                <?php}
                else if(filter_var($_POST['email'] , FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL === false)){ ?>

                    <div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissable"><button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-hidden="true">×</button>Something went wrong ! .</div>
                <?php}
                else{

                }
                if(!$send_mail){?>
                    <div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissable"><button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-hidden="true">×</button>Something went wrong ! .</div>
                <?php }
                else{
                    echo '<div class="alert alert-success">Email successfully sent. Thank you for your message.</div>';
                }
            }?>

But i can not send mail . I have been working with my own personal website . In my contact page I can not send mail with this code . After clicking the submit button it shows a blank page .

A blank page could be caused by the fact that an error is thrown, but error reporting is off. — lxg, Sep 12 '14 at 09:18
have you [error_reporting](http://de2.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php) enabled? — AbcAeffchen, Sep 12 '14 at 09:18
You can not send e-mails locally without something like [PHPMailer.](https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer) — Albzi, Sep 12 '14 at 09:24

php mail() function behave unexpected in sometime.

In my experience -- and others' -- the mail() function is not particularly predictable, or >helpful.

Quite notably, the mail() function behaves entirely differently between Linux and Windows >servers. On linux it uses sendmail, but on Windows it uses SMTP.

In order for the mail() function to even work at all php.ini needs to be configured >correctly, specifying the location of sendmail or of an SMTP server.

The problem with mail() is that it "tries" to simplify things to the point that it actually >makes things more complex due to poor interface design. The developers of Swift Mailer have >gone to a lot of effort to make the Mail Transport work with a reasonable degree of >consistency.

i suggest you that use SwiftMailer library For Send Mail, That Is Very Strong.
