Question

I'm having contact form in my website, when user filled the form it should send the form with user content to my mail. I have tried this it show blank page.

Here is my form:

<form id="contact_form" action="mail.php" method="post" class="form-horizontal">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-md-3 control-label">Name:</label>
        <div class="col-md-5">
            <input type="email" class="form-control" name="name" />
        </div>
     </div>
     <div class="form-group">
         <label class="col-md-3 control-label">E-mail:</label>
         <div class="col-md-5">
             <input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" />
         </div>
     </div>
     <div class="form-group">
         <label class="col-md-3 control-label">Mobile Number:</label>
         <div class="col-md-5">
             <input type="email" class="form-control" name="mob" />
         </div>
     </div>
     <div class="form-group">
         <label class="col-md-3 control-label">Requirement</label>
         <div class="col-md-5">
             <textarea class="form-control" name="mess" cols="30" rows="10" placeholder="Your Message"></textarea>
         </div>
     </div>
     <div class="form-group">
         <div class="col-md-5 col-md-offset-3">
             <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">GET A QUOTE</button>
          </div>
    </div>
</form>

And PHP mailer: I have tried this, when executed it shown blank

<?php 
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $mob = $_POST['mob'];
    $mess = $_POST['mess'];
    $subject = 'Message from website';
    $to = 'mailus@pebibytetech.in';
    $headers="From: {$email}\r\nReply-To: {$email}";
    mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
    $success = "Thank you! You're email has been sent.";
}
?>

PHPSimpleMail

Simple PHP Mailer is Better then inbuilt PHP Function. look at this link for more info.

Also you need to use input type according to your need. like if you want to get Email then use

For Email: <input type="email" name="email">
For Phone: <input type="tel" name="phonenumber">
For name: <input type="text" name="FirstName">

Don't use email type in all input fields.

You are not displaying anything while the mail() is success.

   if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers))
         echo $success = "Thank you! You're email has been sent.";
    else
         echo "Failed!!";

Also you have not defined $message. Change $mess to $message.

        if(empty($name)||empty($email)||empty($mob))

            ?>
            <script>
                alert('Name, Email, Mobile is empty');
            </script>
        <?php
        }
        else
        {
            // Method 01 (Normal method)
            $to = 'mailus@pebibytetech.in';
            $subject = 'Message from website';

            $message .= '<br>Customer Message :'.$mess;

            $mail = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
            if(isset($mail))
            {
                ?>
