Contact form - unexpected T_ELSE

I get Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/iankovi/public_html/sponsicontact.php on line 38



<?php
$to = 'iankovi.com';
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
$subject = trim($_POST['subject']);
$message = trim($_POST['message']);
$message = wordwrap($message, 85);

if (empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($subject) ||empty($message))
{

if(preg_match("/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$/i", $_POST['email']))
{
echo 'Please enter a valid email address.';

} else {

$send=mail("$to", "$email", "$subject", "message");

if($send)
{
echo 'Your message has been sent successfully! A Sponsi representive will get back to you shortly.';

} else {
echo 'There was an error sending the mail, please go back and try again.';

} else {

}

I have another question what should I add to display $name in form rather then 'Nobody' or 'Unknown.' Maybe something to do with headers?

Thanks!

} else {Two else statements in a row don't make sense. If you mean to close an if-else block before the second one, add another ending curly brace (}).
what should I add to display $name in form rather then 'Nobody' or 'Unknown.' Maybe something to do with headers?I don't understand: where would you like $name to appear? Where will you get $name from if the form hasn't been POSTed yet?

I somewhat fixed it, but it still isn't sending.

Firstly, "iankovi.com" isn't a valid email address.
Secondly, you've encased the variables in single quotes, meaning that they won't be parsed; you're literally trying to send an email to $to.

[ralitza]

Anymore suggestions?

error_reporting(E_STRICT);

$to = 'iankovi@msn.com';
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
$subject = trim($_POST['subject']);
$message = trim($_POST['message']);
$message = wordwrap($message, 85);

if(isset($_POST['send'])) {
if ((empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($subject) ||empty($message)) || (preg_match("/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$/i", $_POST['email']))) {
echo 'Please fill in and verify all fileds';
} else {
if(mail($to , $email, $subject, $message)) {
echo 'Mail sent successfully.';
} else {
echo 'There was an error, please go back and try again';

Thank you for all your help!

You want to negate the return value of that preg_match() call with a NOT operator:
(!preg_match("/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$/i", $_POST['email']))Also, the recommended line length for an email is 65, not 85 as you've used above.

[ralitza]

Thank you, that and getting rid of the caps in the input names fixed the problem.

Edit; For some reason I am still not receving the emails?

[Twey]

Try printing out all the variables before calling mail() to see what they all contain. If they all look right, the only other thing I can think of is that the SMTP server you're using isn't working properly, or possibly that your email account is junking the email. This has been known to happen with MSN/HoTMaiL accounts.
