Can someone let me know where I screwed up here?

http://angelscancleaning.com/booking-page.html

<?php

$emailSubject = 'Bin Washing';

$webMaster = 'service@angelsjunkremoval.com';

$user_name = $_POST['name'];

$user_address = $_POST['address'];

$user_city = $_POST['city'];

$user_email = $_POST['email'];

$user_phone = $_POST['phone']

$user_frequency = $_POST['frequency'];

$user_bins = $_POST['bins'];

$user_notes = $_POST['notes'];

$body = <<<EOD

<hr>

Name: $name

Address: $address

City: $city

Email: $email

Phone: $phone

Frequency: $frequency

Bins: $bins

Notes: $notes

EOD;

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

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

/* Results rendered as HTML */

$theResults = <<<EOD

<html>

<head>

<title>You're Booked</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Booked</h1>

Thank you for booking with us. We clean the day after your trash day. We will contact you soon to let you know the date of your next appointment

</body>

</html>

EOD;

echo "$theResults";

?>

All of your php variables are inconsistent, you use $user_name to get the information from the form field and then try to output that as $name for example.

Also do you specifically know that your server supports the php mail function? If you can clarify it does then l can most probably help.

I highly recommend using HTML5 contact forms with a secure processing script. The PHP script you're using now is not nearly secure enough for today's web. See the secure script below.

https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

PHP Mailer is what most hosting providers recommend because it sanitizes form input data before it reaches your server. There's less chance of hackers exploiting your forms and using your server as a spam relay.

If you can't work with code, use a 3rd party form-to-email service like Wufoo.com or Jotform.com The form data is processed by their servers, not yours.

Hope that helps.
