PHP sendmail, values not passing through to email - php

Question

I have a contact form on an html page that is using a php script on seperate php page to send text values entered into input boxes in an email
Everything is working except the text entered in the forms input boxes are not passing through, they are blank
Below is what I am doing:
HTML
<form class="form-inline" action="mail_handler.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="fullwidth">
<div class="left-feild col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control color01 background13 border-color08" name="name" placeholder="Name" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control color01 background13 border-color08" name="email" placeholder="Email" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control color01 background13 border-color08" name="number" placeholder="Phone/Cellphone Number">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control color01 background13 border-color08" name="company" placeholder="Company name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="right-feild col-md-6">
<div class="form-group fullwidth">
<textarea class="form-control color01 background13 border-color08" rows="3" placeholder="type your message here" name="message" required></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="submitbutton fullwidth">
<button type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" class="btn more background07 color01 color01-hover01" >book</button>
</div>
</form>
PHP
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$number = $_POST['number'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = 'From: info#recipient.com';
$to = 'myemail#gmail.com'; //email
$subject = 'website booking enquiry';
$message = "From: $name\n Number: $number\n E-Mail: $email\n Company:
$company\n Message: $message\n ";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$headers = 'From: info#recipient.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: $email' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
header( "Location: index.html" );//if u wish to get redirected
?>

This is getting too long for comments, therefore I have submitted the following.
You have quite a few errors in your code.
You've missed a concatenate/dot for your last header and is "breaking the chain" as it were, and variables don't get parsed in single quotes
Also the first header should not have a leading dot.
$name = $_POST['name'];
$number = $_POST['number'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = 'From: info#recipient.com';
$to = 'myemail#gmail.com'; //email
$subject = 'website booking enquiry';
$message = "From: $name\n Number: $number\n E-Mail: $email\n Company:
$company\n Message: $message\n ";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: info#recipient.com' . "\r\n" .
"Reply-To: $email" . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
header( "Location: index.html" );//if u wish to get redirected
exit;
You should also check for empty fields, because anyone can submit with nothing filled and you will get empty results.
I.e.:
if(!empty($_POST['name']) || !empty($_POST['email'])) {
// Assign variables to the POST arrays and process mail
$name = $_POST['name'];
$number = $_POST['number'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// ... rest of your code
}
Note: || means "OR". You can use that, or && which means "AND", or a mix of both.
Footnotes:
\n will not show the data on separate lines, should that be the goal, since you are using HTML headers.
You will need to use <br> if that is what you want to do here.
Consult the manual on mail:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
A few other alternatives to PHP's mail(), are PHPMailer and Swiftmailer:

http://swiftmailer.org/
As stated in comments:
enctype="multipart/form-data" - remove that from your form element. – CBroe"
That can be safely removed since you're not dealing with files.
If this is a server issue, then you will need to find out what the problem is and is beyond the scope of the question.
