hi, I'm a newb. barely getting my feet wet in php after years of wanting to. I wrote this script following a youtube tutorial and it all made sense as I coded it.... so as far as I'm familiar with the little bit of coding, my script should work. actually it works. I get an email but with no data??? I can't get the script to gather the info and send it along with the email. not sure why as all seems in place.any help here would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
here is the script...
