mailSender isn't standard php function. It had to be defined by you somewhere else. Unless you show us this function and errors that you get (assuming you've got display_errors set to on in php.ini and error_reporting to E_ALL), we're not able to help you.

Mail Function

$to = "[e-mail]"
$message = "blah blah blah"
$subject = "example email"
$header = "From: [e-mail]"
mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
