Mailing form results in PHP

[Anon]

Hi,

I have a small enquiry form on my website where users can answer some questions.

On the last page (results.php) I let the user see the answers he submitted by using the option

(example)
if($something==a value)
echo bla bla bla

I made a "Mail me the answers" link under this text. After clicking on it a pop-up window opens (popup name is mail.php)

I would like to see a mail form appear where the answers of the users are already 'printed' in the bodytext, subject is the 'site_title' and he only has to fill in his e-mail address so send the mail (using formmail.pl).

However I get several errors while mail.php is opened:
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1

Parse error: parse error, expecting ','' or';''

---

This is the code line for the "Mail me the answers" link (on page results.php):
<a href="javascript:my_win1()" name="final" value="email">Mail me the answers</a>

---

Please see part of the script of mail.php below

<?
if ($final=="email") {
echo '<form action="usr/formmail.pl">'\n;

Email address: <input type="text" name="email" value="you@your_isp.com" size=30><br>\n;
Subject: <input type="text" name="T1" size="20" value='$site_title'> <br><br>\n;
<textarea cols=50 rows=10 wrap="virtual" name="message"></textarea> <br><br>\n;
<input type="submit" value="Submit">\n;
</form>';
}

?>

I hope anyone can see where I made the error in the script above. I also wonder why I use formmail.pl to send the mail !!????

you can echo this way:

echo "first line\n";
echo "second line\n";
echo "third line\n";
or like this:

echo "first line\n
second line\n
third line\n";

any " within the echo must be converted into \" else it would end the echo. this code below should work:

<?
if ($final=="email") {
echo "<form action=\"usr/formmail.pl\">\n
Email address: <input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" value=\"you@your_isp.com\" size=30><br>\n
Subject: <input type=\"text\" name=\"T1\" size=\"20\" value='$site_title'> <br><br>\n
<textarea cols=50 rows=10 wrap=\"virtual\" name=\"message\"></textarea> <br><br>\n
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">\n
</form>";
}

?>

PS: if you get a ";" error on line (eg) 42, that mostly means that the error is located right above...
