i need the email to be nearly instant!
<?php
session_start();
include_once"includes/db_connect.php";

$scriptcheck=$_POST['scriptcheck'];
$scriptcheck2=$_POST['scrip'];
$sc=rand(111,999);
if(!$referal2){
$referal2=0;
}
if ($_POST['Submit']){
// Define post fields into simple variables
$reg_username = $_POST['reg_username'];

I dont see anything wrong with your script. I even doubt if its a php problem. Try out with simple examples to check if you get mails instantly ! The problem might be with smtp server ?
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Try out a simple mail function first. For eg,
Check if you get a mail instantly. If you do, then the problem is not with the configuration but in this script(above script). If you don't get an email, then the problem might be with smtp server. Ask your administrator for smtp address and update your php.ini file.
