New to php and getting frustrated

Hello,
( Sorry I originally posted this on the wrong forum)

I am trying to do a simple form (text fields only). The users enter, submit, then there is a confirmation page and information is sent to an email. When 'submit' is clicked there is no information returned from the $_POST variable. Here is the code:

[PHP]
$to="MyEmail@MyAddress.com";
$subject=$_POST['course'];
echo "<p>Thank you" $_POST['name'] "!<br>";
echo "Your assignment for" $_POST['course'] "has been submitted.";
//mail string to send to email
$msg = "NAME: " $_POST['name'];
$msg .= "LICENSE NO: " $_POST['license'];
$msg .= "EMAIL: " $_POST['email'];
$msg .= "DATE: " $_POST['mydate'];
$msg .= "QUESTION 1: " $_POST['q1'];
$msg .= "QUESTION 2:" $_POST['q2'];
$headers ="FROM: " $_POST['email'];
//set up mail
mail($to,$subject,$msg,$headers);
?>
[/PHP]

The form action and textfields values are correct. I get the "text" but nothing from the html form. Now, my remote host supports php, so thats not an issue. I am working in DWMX 2003, PHP 5.0.2, on WinXP pro.
I am getting very frustrated and could really use some expertise.
Thanks.

maybe the html isn't setup correctly in the form (did you set the name correctly)?

i think this is accomplishing what you are trying to do!
