thank you page problem

[TWO CATS]

my thank you page shows this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/tsghkxhs/public_html/magicpallete/action.php on line 38

I don't know what this means or how to correct it. could someone please check it and help to fix it ?
I have reviewed the forms tutorial many times and can't see where I went wrong
Thanks

Re: thank you page problem

It is because you copied only part of the script:

<?PHP
$mailto = "youremail@yourdomain.com";
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
if ($email == "") {
$email = $mailto;
}
$mailsubj = "Type your mail subject here";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form :\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>


Remember! This is only one part of a 2-part "form build" as described in the Tutorial, so be very attentive to how to complete the task exactly as described!

Re: thank you page problem

Delete the part in red, it is a duplicate of the script, furthermore mistaken

Re: thank you page problem

The code appears correct. It should be placed in the HTML portion of the page and you can put it "Begining of Body " or tag or "Inside body" - eiter will do.

Also remember that it will not work unless published. Since I cannot find your magicpallette.com- I assume that you are published under a .biz or .org?

Re: thank you page problem

Please View the ENTIRE page code and post it here.

Andy, the correct link to the form is http://www.magicpallete.com/contactartist.html

but it doesn't seem a form issue.

Re: thank you page problem

Your problem is here:

<?PHP
$mailto = "colleen@magicpallete.com";
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
if ($email == "") {
$email = $mailto;
}
$mailsubj = "contactartist";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "contactartist submission form"; // Here is the problem

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>

You have forgotten the part in RED
