Still can't get my basic form to Post properly

Hi there,

 

I've built a form that should generate an e-mail, but it's not working properly. At first the page wouldn't display at all due to a problem with the EOD tags, that's fixed and I can now see a page, but when I type something in and hit submit, it's just not doing what it's supposed to do. Like I said it's supposed to e-mail me the data and leave the form filled with the data just submitted; it's doing neither. It is however posting the info into the address bar, so something is happening at least.

 

here's a link to the page:  http://www.remembertheprojector.com/php/testform.php

 

here's the code:

 

<?php

if ($_POST['parse_var'] == "testform"){
 
$emailtitle = 'New E-mail';
$youremail = '[email protected]';
 
$namefield = $_POST['name'];
$emailfield = $_POST['email'];
$messagefield = $_POST['message'];
 
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name: $namefield <br />
Email: $emailfield <br />
Message: $messagefield <br />
EOD;
 
$headers = "From: $emailfield\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail("$youremail", "$emailtitle", "$body", "$headers");
 
$sent = "Thank you!";
}
 
?>

                  <textarea name="message" id="message" cols="40" rows="5"><?php print "$messagefield"; ?></textarea>
                </td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td width="25%"></td>
                <td width="75%" align="right">
                  <input type="reset" name="reset" id="reset" value="reset" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="parse_var" id="parse_var" value="testform" />
                  <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="submit" />
                </td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td width="100%"><?php print "$sent"; ?></td>
              </tr>
            </table>
          </form>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  
  </body>
</html>
 
Also attached is a screen shot of the php so you can see how it's tabbed.
 
Thanks for any help.

<form id="contactform" name="contactform" methord="post" action="testform.php">

 

If you do not specify a method, it defaults to GET
