Form php not working - php

Question

I have gone searched the net and tried many ways of creating and validating a form which sends info to an email but I can't get my head around it. This is what I have done and it seems to work (have not been able to test if it sends), but every time I submit it comes up with "all fields required error" even with all boxes filled/empty. I looked on this site through similar questions and tried to fix it by them but no luck.
What am I missing?
Should I use the php on another page?
Once the error is fixed, will it send and keep the information submitted by the user?
In case it helps - I'm using foundation 5 for the site. Beginner at PHP.
<?php
$action=$_REQUEST['action'];
if ($action=="")
{
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="submit">
<label>Name
<input name"name" type="text" placeholder="Your name"/>
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<label>Email
<input name"email" type="text" placeholder="Your email" />
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<label>Your Message
<textarea name="message" type="text" placeholder="Comment here"/></textarea>
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Send Message">
</div>
</div>
</form>
<?php
}
else
{
$name=$_REQUEST['name'];
$email=$_REQUEST['email'];
$message=$_REQUEST['message'];
if (($name=="")||($email=="")||($message==""))
{
echo "All fields required! Please fill in the form again.";
}
else{
$from="From: $name<$email>\r\nReturn-path: $email";
$subject="Hire";
mail("myemail", $subject, $message, $from);
// back to homepage - will add send confirm when fixed. header( "Location: ");
}
}
?>
Thanks in advance for any help!

Answer 1

You're missing = to assign value for your name attribute:
<input name="name" type="text" placeholder="Your name"/>
<!------- ^ here
and:
<input name="email" type="text" placeholder="Your email" />
<!-------- ^ and here

Answer 2

You are giving input attribute name for name and email like this :
<input name"name" type="text" placeholder="Your name"/>
<input name"email" type="text" placeholder="Your email" />
Change it to
<input name="name" type="text" placeholder="Your name"/>
<input name="email" type="text" placeholder="Your email" />

Answer 3

check this ..Add= to email and name
<input name="name" type="text" placeholder="Your name"/>
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<label>Email
<input name="email" type="text" placeholder="Your email" />
</label>
