    To retrieve variables submitted from a POST form you must get their values from the $_POST array.

    This should accomplish what you are after:

    $subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['detail'];
$mail_from = $_POST['email'];
$header ="from: ".$_POST['name']."<$mail_from>";
mail("email@email.com",$subject,$message,$header);
