Customer registration form won't display in testing environment.

Question

Hi everyone,
I am using DWCS3 with the free version of MAMP.
I have put a customer registration form together and have just started to add the php $mailSent code.
In design view everything seems to be o.k the three gold shields are displayed at the top of my page.
However when I try to view the page in my local testing environment, the page doesn't display at all I just get a white screen. I was also getting an error message suggesting my site url's weren't mapped properly, or, my server wasn't serving pages with a .php extension.
I checked my datetest page and that is displaying today's date, I also checked my phpinfo page and that is also displaying.
I also checked that my site url's are mapped properly, I would say they are because my other site pages e.g. index page, links page, about page ect are opening up in my testing browser.
I have added my code for anyone to take a look at;
the 1st block of code I added at the top of the document before the <!DOCTYPE> (suggested in The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3)
the 2nd block of code is added just after the page's main heading.
the 3rd line of code is added to the form action in the opening form tag.
Could someone please help, as I am stumped.
Thankyou.
<?php
if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) {
//mail processing script
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Customer Registration from HLPhotography';
//process the $_POST variables
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$postcode = $_POST['postcode'];
//build the message
$message = "Name: $name\n\n";
$message .= "Email: $email\n\n";
$message .= "Postcode: $postcode";
//limit line length to 70 characters
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
//send it
$mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message);
?>
   <?php
if ($_POST && !$mailSent) {
?>
    <p class="warning">Sorry there was a problem sending your message, please try later.</p>
    <?php
elseif ($_POST && $mailSent) {
?>
    <p><strong>Your message has been sent thankyou for registering your details.
    </strong></p>
    <?php } ?>
<form id="formcusrg" name="formcusrg" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?">

Sorry, I can't help with your question, I'm not a php guru  :-)   but you may want to edit out that email address if it's a live one - it will get hit by the bots if left here too long !
