HTML/CSS/PHP contact form is sending blank fields


I'm by no means a web designer/coder, but I have enough general knowledge to get my website going. Just a simple portfolio website.

I'm having some problems with my contact form though. It's strictly CSS, HTML and PHP but when I put in the information (name, email and message) to test it, it sends me an email with those field headings, but no content. For example, the email displays as;

Name: Email: Message:

Even when filled out with information.

I have a feeling it's something small and a stupid error, so any help is greatly appreciated!

HTML

<div id="contact-area">
<form method="post" action="contactengine.php">
<input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" placeholder="Name"/>
<input type="text" name="Email" id="Email" placeholder="Email"/>
</form>
</div>
<div id="contact-area2">
<form method="post" action="contactengine.php">
<textarea name="Message" placeholder="Message" rows="20" cols="20" id="Message"></textarea>
</form>
<div id="submit-button">
<form method="post" action="contactengine.php">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT" class="submit-button" />
</form>
</div>
</div>

PHP

<?php

$EmailFrom = "name@name.com";
$EmailTo = "name@name.com";
$Subject = "Contact Form";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=index.htm\">";
exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=index.html\">";
}
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=index.htm\">";
}
?>

Solution

  • You have your form fields in one form, and the submit button in another. They need to be in the same form.

    <form method="post" action="contactengine.php">
    <input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" placeholder="Name"/>
    <input type="text" name="Email" id="Email" placeholder="Email"/>
    
    </div>
    <div id="contact-area2">
    
    <textarea name="Message" placeholder="Message" rows="20" cols="20" id="Message"></textarea>
    
    <div id="submit-button">
    
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT" class="submit-button" />
    </form>
