Help please my php form doesn't work

[Mussy]

I am very new to PHP and HTML, I had this code from college to use in a contacts form and I am trying to test it.
The form seems to send the e-mail, but when I receive it only the name field appears and nothing else. Can anybody tell me what I've done wrong. Here is the PHP:

<?
$whereFROM = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_REFERER"];

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//// BEGIN YOUR DETAILS /////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//// WHERE YOU ARE SENDING THE E-MAIL TO ////
$toAddress = "[e-mail]";

//// THIS IS THE SUBJECT ////
$subject = "Graham Attwood Carpentry Services Enquiries form";

//// ONLY CHANGE AFTER "From: " (i.e [e-mail]) ////
$fromAddress = "From: [e-mail]";

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//// END YOUR DETAILS ///////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
{
$emailMessage .=
$name = $_POST["name"];
$telephone = $_POST["telephone"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
}
$mresult = mail($toAddress, $subject, $emailMessage, $fromAddress);

if (!$mresult) {
	echo "THERE HAS BEEN AN ERROR!. <a href=\"$whereFROM\">GO BACK</a> AND TRY AGAIN LATER.";
	exit;
}
?>

and this is the HTML:

<form action="thankyoupage.php" method="post" name="Enquiries Form" id="Enquiries Form" onSubmit="MM_validateForm('name','','R','telephone','','R','e-mail address','','RisEmail','message','','R');return document.MM_returnValue">
        <p>
          <label>name
            <br>
            <input name="name" type="text" class="formstyle" id="name" size="35">
          </label>
        </p>
        <p>
          <label>telephone
            <br>
            <input name="telephone" type="text" class="formstyle" id="telephone" size="35">
          </label>
        </p>
        <p>
          <label>email address
            <br>
            <input name="email address" type="text" class="formstyle" id="email address" size="35">
          </label>
        </p>
        <p>
          <label>message<br>
<textarea name="message" cols="45" rows="6" class="formstyle" id="message"></textarea>
          </label>
        </p>
        <p>
          <input name="Submit" type="submit" class="submit" id="Submit" value="SUBMIT">
        </p>
      </form>
    </div>

Can anybody help?

The line that sends the email is

$mresult = mail($toAddress, $subject, $emailMessage, $fromAddress);

and [man]mail[/man] tells us that the third parameter corresponds to message to be sent. In this case, you provide the variable $emailMessage for this purpose, so let's look at what you assign to this variable in the code above.

$emailMessage .=
$name = $_POST["name"];

That statement assign the value of $_POST['name'] to $name, and then concatenate the same value to $emailMessage. Do note that unless you've left out code, $emailMessage has not yet been defined, which means that concatenating things to it will result in an error (check your error log), since the operator .= is the same as writing

$emailMessage = $emailMessage . 'stuff to append';

and if $emailMessage doesn't yet exist, you can't access it's value. Hence the error "undefined variable: emailMessage".

After that, you do not do anything else with $emailMessage. You do however assign the value of $_POST['message'] to $message, but that isn't the same variable as $emailMessage...

Dear johanafm

I would like to thank you for your help, a piece of code was missing
and I finally managed to make it work.
