I am having Trouble with something similar.

I am trying to create a php script for an online form, and the following appears:

My code is the one below, can someone tell me whats wrong with it?

<?php

/* Subject and Email Variables */

$emailSubject = 'September 19th registration!';
$webMaster = 'cesct@ntplx.net';

/* Gathering Data Variables */
$emailFiled = $_POST('email');
$nameField = $_POST('name');
$phoneField = $_POST('phone');
$addressField = $_POST('address');
$hearField = $_POST('hear');
$travelersField = $_POST('travelers');
$commentsField = $_POST('comments');


$body = <<< EOD

EOD;

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

/* Results rendered as HTML */

$theResults = <<< EOD
