When using heredoc, you must open and close the variable with the same identifier.
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $body = <<<em
  2. <br><hr><br>
  3. name: $name <br>
  4. surname: $surname <br>
  5. email: $email <br>
  6. telephone: $telephone <br>
  7. comments: $comments <br>
  8. EOD;
should be:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $body = <<<EOD
  2. <br><hr><br>
  3. name: $name <br>
  4. surname: $surname <br>
  5. email: $email <br>
  6. telephone: $telephone <br>
  7. comments: $comments <br>
  8. EOD;

Also, variables in php are case sensitive, so you'll have a blank page unless you change echo "$theresults"; to echo "$theResults";

Wrap the code like so:
[code=php]Code goes here[/code]

As to your problem, your email contains undefined variables. For instance you define namefield as $nameField = $_POST['name']; but in the email you send, you have the undefined variable $name instead of the defined $nameField.

The name the element has in the form goes inside the brackets.
So if your form has
html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <input name="name" type="text" id="name" tabindex="16" />
After the form is submitted, PHP can assign the value posted to the variable. Here we assign the value of the textbox above to the variable $nameField:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $nameField=$_POST['name'];
Now if you want to use that variable in your email, you'll need to use the variable just defined.
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $body = <<<EOD
  2. <br><hr><br>
  3. name: $nameField <br>

Get it??
