HTML Form Data Not Posting to PHP

Hi, so I have a form in my HTML script that should be posting to send_form_email.php, however, all the form data will not pass through into the PHP; when I echo the values, they’re all displayed as blank.

HTML Form:

<form class="col s12 m6" method="post" action="send_form_email.php">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="input-field col s6">
      <input name="first_name" id="first_name" type="text" class="validate">
      <label for="first_name">First Name</label>
    </div>
    <div class="input-field col s6">
      <input name="last_name" id="last_name" type="text" class="validate">
      <label for="last_name">Last Name</label>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="input-field col s12">
      <input name="email" id="email" type="email" class="validate">
      <label for="email">Email</label>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="input-field col s12">
      <input name="subject" id="subject" type="text" class="validate">
      <label for="subject">Subject</label>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="input-field col s12">
      <textarea name="message" id="message" class="materialize-textarea"></textarea>
      <label for="message">Message</label>
    </div>
  </div>
  <button class="btn waves-effect waves-light studioblue" type="submit" name="submit">Submit
    <i class="material-icons right">send</i>
  </button>
</form>

And the PHP:

[php]

<?php $EmailTo = "[email protected]"; $FName = $_POST['first_name']; $LName = $_POST['last_name']; $Email = $_POST['email']; $Message = $_POST['message']; $Subject = $_POST['subject']; $Submitted = $_POST['submit']; // validation $validationOK=true; echo $Submitted; if (!$Submitted) { //$validationOK=false; } if (!$validationOK) { print ""; exit; } // All of these except EmailTo are blank. echo $EmailTo; echo $FName; echo $LName; echo $Email; echo $Message; echo $Subject; $Body = ""; $Body .= "First name: "; $Body .= $FName; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Last name: "; $Body .= $LName; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Email: "; $Body .= $email; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Message: "; $Body .= $message; $Body .= "\n"; // send email $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$Email>"); // redirects temporarily disabled for testing if ($success){ //print ""; } else{ // print ""; } ?>

[/php]

That is odd.

Try seeing what is coming from the form.

[php]print_r($_POST);[/php]

Next, you don’t need to create new variable to hold the values from variables. You can also simplify your code a bit:

[php]$body = “”; // define this so we have a variable holding the body
foreach($r as $key => $val){
if($key == ‘submit’)
continue;

$k = ucwords(str_replace('_', ' ', $key));
$body .= "$k: $val\n";

}[/php]

Now, $body is holding the entire message for us without all the extra writing.
