   I have created my plugin(simple mail).
   Which sends mail to administrator whenever a user gives a feedback.

   I have added a feedback page on site which collects user info as name, contact no. , email-address and feedback.

   I want to trigger my plugin when the user submits (clicks on Submit button).

   I mean when user enters all info and submits it , the plugin should send mail to administrator.

   normally to hook to wordpress we write:

   add_action('action_hook', 'action_function_name');

   What should i use in place of action_hook.

   Myplugin: hremail
   ----------------------
   function hremail(){

   if(isset($_REQUEST['email']))
   //if email is filled out ,send email
   {
   //send email
   $name = $_REQUEST['name'];
   $contact = $_REQUEST['contact'];
   $email = $_REQUEST['email'];
   $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];
   $comments = $_REQUEST['comments'];
   $list = 'maheshstiwari@gmail.com,harsh@gmail.com';
   mail( $list, "Subject: $subject", $comments, "From: $email" );
   echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
   }
   else
   //if "email" is not filled out, display the error messsage
   {

   echo "Please enter the email";
   }
   }

   add_action('post_comment','hremail');
   ?>

   i have added post_comment as action hook but its not working.

   So this should run when a user posts a comment from the usual WP comment box?

   If you put print_r($_REQUEST); die; just inside your hremail function, do you get any output? If I remember right you need to pull that $_REQUEST into the function with global $_REQUEST; before you have access to it. Try that.
