Question

When I submit my form an email is sent to my email address with details entered in the form but when I recieve the email the data is blank here is my code

    <?php
$form = '<form action="test2.php" method="POST">
<table width="300" style="border: 1px solid black;">
<tr>
<td>Name         &nbsp; <td><input type="text" id="name">
<tr>
<td>Phone Number &nbsp; <td><input type="text" id="telephone">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/></div>
</tr>
</table>';

echo $form;
$to = '[e-mail]';
$name = $_POST['name'];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];

$body = "<div>Name: $name <br>Telephone Number: $telephone<br></div>";


// subject
$subject = 'Call Back Requested';


// message
$message = $body;


// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";


// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To:' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Call Back Request <[e-mail]>' . "\r\n";

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

?>

The problem is when I submit the form the I recieve an email that says

Name (Nothing)
Phone Number (Nothing)

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong

Thanks In Advance

You have to specify the name attribute for your inputs:

<input type="text" id="name" name="name">
<input type="text" id="telephone" name="telephone">

instead of

<input type="text" id="name">
<input type="text" id="telephone">
