Hi I'm trying to set up my first contact form, but I keep getting this error message:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home/remem539/public_html/php/testform.php on line 85

 

here's my code, what am I doing wrong?

 

<?php

if ($_POST['parse_var'] == "testform"){
 
$emailtitle = 'New E-mail';
$youremail = 'junk@remembertheprojector.com';
 
$namefield = $_POST['name'];
$emailfield = $_POST['email'];
$messagefield = $_POST['message'];
 
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name: $namefield <br />
Email: $emailfield <br />
Message: $messagefield <br />
EOD;
 
$headers = "From: $emailfield\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail("$youremail", "$emailtitle", "$body", "$headers");
 
$sent = "Thank you!";
}
 
?>

Is there any space before the closing identifier in your HEREDOC statement?

$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name: $namefield <br />
Email: $emailfield <br />
Message: $messagefield <br />
EOD;
 
It's a little difficult to tell since this forum tends to strip out tabs. More information about HEREDOC can be found in the manual (note the warning in the pink box):
