Having trouble sending HTML form to email through PhP [duplicate] - php

Question

This question already has answers here:
How can I send an email using PHP?
(20 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have created a form and would like the information to be sent to my email using php. The information submits, and I receive an e-mail, but the email only displays the first and last name of input by the individual submitting the form. I would like to know what is missing from either the php side or html side.
Thank You

Answer 1

Actually there is no message variable to send!!
you are just sending $first_name and $last_name as headers!
