PHP Code Error

[mrcodes]

Hey guys, I started learning php and creating an email form. But I keep getting an error on my “if ((mail)” statement. What am I doing wrong? And are there any other errors I’m not seeing?

Thanks.

<?php


    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $tel = $_POST['tel'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];
    $from = 'From: User'; 
    $to = '[email protected]'; 
    $subject = 'Hello';
    $human = $_POST['human'];



    $body = 
    "From: $name\n 
    E-Mail: $email\n 
    Message:\n $message
    Retired: $retired\n
    Veteran: $vet \n
    Family: $family \n
    dd: $dd \n
    "
    ;


    if ($_POST['submit'] 

    {
    if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $from, $tel)) 

    {
    echo '<p>Your message has been sent!</p>';
    } 

    else { 
        echo '<p>Something went wrong, go back and try again!</p>'; 
    } 



?>

People will be able to give you better help if you provide error PHP is giving you. It looks like you are missing a closing bracket } for your first if statement.

Also, missing a closing ) around if($_POST["submit"])

Also, what are you trying to do with if($_POST["submit"]). Seems like your trying to check if the submit button is clicked? For that, you would want to use the isset() function.

Hello drose379,

Thanks a lot. I literally starting learning php last week. I added the changes, but I am still getting errors. The closing bracket on if “(mail())” and “else {” says “syntax error”. That’s it.

  if ($_POST['submit'])

    {
    if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $from, $tel)) 
    }


    {
    echo '<p>Your message has been sent!</p>';
    } 

    else { 
        echo '<p>Something went wrong, go back and try again!</p>'; 
    }

Sure, you are getting this error because your code has syntax issues. Heres what it should look like

if ($_POST["submit"]) {
   if (mail($x,$y,$z,$foo,$bar)) {
      echo "Your message was sent";
   }
} else {
   echo "Something went wrong";
}
