The input type under email needs to have a name attribute called "email". Your PHP script is looking to see if $_POST["email"] is set, and it is not. So, this should work:
<form id="form" method="post" action="php/send_form_email.php">
<fieldset>
<label><strong>Name:</strong>
<input type="text" name="name" value="">
</label>
<label><strong>Email:</strong>
<input type="text" name="email" value="">
</label>
<label><strong>Phone:</strong>
<input type="text" name="phone" value="">
</label>
<label><strong>Message:</strong>
<textarea name = "message"></textarea>
</label>
<div class="btns">ClearSend</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
