<label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name"> <label for="email" id="email" name="email"> </label> <input type="email" id="email" name="user_email"> <label for="comment">Comment:</label> <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea> <button type="submit">Submit Comment</button> </form>
