[Resolved] parse error, unexpected $

[iagal]

I'm sorry, I'm very new at all of this and our IT department upstairs is next to null on help. Can anyone help me spot the parse error problem? Thank you so much in advance.

<?

if ($submit) {
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Seedling Catalog Order Form";
$header = "From: $name";
$msg = "$address\n";
$msg .= "$city\n";
$msg .= "$state\n";
$msg .= "$zip\n";
$msg .= "$phone\n\n";
mail ($to, $subject, $msg, $header);

echo "Thank you. Your request has been sent.";
} //end if

else {

?>

Do a stripslashes on your msg

@mail($to, $subject, stripslashes($msg), $header);

replaced, continue to get:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /usr/docroot.dnr.iowa.gov/forestry/orderform_post.html on line 22

....thanks.....

It's because you have this rogue else on line 19...

else {

You need to close out the else with the }...

(Or remove it altogether if you aren't planning to have an else sequence.)

blushes, hides her eyes and races out

Embarassing. Thank you so much for the help, it is so greatly appreciated.

Don't race out too fast... and don't be embarrassed. We all do it... Be sure to mark the thread resolved, and have a nice day. 🙂
