I am trying to use Chris' contact form http://css-tricks.com/examples/NiceSimpleContactForm2/ in a site i am making, but i cannot get the PHP to work properly. It only sends:

Name:
Email:
Message:

and none of the actual content.

Here is the PHP im using:

<?php
$EmailFrom = \"my-email-address\";
$EmailTo = \"my-email-address\";
$Subject = \"Query from Website\";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 

// prepare email body text
$Body = \"\";
$Body .= \"Name: \";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= \"\n\";
$Body .= \"Email: \";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= \"\n\";
$Body .= \"Message: \";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= \"\n\";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, \"From: <$EmailFrom>\");

?>

and heres my form:


<form action=\"send.php\" id=\"contact\">
<label for=\"Name\">Your name:</label>
<input type=\"text\" id=\"Name\" name=\"Name\" />
<label for=\"Email\">Your email:</label>
<input type=\"text\" id=\"Email\" name=\"Email\" />
<label for=\"Message\">Your message:</label>
<textarea type=\"text\" id=\"Message\" name=\"Message\" cols=\"100%\" rows=\"4\" ></textarea>
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" id=\"send\" value=\"Send\" />
</form>

What am i doing wrong:

box

You do not have a method attribute in your form tag. Add method="post" to your form.
