Error when sending mail.

[jwk811]

Was trying to send a simple test email to my self.. I used this script...
[code]<?php$to = "(myemail)";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: (myemail)";mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
?>[/code]
And I uploaded it to the server and went to that page.. this was all that was displayed..
[quote]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/j/w/k/jwk811/html/testemail.php on line 1
[/quote]
Does anyone know what this means or what I might of done wrong?

its all scrunched together.
[code]
<?php
$to = "(myemail)";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: (myemail)";
mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
?>
[/code]

Yeah Man No problem You got MSN?

email it to me on my spam email php4skill[at]gmail[dot]com

[jwk811]

ok thanks. and no ive got only AIM. could you tell me how and where to add a redirect or could I just make that page the redirect page instead?

[jwk811]

oh and does these email need to go through a server like the form processors do? cuz i need to know if the delays vary based on how many people try to send an email at once or whatever

[Demonic]

oh im not sure mate. Don't have answer to tht one,but You might want to add a disclaimer saying about how you dont have any responsibility on how many users send an email.

[jwk811]

ok and what would i add to the script to redirect to another page?

[jwk811]

<?php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$info = $_POST["info"];
$to = "(myemail)";
$subject = "Info";
$message = "$name, $info";
$headers = "From: $email" . "\r\n" .
mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
?>

does this look like its set up right because im having just little bit of trouble, if this is right it must be the form

I assume you're wanting to thank the user for sending the email or something like that--that's what I think you meab by 'redirect to another page'.
