//$fileName = $_FILES['id']['temp_name'];

the uploaded file is at the path/name given by the ['tmp_name'] element. you must also test if the file upload was successful before referencing any of the uploaded file information. if the total size of the post form data exceeds the post_max_size setting, both the $_POST and $_FILES arrays will be empty. after you detect if a post method form was submitted, you must test for this condition. after you have detected that there is data in $_FILES, you must test the ['error'] element to make sure the file was uploaded without an error.

ref: https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

for the $_POST field data, use the $_POST array, not the $_REQUEST array. don't copy variables to variables for nothing, this is just a waste of typing. if you have more than about two form fields, you should use a data-driven design, and dynamically validate and process the form data.

except maybe during testing, when you are entering your own email address at your web hosting in the form, these emails are not being sent from the email address that someone enters in the form. they are being sent from the mail server at your web hosting and the from email address must either directly correspond to the sending mail server or you must set the dns zone records at the sending mail server to indicate it is allowed to send email for the domain in the from email address.
