you have multi errors:
- You should use attribute [name] in all HTML elements
example:
<input id="firstname" type="text" placeholder="First Name" name="firstname" />
- You didn't use data POST values in you email body
You have an error in mail function you must remove last [,] from parameters
mail("iamdrivingleads@yahoo.com", "email enquiry", $body);
Good luck

Your PHP form won't send the form data to your email because:
- Your form is using the method
_POSTinstead ofPOST - The
POST'edvariables you are accessing in your PHP script$_POST[...]should be identified withnameattribute (instead of theidattribute you used) in yourHTMLscript
As a side-note, I believe this code is not for production server, because it still lacks some conventional mail sending sanity checks, such as headers that will decrease the chances of your message ending up in spam folder, etc.
