here is the code:

This line in your form

<TD>Computer Name:<input type="text" action="index.php" name="computerName value="" method="post"></TD>

is incorrect

It should probably be:

<TD>Computer Name:<input type="text" name="computerName" value=""></TD>

Then in the PHP part, change

<?php
  $message = "ComputerName: $computerName 
Checklist Items:
Windows Update: $windowsUpdate_Status
AntiVirus Update: $avUpdate_Status
Virus Scan: $virusScan_Status
Cleaned Dusted: $dustClean_Status
USB Functionality Check: $usb_Status
Optical Drive Functinality Check: $optical_Status
Replaced Parts? $replaceParts_Status
Ran Error Check? $errorCheck_Status
Disk Cleanup? $diskClean_Status
Defrag? $defrag_Status";
?>

to

<?php
  $message = "ComputerName: {$_POST['computerName']} 
Checklist Items:
Windows Update: $windowsUpdate_Status
AntiVirus Update: $avUpdate_Status
Virus Scan: $virusScan_Status
Cleaned Dusted: $dustClean_Status
USB Functionality Check: $usb_Status
Optical Drive Functinality Check: $optical_Status
Replaced Parts? $replaceParts_Status
Ran Error Check? $errorCheck_Status
Disk Cleanup? $diskClean_Status
Defrag? $defrag_Status";
?>
