Form help

This is driving me nuts! I've created a form.. using the same technique that I've created hundreds of other forms with, and for some reason I cannot get this form to send the email! I need a fresh pair of eyes. Anyone that would like to take a look and tell me if you see something wrong with the coding, I would REALLY appreciate it!
The form:
< form method="post" action="../php_uploads/comment.php">
< font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
< input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Perfect Pools - Comment Form">
Name: < input type="text" name="Name" size="30">
Address: < input type="text" name="Address" size="30">
City: < input type="text" name="City" size="30"> State: < input type="text" name="State" size="5">
Zip: < input type="text" name="Zip" size="20">
Daytime Phone: < input type="text" name="DaytimePhone" size="20">
Evening Phone: < input type="text" name="EveningPhone" size="20">
Email: < input type="text" name="Email" size="30">
Comments: < textarea name="Comments" rows="5" cols="30">
< input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit Comments"> < input name="reset" type="reset" value="Clear Comments">
Email script:
< ?php
$recipient = 'brandi@wikedawsum.com';
$subject = 'Perfect Pools - Comments Form';
$form_url = 'http://perfectpools.wikedawsum.com/pages/comment.php';
$msg .= "---------------\n";

Thank you all in advance!
Update: I know the code is pointing to the form correctly because when I fill it out and hit submit I get the error message about one of my required fields not being filled out. However, the fields ARE filled out correctly. Not sure what the problem is.
