This modified form tutorial keeps dropping to the “else” statement, meaning that it failed. Blarg!

What am I missing?

**mailer.php**

\<?php  
if(isset($\_POST[‘submit’])) {  
$to = “[bobo.scottberry@gmail.com](mailto:bobo.scottberry@gmail.com)”;  
$subject = “IEX Exception”;  
$name\_field = $\_POST[‘name’];  
$starthr = $\_POST[‘starthr’];  
$startmin = $\_POST[‘startmin’];  
$starttime = $\_POST[‘starttime’];

$stophr = $\_POST[‘stophr’];  
$stopmin = $\_POST[‘stopmin’];  
$stoptime = $\_POST[‘stoptime’];  
$status = $\_POST[‘status’];  
$reason = $\_POST[‘reason’];

$body = "$name\_field  
Start Time: $starthr : $startmin $starttime  
Stop Time: $stophr : $stopmin $stoptime  
Status: $status  
Reason: $reason  
" ;  
echo “Exception has been successfully submitted to supervisor and lead.”;  
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {  
echo “blarg!”;  
}
