Hi. I'm currently trying to create a questionnaire for clients using a PHP mailing example I found here: http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php

 

I modified it but for some reason the form is not outputting errors and nothing is being sent. Could someone look over it? I'm currently using the same code on my portfolio site and it works fine.

 

mail.php
