imap_mail will just return true or false, all you can do on the php side 
would be

if(imap_mail($to, $subject, $w, $he)) {
	echo "Email was received by mail server";
} else {
	echo "Failed to send email, check mail server logs";
}

Had this been imap errors, then you had the imap_errors() and 
imap_last_error() to use.
Your error is a php configuration error and you should in such case use 
ini_get() to see that proper values has been set for smtp and smtp_port.

Also you need to ensure you have the right services up and running.
