email not puping up

Hi, I put the right code : 

<th>
                                <label for="email">Email</label>
                            </th>
                            <td>
                                <input type="text" name="email" id="email">
                            </td>

with the right code for the process : 

<?php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
echo "Name: " . $name . "\n";
echo "email: " . $email . "\n";
echo "message: " . $message;

I have the title email showing but if I write in the field and send it the email field does not appear completed... Name: adrien email: message: voila mon message

thanks a lot

If you do something like this at the beginning of the page, can you see the email?

<?php

echo "<pre>";
var_dump($_POST);
exit;

If you can't see a key of 'email' inside the resulting dump to the screen, then something is wrong between your form submitting and getting to the processing script.

If you can see the email, something is wrong with your processing script.

You can keep pasting this code at various points in your script to find out where and when you lose the value of $email.
