syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /Volumes/Data/www/Intrepid/TonySweet/website/mailer2.php on line 39

I take it this has something to do with { and }...

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "[e-mail]"; 
$subject = "Registration Form";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$phone_field = $_POST['phone'];
$cell_field = $_POST['cell'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$website_field= $_POST['website'];
$address_field = $_POST['address'];
$city_state_zip_field = $_POST['city_state_zip'];
$multiple = $_POST['multiple[]'];
$dropdown = $_POST['drop_down'];
$dropdown2 = $_POST['drop_down2'];
$referred_field = $_POST['referred'];
$emer_contact_field = $_POST['emer_contact'];
$relation_field = $_POST['relation'];
$emer_home_field = $_POST['emer_home'];
$emer_cell_field = $_POST['emer_cell'];
$equipment_field = $_POST['equipment'];
$cc_name_field = $_POST['ccname'];
$date_field = $_POST['date'];
$option = $_POST['radio'];

 foreach($_POST['multiple'] as $value) 
	$key .= "$value\n";
}

You are right. Here is a properly indented version of your code snippet:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Registration Form";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$phone_field = $_POST['phone'];
$cell_field = $_POST['cell'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$website_field= $_POST['website'];
$address_field = $_POST['address'];
$city_state_zip_field = $_POST['city_state_zip'];
$multiple = $_POST['multiple[]'];
$dropdown = $_POST['drop_down'];
$dropdown2 = $_POST['drop_down2'];
$referred_field = $_POST['referred'];
$emer_contact_field = $_POST['emer_contact'];
$relation_field = $_POST['relation'];
$emer_home_field = $_POST['emer_home'];
$emer_cell_field = $_POST['emer_cell'];
$equipment_field = $_POST['equipment'];
$cc_name_field = $_POST['ccname'];
$date_field = $_POST['date'];
$option = $_POST['radio'];
$option2 = $_POST['radio2'];
$message_field = $_POST['message'];

foreach($_POST['multiple'] as $value)
    $key .= "$value\n";
}

$body = "Name: $name_field\n Home Phone: $phone_field\n Cell Phone: $cell_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Website: $website_field\n Address: $address_field\n City,State,Zip: $city_state_zip_field\n Workshop: $key Photography Level: $dropdown\n Photography Interest: $dropdown2\n Referral: $referred_field\n Emergency Contact: $emer_contact_field\n Relation: $relation_field\n Home: $emer_home_field\n Cell: $emer_cell_field\n Equipment: $equipment_field\n Agreed: $cc_name_field\n Date: $date_field\n Option: $option\n Method: $option2\n Message:\n $message_field\n";

{
    echo "Your registration has been submitted to $to! You will receive an email confirmation shortly.";
}

mail($to, $subject, $body);

{
    else
        echo "Data was not sent!";
}
?>

It is clear that the else is out of place.

Thanks. I tried the corrected code, but I'm getting the same error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /Volumes/Data/www/Intrepid/TonySweet/website/mailer2.php on line 41

I'm very new to this, and I can't seem to figure it out no matter what I change.

I tried the corrected code, but I'm getting the same error:

I did not correct your code. Rather, I indented it to make the mistake more obvious. You probably want to do something like this:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    // ...

if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
    echo "Your registration has been submitted to $to! You will receive an email confirmation shortly.";
} else {
    echo "Data was not sent!";
}
}

Aha! One step closer to a functioning online registration process. I honestly have only the faintest clue of how what I'm working on actually works as far as the PHP. This is my first experience with it.

Thank you for your help and patience!
