problem with POST contact form

[traq]

This is my first attempt at writing a contact form using php.
The form displays (you can see it online here), but it simply clears the fields when submitted - which leads me to suspect that the POST data is not being sent.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

<?php if(!isset($_POST['email'])) { ?>
    <div>
        Please send me a message.  
        I will be happy to answer your questions.
    </div>
    <form method="POST" class="cssform">
        <p>
            To: Adrian
        </p>
        <p>
            <label for="user">From: </label>
            <input type="text" id="user" value="">
        </p>
        <p>
            <label for="email">Email: </label>
            <input type="text" id="email" value="">
        </p>
        <p>
            <label for="subject">Subject: </label>
            <input type="text" id="subject" value="Reel Lumber Website Demo">
        </p>
        <p>
            <label for="message">Question/ Comment: </label>
            <textarea rows="10" cols="45" id="message"></textarea>
        </p>
        <p>
            <input type="submit" value="Send Message" id="B1">
        </p>
    </form><?php
} else {
    echo '<h3>Sending message</h3><br>Please wait<br><br>';
    
    $userIP = ($_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR']) ? $_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    $eMail = ''; //email edited out
    $userName = $_POST['user'];
    $userEmail = $_POST['email'];
    $subject = $_POST['subject'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];
    
    $OKuserName = filter_var($userName, filter_sanitize_string);
    $cleanUserEmail = filter_var($userEmail, filter_sanitize_email);
    if(filter_var($cleanUserEmail, filter_validate_email)) {
        $OKuserEmail = $cleanUserEmail;
    } else {
        echo 'Invalid email address : <a href="contactme.php">please try again</a>';
    }
    $OKsubject = filter_var($subject, filter_sanitize_string);
    $OKmessage = filter_var($message, filter_sanitize_string);
    
    if(mail('Adrian <'.$email.'>',
        $OKsubject, $OKmessage,
        'Return-Path: "'.$OKuserName.'" <'.$OKuserEmail.">\n"
        .'From: "'.$OKuserName.'" <'.$OKuserEmail.">\n"
        .'Reply-To: "'.$OKuserName.'" <'.$OKuserEmail.">\n"
        ."X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\n"
        ."X-From-IP: ".$userIP)) {
        echo '<h3>Message Sent Successfully</h3><br>Thank you.  I will reply as soon as possible.';
    } else {
        echo '<h3>Unable to Send Message</h3><br><a href="contactme.php">please try again</a>';
    }
}

the script is loosely based on this one, which works just fine:

<?php if( ! isset( $_POST["EMail"] ) ) { ?>

<div>
Send me your questions or comments by using this form.  I'll answer as soon as possible.
</div>
<form method="POST" name="MailForm">
  <div align="center">
    <center>
    <table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
        <td valign="top" align="right">To:</td>
        <td>

<?php

  //  Display Menu if More than one name
  if( count( $eMail ) > 1 ) {
    echo "<select size=\"1\" name=\"To\">\n";

    foreach( $eMail as $k => $a )
        echo "<option value=\"$k\">$a[0]</option>\n";
    echo "</select>\n";
   } else
     echo $eMail[0][0];

?>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td valign="top" align="right">From:</td>
        <td><input type="text" name="From" size="44" maxlength="32"></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td valign="top" align="right">E-Mail:</td>
        <td><input type="text" name="EMail" size="44"></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td valign="top" align="right">Subject: </td>
        <td>
          <p align="center"><input type="text" name="Subject" size="44"></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    </center>
  </div>
  <p align="center"><textarea rows="10" name="Body" cols="45"></textarea></p>
  <p align="center"><input type="submit" value="Send" name="B1"></p>
</form>

<?php
 } else {

   echo "<B>Attempting to send message</b></BR></BR>\n";

   $userip = ($_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR']) ? $_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

   if( count( $eMail ) == 1 )
    $_POST["To"] = "0";

   if( mail( '"' . $eMail[$_POST["To"]][0] . '" <' . $eMail[$_POST["To"]][1] . '>',
       $_POST["Subject"], $_POST["Body"],
       'Return-Path: "' . $_POST["From"] . '" <' . $_POST["EMail"] . ">\n"
       . 'From: "' . $_POST["From"] . '" <' . $_POST["EMail"] . ">\n"
       . 'Reply-To: "' . $_POST["From"] . '" <' . $_POST["EMail"] . ">\n"
       . "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n"
       . "X-From-IP: " . $userip ) )
     echo "Message Sent Successfully";
  else
      echo "UNABLE To Send Message.";
}
?>

Edit: " var_dump($_POST) " returns " array(0){} ", so the POST data is not being sent. Any suggestions on what to troubleshoot next? thanks

[bluewalrus]

have you tried giving the form an action?

action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>"

oo possibly ignore that

id's arent what the php is reading with the $_POST['email'] it's looking for the name.

so this <input type="text" id="user" value="">
should be <input type="text" id="user" name="user" value="">

^that's it. works with names. thanks a bunch, man.
