I'm trying to run a script that I found on this site (the two files from the tutorial "Parsing Forms With PHP and Sending E-Mail"). The form and script work properly, for the most part (and the email function in the script does send an email). The problem I'm experiencing is that all of the variables in the PHP script seem to be empty. In other words, the values entered into the form don't seem to be making it to the PHP script (the reason I'm saying this is that the output from the script prints nothing for the occurrences of variable such as $name, $status, and $email).
The files are reproduced; they're also hosted at http://myweb.usf.edu/~cspears/form.htm in case anyone would like to see them in action.
Thank you in advance for any hints or pointers!

This is the form file (form.htm):
