[RESOLVED] syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

[Bete]

Sorry - new to PHP, but I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. I'm receiving a syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on the following line:

mail($my_email,$subject,$message,$headers);

I'm fairly certain it has something to do with the $my_email variable, defined as:

$my_email = $_REQUEST['recipient']

In the form I've defined this variable as follows:

<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="[e-mail]" />

The form is posted on a page in Joomla on GoDaddy.com. I've turned off the e-mail cloaking.

I'm also attaching the entire php file - I downloaded the original from FormtoEmail.com.

Any ideas? I've tried enclosing it in parens $my_email = ($_REQUEST['recipient']) but the same error occurs.

Sorry - I know it's probably something easy but I'm not seeing it.

Thanks!

You left out the terminal semi-colon on the preceding line.

PS: It would be more efficient for all concerned if you simply cut and pasted the section of code with the error directly in your post within the forum's [noparse]

...

[/noparse] bbcode tags.

PPS: Welcome to the forums. 🙂

Thanks - sorry, I knew it was probably something simple.

And I'll post the code correctly next time.
