<?
/ grabs the POST variables and puts them into variables that we can use /
$firstName=$POST['firstName'];
$phone=$POST['phone'];
$email=$POST['email'];
$comments=$POST['comments'];
$source=$_POST['source'];

//---------VALIDATION-------->
if($firstName){//----> CHECK input
}
else{
$error.="Please, go back and fill input your full name<br>\n";//----> ERROR if no input
}
if($phone){//----> CHECK input
}
else{
$error.="Please, go back and input your home phone number, with area code<br>\n";//----> ERROR if no input
}
if($email){//----> CHECK input
}
else{
$error.="Please, go back and fill in you email address<br>\n";//----> ERROR if no input
}
if($comments){//----> CHECK input
}
else{
$error.="Please, go back and fill out the direct source if N/A, please enter N/A<br>\n";//----> ERROR if no input
}
//-------->ERROR FREE??
if($error==""){
echo "Thank you for inquiring about our FREE ESTIMATE! A receipt of your submission will be e-mailed to you almost immediately.";
//----------------------------------
$mailContent="--------CONTACT--------\n"

Could you edit your post and wrap your code in

 vbcode tags[/url] so that we can read it? (Plus, the color-coding it uses may make it more obvious where the problem is.)

[bradgrafelman]

As NogDog said, using the bbcode tags when posting PHP code makes it much easier to read.

As for your problem, you never close the if($error==""){ block of code.

[Houdini]

Try running this code and note the full <?php and not <? as you used in your example. Please use PHP BB code when entering code in the forums as that alone helps other and possibly you to see where errors in code are.

<?php//Use full tags with your scripts
/* grabs the POST variables and puts them into variables that we can use */
$firstName=trim($_POST['firstName']);//Use the trim function to get rid of whitespace
$phone=trim($_POST['phone']);
$email=trim($_POST['email']);
$comments=trim($_POST['comments']);
$source=trim($_POST['source']);

//---------VALIDATION-------->
if($firstName){//----> CHECK input
}
else{
$error.="Please, go back and fill input your full name<br>\n";//----> ERROR if no input
}
if($phone){//----> CHECK input
}
else{
$error.="Please, go back and input your home phone number, with area code<br>\n";//----> ERROR if no input
}
if($email){//----> CHECK input
}
else{
$error.="Please, go back and fill in you email address<br>\n";//----> ERROR if no input
}
if($comments){//----> CHECK input
}
else{
$error.="Please, go back and fill out the direct source if N/A, please enter N/A<br>\n";//----> ERROR if no input
}
//-------->ERROR FREE??
if($error==""){
echo "Thank you for inquiring about our FREE ESTIMATE! A receipt of your submission will be e-mailed to you almost immediately.";
}
//----------------------------------
$mailContent="--------CONTACT--------\n"
."Full Name: ".$firstName."\n"
."Home Phone: ".$phone."\n"
."E-mail: ".$email."\n"
."Comments: ".$comments."\n";
//----------------------------------
$toAddress="[e-mail]";
$subject="Quick Form Free Estimate";
$recipientSubject="Free Estimate Contact Form";
$receiptMessage = "Thank you ".$firstName." for inquiring about QRG's FREE ESTIMATE!\n\n\nHere is what you submitted to us:\n\n"

mail($toAddress,$recipientSubject,$mailContent,"From:$email");

?>

Actually, I believe the ending '}' brace for the if() statement I mentioned above should go at the end of the code. If there were errors, you wouldn't want to continue with sending the e-mail, would you?
