PHP mail() function sends empty variables - php

Question

For some reason name, email and message appear empty when I receive an email.
HTML
<form method="post" action="send.php" class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="name">Name</label>
<div class="col-md-4">
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" class="form-control input-md" required="">
</div>
</div>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="email">Email</label>
<div class="col-md-4">
<input id="email" name="email" type="email" class="form-control input-md" required="">
</div>
</div>
<!-- Textarea -->
<div class="form-group">

<div class="col-md-4">
<textarea class="form-control" id="message" name="message"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Button -->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="submit"></label>

PHP Code Simplified example
<?php
$emailto = "example#example.com";
$subject = "Example subject";
$name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
$email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email']));
$message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['message']));
$headers = "From: example#example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: example#example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$body = "<p>You have received a new message:</p>
<p><strong>Ime: </strong> {$name} </p>
<p><strong>Email Address: </strong> {$email} </p>
<p><strong>Poruka: </strong> {$message} </p>";
$success = mail($emailto, $subject, $body, $headers);
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thanks.html\">";
}
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
}
?>
For some reason variables $name, $email and $message appear empty when I receive an email from this contact form/mail function. The rest is shown correctly.

Answer 1

You also need to close the " in the $body variable.
$body = "<p>You have received a new message:</p>
<p><strong>Ime: </strong> {$name} </p>
<p><strong>Email Address: </strong> {$email} </p>
<p><strong>Poruka: </strong> {$message} </p>";

Answer 2

The problem was in my htaccess file and not in the code, I had some lines which were removing php and html extensions for estethics, so its all works fine now.

Answer 3

Try this.
$body = "<p>You have received a new message:</p>
<p><strong>Ime: </strong> ".$name." </p>
<p><strong>Email Address: </strong> ".$email." </p>
<p><strong>Poruka: </strong> ".$message." </p>";
