what error?

i have this code i found

Code:

<?php
  {$name = $_POST['name'];
  $visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];

    $email_from = 'mail@mail.mail';
    $email_subject = "test";
    $email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name.\n".
                            "Here is the message:\n $message".;}
?>

to send a message from contact us page.but when i do this,it comes up with error on line 8-10.i have some basic information on php but can't find the problem.

Have you set up a html form to collect the information for the email?

It will also encounter an error when it gets to 'mail@mail.mail' as that's an invalid email address.

i know its an invalid email because i had my email and i didnt get spammed. then there is a html form

Code:

<form method="post" name="myemailform" action="http://animereject.hostei.com/send.php">
Enter Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
Enter Email Address:    <input type="text" name="email"><br>
Enter Message:  <textarea name="message"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send Form">
</form>

Where are you getting these codes from?

Your error is this bit: "Here is the message:\n $message".

Its just a random string in the middle of the code...
There's also no reason for the PHP to be incased in curly brackets.

i gt rid of the line but still error.guess ill jsut put this to the side for now since i have another css problem

Well what does the error say..?

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/a2195800/public_html/send.php on line 8"

I'm going to guess a bit and say it has something to do with the full stop and semi-colon on this line:

Code:


$email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name.\n".
                            "Here is the message:\n $message".;}


That is also an error... but there's load of errors in it...

Swap it all for this:

Code:


<?php
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];

    $email_from = 'mail@mail.mail';
    $email_subject = "test";
    $email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name. \nHere is the message:\n $message. ";
?>


Your biggest issue was having that random string flailing about. Also, when you use '\n' for a new line, you don't actually need to put a new line within your string... unless you get two new lines.

One of biggest benefits of PHP strings is you don't have to specify new lines with the \n meta character.
