I'm trying to create a website and my PHP and html just wont work!! When I input data the website doesnt send the information to my email, and in the input forms, my validation is showing instead of the placeholder!!! please help!!!!:-)

my html is as follows:

       <div class="form-group">
    <label for="name" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Name</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Preferred Name" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']); ?>">
    </div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
    <label for="email" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">

    </div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
    <label for="message" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Message</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
        <textarea class="form-control" rows="4" name="message"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']);?></textarea>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
    <div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-2">
        <input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="Send" class="btn btn-primary">
    </div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
    <div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-2">
        <?php echo $result; ?>    
    </div>
</div>

my PHP is as follows:

$Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 

// validation
 $validationOK=true;
 if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
 exit;
 }

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Tel: ";
$Body .= $Tel;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
 if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\`content=\"0;URL=contactthanks.php\">";
 }
 else{   
 print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
 }
 ?>

$EmailTo and $Subject are not set in your script that I can see? — Ashley, Nov 03 '15 at 13:10

Add error reporting to the top of your file(s) right after your opening ` — Jay Blanchard, Nov 03 '15 at 13:20

There are lots of mis-matches between your form field names and your $_POST[] field names. eg: $_POST['Tel'] is not in your form... $_POST['Email'] isn't either, but $_POST['email'] is... — MaggsWeb, Nov 03 '15 at 13:24
You have a backtick that should be a doublequote in your $success print string. — MaggsWeb, Nov 03 '15 at 13:27

you have not closed the form tag and in contact there is no value given of post paste this code and check and while using html5 validation it will set validation error message using placeholder like please enter+your placeholder

  <form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="post" action="index.php">
           <div class="form-group">
        <label for="name" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Name</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Preferred Name" value="<?php echo @htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']); ?>">
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="email" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" placeholder="example@domain.com" value="<?php echo @htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']); ?>">
