Sending PDF email with MPDF

I have set up the system where while clicking on button, the contract is send with pdf attached.I have used mpdf to send the email to the required email address. The following code is working fine on my local host and does the job correctly but when i put it on the server,it is not showing any error but also not sending any email as in I don't receive anything. Can you help me figure out what maybe am i doing wrong?

// Setup PDF
    $mpdf = new mPDF('utf-8', 'Letter', 0, '', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); // New PDF object with encoding & page size
    ob_start();
    $mpdf->setAutoTopMargin = 'stretch'; // Set pdf top margin to stretch to avoid content overlapping
    $mpdf->setAutoBottomMargin = 'stretch'; // Set pdf bottom margin to stretch to avoid content overlapping
    $mpdf->WriteHTML($stylesheet,1); // Writing style to pdf
    $mpdf->WriteHTML($html); // Writing html to pdf
    // FOR EMAIL
    $content = $mpdf->Output('', 'S'); // Saving pdf to attach to email 
    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
    $emailto = '[email protected]';
    //The function to send email when the contract is requested
    $recepients = array(
      $email,
      '[email protected]'
      );
    $mailto = implode(',', $recepients);
    $from_name = 'Random Project';
    $from_mail = '[email protected]';
    $replyto = '[email protected]';
    $uid = md5(uniqid(time())); 
    $subject = 'Wedding Contract Form';
    $message =  '

    $header .= "--".$uid."--";
    $is_sent = @mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header);
    //$mpdf->Output(); // For sending Output to browser

The Answer is taken from the thread:mPDF Auto Generated PDF Mailer sends blank Email by https://stackoverflow.com/users/3818025/drehx

So , I just used PHP Mailer to send the email. Just posting this to help anybody who would want to use it as example:

try {

$mail = new PHPMailer; 
$mail->AddAddress($email);
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');
$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]');
$mail->AddReplyTo('[email protected]');
$mail->Subject = 'Tanglewood Contract';
$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional - MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Body = '</<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  </style> 
  <body>
  <img src="http://tanglewoodestate.com.au/assets/contract-header.png" width="400px">
  <div width ="300px" style="background-color:#f5e9dd;padding:10px">
  <p>Hi <strong>'.$cname.'</strong>,<p>
  <p>Please Find the <strong>attached contract</strong> from the Tanglewood Estate.</p>
  <p>For any questions or queries,Please contact Us at:<br>
  Tanglewood Estate<br>
  [email protected]<br>
  </div>
  <img src="http://tanglewoodestate.com.au/assets/contract-footer.png" width="400px">
  </body>
  </html>';

//$mail->MsgHTML("*** Form attached! Please see the attached form (.pdf).");
$mail->AddStringAttachment($content, $filename = 'TanglewoodContract.pdf',
      $encoding = 'base64',
      $type = 'application/pdf');      // attachment
if (isset($_FILES['attached']) &&
    $_FILES['attached']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
    $mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['attached']['tmp_name'],
                         $_FILES['attached']['name']);
}
$mail->Send();
echo "<div style='margin-left:4%;'>Message Sent OK</div>\n";
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
}
