Thread: Error after publishing index.php

Hello,

I have published my index page (www.slankadvies.com). On my index page is a contact form where readers can sign in on a newsletter. I want the mails to be delivered to my home email account. Everything seemed to be fine in the preview, but the form doesn’t send out the mail.
After reading the threads in the Form Forum, I did the following after seeing the two tutorials

Form name: contactform
Action: index.php
Method: POST
Encoding Type: multipart / form data
I named the fields name and email and submit
I saved and published the page as index.php in the page properties

I did include the following script in the inside body tag?

<?PHP
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "van.hoof.paul@telenet.be";
$mailsubj = "Nieuwsbrieven";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form :\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>

I receive to following message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

Questions:
What did I do wrong?
How can I fix this so the mail will be send to me?

Thanks for your help

There is an error because the submit button is outside the form.

1-Delete the submit button.
2-Stretch form to cover submit button.
3- Put submit button back on form

Save and publish.

However this is a form error, probably created in a second time. If yu received the purse error message, it means that somehow the form worked initially. Correct the form problem as Andy suggested, and we will have a look.

I did deleted the submit button and replaced it.
The page is saved and published.
I hope is does work now.
Thanks for your help.

Going to the source code- the submit button is still not on the form.

On the form properties- put the back ground color to grey- this will help you see its edges. Delete the submit button again. Now stretch the form down a little. Place the submit button on the form. Now change the background of the form back to white- it's original color.

Save and publish.

I did see the problem now and changed the submit button.
I tried to send out a mail to myself, but didn't receive it in my mailbox.
I did set my email account in Outlook.
What could be wrong?
