Those input elements lack the name="..." attribute. By HTML specs, only 
controls that have the name attribute can be "successful", i.e. 
contribute to the form data set. So change e.g.
<input id="name" size="10">
to
<input id="name" name="name" size="10">

Many people have misunderstood statements about the name attribute being 
deprecated. In HTML 4, it is deprecated for img and form elements. But 
not for controls like input, where it constitutes an essential part of 
functionality.
