘g-recaptcha-response’]))
  {
        $secret = 'secret code';
        $verifyResponse = file_get_contents('https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret='.$secret.'&response='.$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']);
        $responseData = json_decode($verifyResponse);
        if($responseData->success)
        {
            $succMsg = 'Your contact request have submitted successfully.';
        }
        else
        {
            $errMsg = 'Robot verification failed, please try again.';
        }
   }
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
 
    // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED

not sure where the mistake or error in code is 

[requinix]

Remove the @s. That hides errors. If there are errors you need to know about them.

Was the email marked as spam/junk?

[bizstorm]

No. It is not sending the copy to sender 

[requinix]

Did you remove the @s? Next step is to modify your code so that you can know whether each mail() was successful: by checking the return value. If either call returns false then the mail will not get sent.

[bizstorm]

i did remove th @s . mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); is working as the sent mail is received.

 

mail($email_from, $email_subject2, $email_message, $headers2); this code is not executed. - 

[requinix]

Did you do the other part of what I said in my post?

[bizstorm]

neither has failed as it proceed to thank you page, however on 

mail($email_from, $email_subject2, $email_message, $headers2);

no mails received

Did you check your maillog for errors? I suggest you use PHPMailer as it is much easier, gives you better control and is also easier to debug.
