Here is my script, can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?

<?php

/* Subject and Email Variables */

	$emailSubject = 'Crazy PHP Scripting!';
	$webMaster = 'myemail@gmail.com';
	
/* Gathering Dara Variables */

	$nameField = $_POST['name'];	
	$emailField = $_POST['email'];
	$lettersubjectField = $_POST['lettersubject'];
	$colorField = $_POST['color'];
	$angelcharacterField = $_POST['angelcharacter'];
	$recipientnameField = $_POST['recipientname'];
	$cityField = $_POST['city'];
	$streetnameField = $_POST['streetname'];
	$friendsiblingField = $_POST['friendsibling'];
	$genderField = $_POST['gender'];
	$ageField = $_POST['age'];
	$schoolField = $_POST['school'];	
	$fromField = $_POST['from'];
	$toField = $_POST['to'];
	
	$body = <<<EOD
 <br><hr><br>
Name: $nameField <br>
Email: $emailField <br>
Letter Subject: $lettersubjectField <br>
Color: $colorField <br>
Angel Character: $angelcharacterField <br>
Recipient Name: $recipientnameField <br>
City: $cityField <br>
Street Name: $streetnameField <br>
Friendsibling: $friendsiblingField <br>
Gender: $genderField <br>
Age: $ageField <br>
School: $schoolField <br>
From: $fromField <br>
To: $toField <br>
EOD;

	$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
	$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
	
?>

I never work width EOD but a common problem is (which causes a lot of confusion) that you have to dequote you variables. Try to change your code to something like this:

var$="This is my var ".$my_var." at line 1";

If this isn't enough than have a look if the data are sent correctly. Simply output them with an echo. If they are not set than you already have an error in your form.
