How do I send email in HTML form using PHP?
Question
when I submit the form all of the fields in the e-mail are blank and I can not figure out why. It started with getting a php error of the variables not being written to, then after searching on here I found a solution to add the "isset" and initiate the variables to a blank string. I don't have anything in the error log any more but when the form sends to the e-mail all of the details are blank.
Here is my HTML Form Code:
<form action="dish-business.php">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="control-group">
<div class="form-group floating-label-form-group controls">
<label for="businessname" class="sr-only control-label">Business Name</label>
<input name="businessname" id="businessname" type="text" placeholder="Business Name*" required="" data-validation-required-message="Please enter your business name" class="form-control input-lg"><span class="help-block text-danger"></span>

Forms default to method="GET" . Change your form to:
<form action="dish-business.php" method="POST">
