Re: please help

When using heredoc, you must open and close the variable with the same identifier.

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$body = <<<em
<br><hr><br>
name: $name <br>
surname: $surname <br>
email: $email <br>
telephone: $telephone <br>
comments: $comments <br>
EOD;
$body = <<<em
<br><hr><br>
name: $name <br>
surname: $surname <br>
email: $email <br>
telephone: $telephone <br>
comments: $comments <br>
EOD;

should be:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
name: $name <br>
surname: $surname <br>
email: $email <br>
telephone: $telephone <br>
comments: $comments <br>
EOD;
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
name: $name <br>
surname: $surname <br>
email: $email <br>
telephone: $telephone <br>
comments: $comments <br>
EOD;

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

Re: please help

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.

Re: please help

The name the element has in the form goes inside the brackets.
So if your form has

html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" tabindex="16" />
<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)
$nameField=$_POST['name'];
$nameField=$_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)

$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
name: $nameField <br>

Get it??
