echo "Thank You <b>$_POST[name]</b> for ur message";
echo "<p>Your mail address is <p>$_POST[email] </p>";
echo "<p>Your message was <p> $_POST[msg] </p>";
//building the message.
"$msg="Name: $_POST[name]\n";
$msg.="E-mail $_POST[email]\n";
$msg.="Message $_POST[msg]\n";
//set up mail
$subject="Tanvir's Form Submission Results";

    25 port is usual port for sending mail via SMTP protocol. you shouldn't change it. what you need to change is an address of mailserver, write in php.ini address of your SMTP server instead 'localhost'

    You have it set to localhost, but it needs to be set to whatever IP your ISP's SMTP server is in php.ini.

    Your ISP may block outgoing smtp... if so, find a mail server you can login to that will allow you to send mail, smtp.gmail.com would work if you have a gmail account
