Why does my page stay blank after I press submit?

    <form method="post" action="mail_handler.php">
      <div class="col-sm-7 slideanim">
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-6 form-group">
          <input class="form-control" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Naam" type="text" required>
          </div>
          <div class="col-sm-6 form-group">
          <input class="form-control" id="phone" name="phone" placeholder="Telefoonnummer" type="text" required>
        </div> 
          <div class="col-sm-12 form-group">
          <input class="form-control" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" type="email" required>
        </div>
      </div>
      <textarea class="form-control" id="msg" name="msg" placeholder="Bericht" rows="5"></textarea><br>
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-12 form-group">
          <button class="btn btn-default pull-right" id="submit" type="submit">Verstuur</button>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>    
    </form>     

I've tried to make this form work, but for some reason it just doesn't send the E-mail, also it stays blank after I press the submit button. I've tried eveything within my reach to fix it, it must be something pretty obvious that I keep overlooking. (I work with the Cpanel to check if the mail is sending, so there is a smtp server available).

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $name=$_POST['name'];
    $email=$_POST['email'];
    $phone=$_POST['phone'];
    $msg=$_POST['msg'];

    $to='[email protected]'; // Receiver Email ID, Replace with your email ID
    $subject='Form Submission';
    $message="Name :".$name."\n"."Phone :".$phone."\n"."Wrote the following :"."\n\n".$msg;
    $headers="From: ".$email;

    if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
        echo "<h1>Bedankt voor uw bericht!"." ".$name.", Wij nemen zo snel mogelijk contact met u op.</h1>";
    }
    else{
        echo "Er is iets fout gegaan, probeer het alstublieft opnieuw.";
    }
}

?>

You can either add a name="" attribute to button or relay on some other var. Also double check that passed variables are not empty string by using !empty().

So replace:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

with:

if (!empty($_POST['email'])){

or simply:

if (!empty($_POST)){

<button class="btn btn-default pull-right" id="submit" type="submit">Verstuur</button>

You are missing name attribute and your php handler doesn't get in the if true condition, because it can't find "submit" key. Change your HTML Button like this:

<button class="btn btn-default pull-right" id="submit" name="submit" type="submit">Verstuur</button>

You should add name attribute to the button so replace 

<button class="btn btn-default pull-right" id="submit" type="submit">Verstuur</button>

by 

<button class="btn btn-default pull-right" id="submit" name="submit" type="submit">Verstuur</button>`
