Again, what is the error you are getting ?

hi,
the code seems to work as i dont get any errors but i do not get any emails after running the code

Umm..sometimes mails sent by php is considered as spam(because of the unknown domain). If that isn't the problem, check your smtp and smtp_port in php.ini.
