register.php

      E-mail: <input type='text' name='email'>
      <input type='submit' value='Register'>
      </form>";
?>

A confirmation mail has been sent to your e-mail address. Please click the link which is provided.

If you are sure your mail() is working, then there's some possibilities you didn't get the mail

1. It might take times to receive

2. Your mail server not working

3. Might be flap as spam
