Before you can use post data you must grab the variable as $_POST['var'] from the $_POST array

So for example whatever you named the variable in your form that sent you to this page, is what it would be in the post array. name = "test" then $_POST['test']

Here's what your code should be.

contact.php
_____________________________________________________________

<?php
    // this is the info that comes on the email when it's ok to send!
       $name = $_POST['name'];
  $phone = $_POST['phone'];
  $email= $_POST['email'];
  $comments = $_POST['comments'];


        $domain_url = "domain.com";
        $msg = "E-MAIL SENT FROM http://www.".$domain_url . "\n";
        $msg .= "Name:    $name\n";
        $msg .= "Phone:    $phone\n";
        $msg .= "Email:    $email\n";
        $msg .= "Comments:    $comments\n";
       
       
        $to = "domain.com";
        $subject = $domain_url . " - Contact Us Web Form";
        $mailheaders = "From: Contact Us ".$domain_url . " Web Form \n \n";
        //$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: [email protected]\n\n";

        mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

   header("Location: contact_thanks.htm");

   
   ?>
