You will need a { after the if and a } after the mail().

I would do some validation of the POST data before sending possibly
malicious data to myself.

Note that Lammi added name="xxx" to the input tags (you cannot use just
id="xxx" they aren't the same thing).

Also, he added a value for the action attribute of the form, though
using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is no longer considered a good idea due to
XSS exploits.
