here is the form

here is the PHP

please is there something / a code wrong here ?

 

You have run type="submit" and value="" together.

<input type="submit"value="send your inquiry" />

Code (markup):

You should add error checking to make sure the values are being sent, and to see if they are empty. like this:

<?php
$error = 0;
if(isset($_POST['username'])){
    $name = $_POST['username'];
}else{
     echo "Please enter username";
     $error++;
}

if(isset($_POST['email'])){
     $email = $_POST['email'];
}else{
     echo "Please enter email";
     $error++;
}

if(isset($_POST['inquiry'])){
     $text = $_POST['inquiry'];
}else{
     echo "Please enter inquiry";
     $error++;
}



//To, Subject, Message, Header

if($errors > 0){
     echo "Mail not sent! Please correct the above problems and try again.");
}else{
     mail('myemail@mywebsite.com','Inquiry',$text,'From: '. $name .'<' . $email . '>');
     echo "Your message has been sent";
     header('location: step3.html')
}

?>

I messed up the code in my previous post. I didn't realize you had spanned the mail function across 2 lines

Try the below it will be more readable. Oh and you were missing the 'l' in mail(). I got your pm. Try to check $text right before you use the mail() function like this:
echo $text; just to see if it is set. If it prints the text then it should be sending it in the email.

If it does print the content $text, but it doesn't show in the email try setting the text manual in the mail function to see if it will send.

like: mail("my@email.com","Test Subject","Test Message");

if you still get an email without a message body check the config in the php.ini to make sure it is setup to work correctly with you servers mail program (postfix,sendmail,exim,etc).

<?php
$to      = 'myemail@mywebsite.com';
$subject = 'Inquiry';
$message = $text;
$headers = 'From: ".$name."<".$email.">"."\r\n";


mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>
