</ul>
</nav>

<center><h2>Please fill out form</h2>
<div id='container'>

Answer #1

THe form is not getting posted because of the small mistake in the opening of form tag. The HTTP parameters are all case sensitive and will not work with proper case. In the given code the form opened as <form name="contact" method="post" action="contact.php"> and "post" is coded in small case. As per the rule, get and post should be in upper case for working. Therefore the opening tag should include "POST" (post in uppercase).

<form name="contact" method="POST" action="contact.php">
