Why is there no information being posted in email?

<form id="contact-form" class="contact-form" action="contact.php">
                        <p class="contact-name">
                            <input id="contactName" type="text" placeholder="Full Name" name="contactName" />
                        </p>
                        <p class="contact-email">
                            <input id="contactEmail" type="text" placeholder="Email Address" name="contactEmail" />
                        </p>
                        <p class="contact-message">
                            <textarea id="contactMessage" placeholder="Your Message" name="contactMessage" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea>
                        </p>
                        <p class="contact-submit">
                            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-inverse" id="contactSubmit">Submit</button>
                        </p>

                    </form>

That is the form html, below is the php

    <?php 

$name = $_POST['contactName'];
$email = $_POST['contactEmail'];
$message = $_POST['contactMessage'];
$formcontent=" From: $name \n Email: $email \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "[email protected],";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
$success=mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");

    header('Location: http://www.website.com');

?>

I get the email but the user info they input doesn't show up in the email. I have used the same code before and I thought it worked but now this isn't so I am very confused. Thanks

Try with method = "POST"

<form id="contact-form" class="contact-form" action="contact.php" method="POST">

The default value is "GET" so your vars doesn't exists

The default for form element is the method GET and not POST. Thus, If you leave it empty it will act as if you used method="get".

Add method="post" to your form element.

<form id="contact-form" class="contact-form" action="contact.php" method="post">
