}
else if(strlen($email) < 1 ) {
echo 'email_error';

else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+#[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", $email)) {
echo 'email_error';
}
else if(strlen($message) < 1 ){
echo 'email_error';
} else {
// NOW SEND THE ENQUIRY
$email_message="\n\n" .
"Name : " .
ucwords($name) .

Any help would be awesome!

Answer 1

You must have the name attribute on your input-elements. The first one should have
name="name"
and so on. You can read more about it here: Variables From External Sources : HTML Forms (GET and POST)

Answer 2

It looks like you've missed the attribute name name='somename' everywhere in your form fields. e.g.
This is what you have
<input placeholder="Please enter your name" type="text" tabindex="1" required autofocus>
This is what it should have been
<input name="name" placeholder="Please enter your name" type="text" tabindex="1" required autofocus>
