nothing more, also I forgot to close the form tag in the html file. All the submit button needs is two attributes (more if using javascripts or DHTML scripting) the type (submit) and the value (Click here to Send!). After the submit button, if you do not have any other for items, you should close the form tag by adding </form> at the end. I forgot to do so in the example above, due to the fact that I just typed that up.
I'm a bit confused sorry... So the two pieces of code you showed me do they go into the same file? Once the user clicks submit on the form how does it know what to do?Quote:

I got this error when I clicked Submit
HTML Code:Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_SL in e:\USERS\freewheelin\www\content\contact.php on line 27
I would just recommend using this: http://www.eformmailer.com/ . its a free wizard that makes a PHP form for you.
I still get errors using the free wizard... and also it redirects to a plain page...Quote:

Thanks!
Your mail has been sent.

Could you take a look at the file? It's wierd I just used your two files, without changing a thing and no luck... You can test it here http://www.tomsynnott.com/email_form/contact.htm
link broken 404 error (cannot find page)
UPDATE: works now, and I checked it, now it says unexpected T_STRING on line 17... line 17 is the variable $msg.....check to make sure the last line before this one is ended by a semicolon (;) also, as i said before I used it on my home server once again and still cannot reproduce the error message.
Another UPDATE: i reproduced the error, make sure the the $msg variable is a line or two below the last $_REQUEST[field]; or delete the comment behind that one. That was the only thing that I could see
