[SOLVED] Help please

[huckfinne]

<?php

$from = '[email protected]';

$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$text = $_POST['elvismail'];

$dbc = mysql_connect('localhost:8888', 'playPHP', '') or die('Error connecting to MySQL server.');

mysql_select_db("elvis_store", $dbc);

$query = "SELECT * FROM email_list";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error querying database.');

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
	$first_name = $row['first_name'];
	$last_name = $row['last_name'];

	$message = "Dear $first_name $last_name,\n $text.";

	$to = $row['email'];

	mail($to, $subject, $message, 'From:' $from);

	echo 'Email sent to:' $to '<br />';

}

mysql_close($dbc);

?>

 

When I run the above program I get "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/sendmail.php on line 23."  I've isolated it to the last two lines in the loop, but cannot for the life of me figure out what the issue is.  Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.  Thanks.

echo 'Email sent to:' . $to . '<br />';

 

You were missing the concatenation operator (if that is the correct term) Note the periods.

You can do this too.

      echo 'Email sent to:', $to, '<br />';

Thanks for the quick response, but no joy on either of those options.  I tried them both with no change in the error message.  Any more thoughts?

Missed this one as well:

 

mail($to, $subject, $message, 'From:' . $from);

 

Same error, you missed the concatenation period.

Beautiful.  Thanks for the help.
