Contact Form Issue

Xcynic

Hello. I'm pretty new to PHP, just started looking into it today actually and I came across this php form that I would like to use however modified.

What I'm trying to do is to only have 1 inputform where you can write your email or phonenumber.

I took a php form from the net and started modifying it but I honestly have no clue what I'm doing.

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

// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = "email";
$email_subject = "Subject";

$contact_me = $_POST['contactme']; // required

$email_exp = '/^[A-Öa-ö0-9._%-]+@[A-Öa-ö0-9.-]+\.[A-Öa-ö]{2,4}$/';
  if(!preg_match($email_exp,$contact_me)) {
    $error_message .= MSG<br />';
  }

if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
  }
    $email_message = "MSG.\n\n";

function clean_string($string) {
  $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
  return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}

$email_message .= "MSG".clean_string($contact_me)."\n";



// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); 
?>

Thats the form that I'm working on.

The problem at first was that nothing happened, it redirected me to a blankpage and nothing was sent.

Now it says:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/eggnrice/public_html/x-productions.com/site/scripts/homecontact.php on line 34

Could anyone please help me with this contact form? I believe there are more than 1 error in it.

Thanks!

The easiest way to go from belief to certainty is to fix the first error and then find out by letting the PHP parser tell you.

The easiest way to find the current error is to use proper tools. If you do not have an editor with syntax highliting (text colouring), get one. If you have not allready realized it, strings are colored red in php code on this forum. Have a look above and find the place where you have something which is NOT supposed to be a string, yet is colored red. Then fix your code so that which should not be a string, but is, is treated as what it should be.

I figured out the issue before this thread was approved. So this is now solved. Thanks for your tip though!

I currently use notepad++ for php and some other languages and I find it great but since I'm just starting everything is not clear. But as they say: "Practice makes perfect".

Thank you!
