user data in forms turns into blank email when submitted

i'm trying to set up a street team sign up on my bands web page. i've created the form when it is filled out and submitted i get an email that looks like this:

firstname:
lastname:
address1:
address2:
city:
state:
country:
zip:
phone:
email:
comments:

i can't read what they typed. My .php looks like this:

@$pfw_ip= $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
@$firstname = addslashes($_POST['firstname']);
@$lastname = addslashes($_POST['lastname']);
@$address1 = addslashes($_POST['address1']);
@$address2 = addslashes($_POST['address2']);
@$city = addslashes($_POST['city']);
@$state = addslashes($_POST['state']);
@$country = addslashes($_POST['country']);
@$zip = addslashes($_POST['zip']);
@$phone = addslashes($_POST['phone']);
@$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);
@$comments = addslashes($_POST['comments']);


$pfw_header = "From: $email\n"
. "Reply-To: $email\n";
$pfw_subject = "Subject";
$pfw_email_to = "me@someplace.com";
$pfw_message = "Visitor's IP: $pfw_ip\n"
. "firstname: $firstname\n"
. "lastname: $lastname\n"
. "address1: $address1\n"
. "address2: $address2\n"
. "city: $city\n"
. "state: $state\n"
. "country: $country\n"
. "zip: $zip\n"
. "phone: $phone\n"
. "email: $email\n"
. "comments: $comments\n";
@mail($pfw_email_to, $pfw_subject ,$pfw_message ,$pfw_header ) ;

header("Location: success.html");

?>


i've been trying to figure it out for two days! it has to be something simple.
If someone can help me, please do! keep in mind i'm brand new at this, going on two days and one min.

 

Why do you use the @ before a string definition all the time

 

i took them out, it doesn't change a thing. do you think it might be the box that contains the users text in the html?

 

Try this code
use .= to combine all messages

$pfw_message = "Visitor's IP:" .$pfw_ip\n;
$pfw_message .= "firstname:" .$firstname\n;
$pfw_message .= "lastname:" .$lastname\n;
$pfw_message .= "address1:" .$address1\n;

.....

 

Replace every \n with <br> and let us see the result.

 

We also need to see the HTML page that they're filling out in the first place.

One thing I'd look at straight up is check that the HTML form is POSTing, not GETting...
