Me again

[spoonieluv]

Hello everyone,

Thank you for helping me in the pass .

Here is the new problem
I keep geting

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ECHO in C:\

in my sendform

Here is the code

<?php
$LastName = $POST['LastName'];
$FirstName = $POST['FirstName'];
$Year = $POST['Year'];
$Setting = $POST['Setting'];
$Gender = $POST['Gender'];
$Status = $POST['Status'];
$Other = $_POST['Other'];

$formsent = mail('[e-mail]', 'What was the name of that
thriller?', "Request from: $LastName $FirstName\r\nYear:
$Year\r\nSetting(s) : $setting\r\nProtagonist gender: $Gender\r\nBook
status: $Status\r\nOther identifying characteristics: $Other", "From:
$Email\r\nBounce-to: [e-mail]");
if ($formsent) {
echo "<P>Hi, $Firstname. We have recieved your message and will get back to you in 12 hours";
} else (
echo "<P>Hi, $Firstname. Sorry,there is something wrong";

Please explain it to me as if I was a 2 year old I am xtremly new to php , but I have to get this project done before the end of this week, or I'll lose my customer , he wants it done in php instead of ASP.
?>

Thank you
Spoonie Luv

Tell us which line number is giving you the error? (It should have been printed with the Error Line) Plus the number of the lines posted above.
Thank,

right here at your else statement.
You have a paren instead of a brace.

} else (
  echo "<P>Hi, $Firstname. Sorry,there is something wrong";

should be

//change ( to {
} else {
  echo "<P>Hi, $Firstname. Sorry,there is something wrong";

PS. a little tip for all those variables you're creating above.
call import_request_variables("P");
and it will automatically create those variables from the post data.
