    </div>

@HankyPanky Im receiving the email but not the text from form. — Aneeque Ahmed, Apr 01 '16 at 06:58
Then you're probably not POSTing it correctly. Can we see your HTML? — Hanky Panky, Apr 01 '16 at 06:59
@LorenzoBelfanti ok i have edited the post, i have added html code. — Aneeque Ahmed, Apr 01 '16 at 07:11
@AneequeAhmed, there might be issue with your mail server. Try it using SMTP, or check mail settings in `php.ini` file — Nehal, Apr 01 '16 at 07:32
@Ms.Nehal SMTP is also not allowed. Where can i find php.ini file ? — Aneeque Ahmed, Apr 01 '16 at 07:38
@AneequeAhmed, on the root of your server, if not then ask your host provider for this — Nehal, Apr 01 '16 at 07:40

You scripts is fine, but you send mail twice. Before send check if the POST have some message to send. Change like this:

$newsletter_email = $_POST['newsletter_email'];
if($newsletter_email != ""){
    $to = "gb@gyde.asia";
    $subject = "Subscription for Newsletter";
    $headers = "From: $to";
    if(mail ($to, $subject, " E-mail: " . $newsletter_email, $headers ))
    { 
         echo "Mail did its job..."; 
    } 
    else 
    { 
         echo "Oops, something went South!"; 
    }
}

N.B. Check your Spam Box as said Hanky Panky

@AneequeAhmed - I'm looking at the **HTML** where did that `$email_newsletter` but it seems to me entirely correct – Lorenzo Belfanti Apr 01 '16 at 07:10
Im using namecheap hosting, and their mail function is different. – Aneeque Ahmed Apr 01 '16 at 07:17

Some time Mail function does not support your server. so mail can't reach.

There is a solutions please use SMTP mail.

<?php
    ini_set("SMTP", "aspmx.l.google.com");
    ini_set("sendmail_from", "YOURMAIL@gmail.com");

    $message = "The mail message was sent with the following mail setting:\r\nSMTP = aspmx.l.google.com\r\nsmtp_port = 25\r\nsendmail_from = YourMail@address.com";

    $headers = "From: YOURMAIL@gmail.com";


    mail("Sending@provider.com", "Testing", $message, $headers);
    echo "Check your email now....<BR/>";
?>
