html and php form not sending / sending empty mails

So I have this small html form, now I wanted to use php to send rhe data to a e-mail. for the form i used a template I changed a few names. 1 time it send an email but it was empty, from all the other tries I don't get a mail at all. from searching the internet I get that I've done nothing wrong, checked names and all.

html:

<div id="contact">
 <h1>Neem contact met ons op</h1>

<form class="cd-form floating-labels" action="form_sent.php" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
        <fieldset>
<div class="error-message">
      <p>Vul een geldig e-mailadres in</p>
            </div>

            <div class="icon">
                <label class="cd-label">Naam</label>
                <input class="user" type="text" name="cd-name" id="cd-name" required>
            </div> 

            <div class="icon">
                <label class="cd-label">Bedrijf</label>
                <input class="company" type="text" name="cd-company" id="cd-company">
            </div> 

            <div class="icon">
                <label class="cd-label">Email</label>
                <input class="email" type="email" name="cd-email" id="cd-email" required>
            </div>
        </fieldset>

        <fieldset>
<div> </div>
<div class="icon">
      <label class="cd-label">Bericht</label>
                <textarea class="message" name="cd-textarea" id="cd-textarea" required></textarea>
            </div>

            <div>
                <input type="submit" value="Verzenden">
            </div>
        </fieldset>
    </form>
</div>

php: 

<?php

$user = $_POST['cd-user'];
$company = $_POST['cd-company'];
$email = $_POST['cd-email'];
$message = $_POST['cd-textarea'];

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Website bericht";

mail ($to , $subject , $message, "From: " , $user , $company , $email);

echo "Bedankt voor uw bericht";
?>

You are passing the wrong arguments to mail(). It expects 5, 2 of them optional:

bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )

In your case, I think the last 3 parameters are only one, so do this:

$userInfo = $user." ".$company." <".$email.">";
mail ($to , $subject , $message, "From: ".$userInfo);

Also, for $user you're getting $_POST["cd-user"], but the input name is cd-name, not cd-user

The problem ended up being that PHP can't handle enctype="text/plain", so removing it fixed it.
