problem with process.php file?

When i followed the instruction on the video all i get from the process.php file is the text from the details box and no username or details any ideas?

<?php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$details = $_POST["details"];

echo $name;
echo $email;
echo $details;
?>

<?php 
$pageTitle = "Suggest a Media Item";
$section = "suggest";

include("inc/header.php"); ?>

<div class="section page">
  <div class="wrapper">
    <h1>Suggest a Media Item</h1>
  <p>If you think there is something I&rsquo;m missing, let me know! Complete the form to send me an email.</p>
    <form method ="post" action="process.php">
        <table>
        <tr>
            <th><label for="name">Name</label></th>
            <td><input type="text" id="name" name"name"/></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th><label for="email">Email</label></th>
            <td><input type="text" id="email" name"email"/></td>
        </tr>

            <td><textarea name="details" id="details"></textarea></td>

Hi there, Cliff Jackson ! I received your request for assistance and added a bit of formatting to your code so that it's a bit more readable in the forums.

Currently, I see two errors in your HTML and they contain the same sort of problem.

For the "Name" field you have this:

<td><input type="text" id="name" name"name"/></td>

But that is missing an equals sign. It should be:

<!-- Note the = between name and "name" -->
<td><input type="text" id="name" name="name"/></td>

For the email you have the same thing. That should be:

<!-- Note the equal sign between name and "email"  -->
<td><input type="text" id="email" name="email"/></td>

If correcting these doesn't fix the issue then I will need to see a snapshot of your workspace to assist you further.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
