I have the following html code for a simple contact form. 

```
<form action="requestdate.php" class="unit-66">
    <fieldset>
      <label for="fullName">What is your name?</label>
      <input type="text" name="fullName" id="fullName">

      <label for="email">What is your email?</label>
      <input type="text" name="email" id="email">

      <label for="event">What is your event?</label>
      <input type="text" name="event" id="event">

      <label for="date">What date or date range would you like?</label>
      <input type="text" name="date" id="date">

      <label for="comments">Any additional comments?</label>
      <textarea name="comments" id="comments"></textarea>

      <button class="big-button">Submit</button>
    </fieldset>
  </form>

```

Which is then processed by a php script to log to a database and to send an email out. That php script captures the input value and stores them as a variable.

```
$fullName = $_POST['fullName'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$event = $_POST['event'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];

```

If I var\_dump, I get NULL. However the URL shows the values.
