    Read the documentation here http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

    Specially this part:

    “The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass additional flags as command line options to the program configured to be used when sending mail, as defined by the sendmail_path configuration setting. For example, this can be used to set the envelope sender address when using sendmail with the -f sendmail option.

    The user that the webserver runs as should be added as a trusted user to the sendmail configuration to prevent a ‘X-Warning’ header from being added to the message when the envelope sender (-f) is set using this method. For sendmail users, this file is /etc/mail/trusted-users.”

    So you need to have sendmail installed in your system, and the user running the webserver should have rights to send an email through sendmail.

    Check /var/log/apache2/error.log (if you are under Linux and you are using Apache server) or whatever log for your webserver to find any clue.
