Well it works partially in that the form comes through, but the form is always blank. What have I done wrong.

A simple email form without any error reporting or user input validation - you should add those when you get your form working. I always start simple and build on it as you can find any errors/problems as you go.you have.
This should show you where the different parts go. All on one page for the form and the php code.
<?php
// ********* If the Submit button was clicked do this.
if (!empty($_POST['Submit'])) {
// Put your post variables into varaibles
$email = $_POST['email'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
// Joins all the variables into one
$message = "email: $email \
";
$message .= "Name: $name \
";
// Settings for sending the email
$headers = "From: Email from website \
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email";
mail( 'your_email_address','Email from website',$message,$headers );
exit( "<br /><center><h2>Email sent<br /><br /><br />Thank you for your email I will reply as soon as I can.<br /><br />Anthony<br /></h2><br /><br /><a href=\\"index.php\\">Return to the website index page</a></center>");
}
// ***** Otherwise do this
echo "<h2> Please use this form to contact us</h2><br />";
?>
<form method="post" action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" >
<p><input name="email" type="text" id="email" ><span class="required"> ( Required )</span></p>
<p><input name="name" type="text" id="name" ><span class="required"> ( Required )</span></p>
<p><input class="submitbutton" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /></p>
</form>
I appreciate that you must think me stupid but I know nothing of PHP.
