Hello, I am really quite stuck with some code I wrote, This is my page www.bryansmusicbox.co.uk - I have saved the main page as index.php, If you enter data into the form, and click send, you get error 500. This is the code from index.php

<h1><strong>Welcome </strong>to Bryans music box </h1>

<h2>A varied vocalist</h2>

<p class="tagline"> I sing a variety of songs which are from every decade from the fifties to present day.

Song information can be seen on the list of songs I have compiled. Every generation seems

to prefer songs which were popular for their day - songs which they are familiar with,

songs that they can sing along to, and songs that uplift, inspire and hopefully bring back happy memories. </p>

<h2>Retirement Homes</h2>

<p class="tagline"> An example of this is when entertaining in a retirement home

I sing songs by crooners such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin,

Matt Monro, Engelbert Humperdinck, Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett,

Andy Williams and many more who were popular during the 40s, 50s and 60s.

I provide all the equipment needed for each performance and use professionally

high standard backing tracks. I have a wide range of vocal capabilities allowing me

to sing and imitate a variety of singers. </p>

<h2>Occasions</h2>

<p class="tagline"> I am often requested to sing at ‘milestone’ birthdays

(eg 80, 90, 100 year olds and older in some cases!) in care homes.

If you are looking for a warm, friendly singer with a diverse singing talent

to entertain your residents, look no further.

Thank you for reading this letter and for your consideration,</p>

and here is my php script (which is where the problem lies...?)

<?php

$to = "[email protected]";

$subject = "Contact Us";

$questName = $_REQUEST['questName'] ;

$questEmail = $_REQUEST['questEmail'] ;

$question2 = $_REQUEST['question2'] ;

$body = array();

$body[] = 'QuestName: ' . $_POST['questName'];

$body[] = 'QuestEmail: ' . $_POST['questEmail'];

$body[] = 'Question2: ' . $_POST['question2'];

$headers = "From: Bryan Flood <[email protected]>";

$sent = mail($to, $subject, implode("\n",$body), $headers) ;

if($sent)

{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }

else

{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }

$fields = array();

$fields["questName"] = "questName";

$fields["questEmail"] = "questEmail";

$fields]"question2"] = "question2";

?>

I have the php script saved onto the server as contact.php

I hope one of you can help me, i will be VERY grateful, i cant begin to tell you how much i want this to work

thanks in advance

The next time you post code, please put it between

tags like this:

<?php
$to = "[email protected]"; 
$subject = "Contact Us"; 
$questName = $_REQUEST['questName'] ; 
$questEmail = $_REQUEST['questEmail'] ; 
$question2 = $_REQUEST['question2'] ;
$body = array();
$body[] = 'QuestName: ' . $_POST['questName'];
$body[] = 'QuestEmail: ' . $_POST['questEmail'];
$body[] = 'Question2: ' . $_POST['question2'];
$headers = "From: Bryan Flood <[email protected]>";

$sent = mail($to, $subject, implode("\n",$body), $headers) ; 
if($sent) 
{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }
else 
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }

$fields = array(); 
$fields["questName"] = "questName"; 
$fields["questEmail"] = "questEmail"; 
$fields]"question2"] = "question2";  
?>

See how much easier it is to read.

If this is your code, you have a syntax error on the last line. The first "]" should be "[".
