Having trouble sending HTML form to email through PhP

Question

I have created a form and would like the information to be sent to my email using php. The information submits, and I receive an e-mail, but the email only displays the first and last name of input by the individual submitting the form. I would like to know what is missing from either the php side or html side.

Thank You

Actually there is no message variable to send!! you are just sending $first_name and $last_name as headers!
