Your code would be like this after implementing it


<form id="ff" method="post" action="<?php get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/wp-content/themes/Mag/scripts/insert.php">
<div>
<label> <span>Name*:</span>
<input type="text" placeholder="Please enter your name" name="name" id="name" required />
</label>
</div>
<div>
<label> <span>Phone:</span>
<input type="text" placeholder="Please enter your phone" name="phone" id="phone" />
</label>
</div>
<div>
<label> <span>Email*:</span>
<input type="text" placeholder="[email protected]" name="email" id="email" required />
</label>
</div>
<div>
<label> <span>Message*:</span>
<textarea rows="3" cols="1" placeholder="Message" name="message" id="message" required ></textarea>
</label>
</div>
<input id="this_title" type="text" name="this_title" value="" />
<input class="sendButton" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send" />
</form>
<style>
#this_title
{
display:none;
}
</style>

And

<?php
$this_form_spam = $_POST['this_title'];

if ($this_form_spam == "")
{
// Get values from form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$phone=$_POST['phone'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$message=$_POST['message'];

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Potential Client Lead";
$message = " Name: " . $name . "\r\n Phone: " . $phone . "\r\n Email: " . $email . "\r\n Message: " . $message;


$from = "FirmFlip";
$headers = "From:" . $from . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

if(@mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers))
{
print "<script>document.location.href='/thanks/';</script>";

}else{
echo "Error! Please try again.";
}
}
else
{
// mock and laugh in the face of spam
}

?>

Hope it helps you.
