PHP Sending Form Script

Question

I am having a bit trouble getting the PHP script to work. I am making a very basic form just collecting name and email

<form action"email.php" method="POST" id="signup-form">
                    <p><input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="name" /></p>
                    <p><input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="email address" /></p>
                    <p class="form-note"><em>* we will only email you when our store is up</em></p>
                    <p><input type="submit" value="Get Notified" /></p>
                </form>

My PHP script is

<?php
    $error = false;
    $sent = false;

    if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
        if(empty($_POST['name']) || empty($_POST['email'])) {
            $error = true;
        } 
        else {

            $to = "my.name@gmail.com";

            $name = trim($_POST['name']);
            $email = trim($_POST['email']);

            $subject = "New Subscriber";

            $message =  "Name: $name \r\n Email: $email";
            $headers = "From:" . $name;
            $mailsent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

            if($mailsent) {
                $sent = true;
            }
       }
  }
?>

I'm using a Linux hosting company, net registry. I tried to get the PHP errors turned on, but couldn't see how in my cpanel. The mail is not sent, but I have no way of seeing the error preventing it.

Change your HTML to this and try

<form action="email.php" method="POST" id="signup-form">
                    <p><input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="name" /></p>
                    <p><input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="email address" /></p>
                    <p class="form-note"><em>* we will only email you when our store is up</em></p>
                    <p><input type="submit" value="Get Notified" /></p>
                </form>
