HELP!!! new to PHP - first timer - PARSE ERROR unexpected '@' ...

[spicey]

This is my first time using PHP and when I test the form online, I get the following error.  Any suggestions?

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '@' in /mnt/w0106/d00/s28/b02d7599/

 

This is my simple code:

 

?php

  $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;

  $organization = $_REQUEST['organization'] ;

  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

  $telephone = $_REQUEST['telephone'] ;

  $date_required = $_REQUEST['date_required'] ;

  $checkbox_adult = $_REQUEST['checkbox_adult'] ;

  $adults = $_REQUEST['adults'] ;

  $checkbox_children = $_REQUEST['checkbox_children'] ;

  $children = $_REQUEST['children'] ;

  $leaving_from = $_REQUEST['leaving_from'] ;

  $destination = $_REQUEST['destination'] ;

  $return_to = $_REQUEST['return_to'] ;

  $time_departure = $_REQUEST['time_departure'] ;

  $time_return = $_REQUEST['time_return'] ;

  $additional_info = $_REQUEST['additional_info'] ;

  $checkbox_email = $_REQUEST['checkbox_email'] ;

  $checkbox_telephone = $_REQUEST['checkbox_telephone'] ;

 

  mailto ([email protected], "Quote Request",

    $message, "From: $email" );

  header ( "Location: http://www.website.ca/thankyou.html");

  php?>

try quoting the email address:

 

mailto ("[email protected]", "Quote Request",

    $message, "From: $email" );

I tried what you suggested, now I get this error. Any suggestions?

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mailto()

 

[kenrbnsn]

The function is "mail", not "mailto".

Thanks for the help!  Now my error has moved to the "header" line - last one...to read this:

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ....

 

I've deleted any extra lines just in case the spaces was the issue - but I still get this warning error.

 

Any other suggestions?  You guys are fantastic in responding!!!!!

You cut out the important part of the error line... we can't really help with specifics without it

 

Make sure there's no output to the browser ANYWHERE above the header line. Also: it's ?> not php?>

I take it you're new, and that's fine and all (we all were once), but I see tons of threads where the error message said either "unexpected symbol" and it gives the symbol, and all it took was looking at the code for that symbol and seeing the error easily. Or it'd say "error on line 41" and there'd be a majorly obvious messup. All I'm saying is that problem solving is always trial and error with php and I'd high recommend trying to fix the problem by yourself(spend a good bit of time) before making a thread about it.
