 <?
  $nameone = $_REQUEST['nameone'];
  $phone_no = $_REQUEST['phone_no'];
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'];
  $code = $_REQUEST['code'];
  $text1 = $_REQUEST['text1'];

$send_email = "Name {$nameone} <br> Phone number {$phone_no} <br> email {$email} <br> code {$code} <br> text1 {$text1};
mail( '[redacted]', 'Feedback Form Results"', $send_email);

?>

 

 

the part i 4got was here

 

$send_email = "Name {$nameone} <br> Phone number {$phone_no} <br> email {$email} <br> code {$code} <br> text1 {$text1};

 

i did not put the " at the end of  {test1}

When accepting incoming variables from web users you have to be as secure as possible. The first place you start is at the point of entry. If you're using a post method for incoming variables make sure you are accepting those variables using the $_POST[''] superglobal $_REQUEST can allow possible hack attempts. I could get more detailed with this but it's late.
