Hi guys,
So I have been struggling with HTML forms again, and I don't know what is wrong. I don't really know much about PHP but I am trying to learn. I have been having this problem for a few months now, not with this form, but handling forms in general. Thanks in advance for your responces. I took my email out of the following code for safety reasons:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Basic Form</title>
</head>
<Body>
<form method="post" name="Basicform" action="handle.php">
Enter Name:<input type="text" name="name">
Enter Email:<input type="Text" name="email">
Enter Message:<textarea name="message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Send Form"
</body>
</html>

Here is handle.php:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];


$email_from = 'emailwouldgohere';

$email_subject = "New Form submission";

$email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name.\n".
"Here is the message:\n $message".


$to = "Emailwouldgohere";

$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";

$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";

mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);

?>
