/* PHP form validation: the script checks that the Email field contains a valid email address and the Subject field isn't empty. preg_match performs a regular expression match. It's a very powerful PHP function to validate form fields and other strings - see PHP manual for details. */

Re: problem in sending mail through mail function in php
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Note: When sending mail, the mail must contain a From header. This can be set with the additional_headers parameter, or a default can be set in php.ini.
Failing to do this will result in an error message similar to Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing. The From header sets also Return-Path under Windows.

Re: problem in sending mail through mail function in php
You haven't properly configured your SMTP settings inside of the php.ini configuration file. Do you have an SMTP server?
Also...Please use [code] or [php] tags. BB code

This means it does work but is not allowed, because the server does not allow that gmail address as sender.
Try using a valid email adres with the domain of the website.
