can anyone help me since I can not find where the error is thanks.
this is part of a script that emails form contents to an email address

It might be helpful to have some of the code around that, particularly the bit relating to the 'do' statement.

Although that statement looks a bit odd in itself, but it hurts my eyes.

here is the whole script
<?php
$to="****@****.com";

$from = $_POST['email'];

$firstname = $_POST['fname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lname'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$city = $_POST['city'];

$evephone = $_POST['evephone'];
$occasion = $_POST['occasion'];

any help thanks

The whole string looks messy to me, it is missing alot of things and things look like they are in the wrong order. Try what I have done below.

if I replace by $body code with yours I get this
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/jautismn/public_html/spinmaster/processorder.php on line 46
message ???

What is on line 46 of processorder.php ??

."State: $state<br>"

Hmm, I've looked at the entire script using your original and then replacing the string with mine, but nothing seems to be wrong.

I'm thinking you might have copied the first post I posted, because I left out a few "s. Try copying it again

That worked thanks for all your help!!

No problems :)

one fast question the <br> tag does not work it just shows up in the email as <br> anyway to make that tag work??

thanks

That's probably because your email client doesn't accept HTML. Let me quickly re-do the string and it should work properly

no it does cause I use outlook and I always get html emails (i.e.spam)

Ok, well the email message is in text format, not HTML

Replace with:$body = "Spinmaster Entertainment Order Form\n"
."PERSONAL INFORMATION\n"
."Firstname: $firstname\n"
."Lastname: $lastname\n"
."Address: $address\n"
."City: $city\n"
."State: $state\n"

."Evening Phone: $evephone\n"
."Email Address: $email\n"
."PARTY INFORMATION\n"
."Type of occasion: $Occasion\n"
."Event Date: $eventdate\n"
."Rain Date: $raindate\n"
."Time event starts: $eventstarttime\n"
."End Time: $eventendtime\n"
."Will their be a cocktail hour: $cocktailhour\n"
."Recipients name: $Recipientname\n"
."Will their be adults only: $adultsonly\n"
."How many adults do you expect: $numberofadults\n"
."Is this a childrens party: $kidsparty\n"

."Attire: $attire\n"
."I need the above service for: $hours hours\n"
."Special requests: $specialrequests\n"
."PARTY LOCATION INFORMATION\n"
."$message";
Give that a shot

Also, if you want to send the email in HTML format, try this:

Replace whole script:<?php

$from = $_POST['email'];

$firstname = $_POST['fname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lname'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$dphone = $_POST['dphone'];
$evephone = $_POST['evephone'];
$occasion = $_POST['occasion'];
$eventdate = $_POST['eventdate'];
$raindate = $_POST['raindate'];
$eventstarttime = $_POST['eventstarttime'];
$eventendtime = $_POST['eventendtime'];
$cocktailhour = $_POST['cocktailhour'];
$Recipientname = $_POST['Recipientname'];
$adultsonly = $_POST['adultsonly'];
$numberofadults = $_POST['numberofadults'];
$kidsparty = $_POST['kidsparty'];
$numberofkids = $_POST['numberofkids'];
$mixedguests = $_POST['mixedguests'];
$amountofkids = $_POST['amountofkids'];
$amountofadults = $_POST['amountofadults'];
$giveaways = $_POST['giveaways'];
$basiclighting = $_POST['basiclighting'];
$fogmachine = $_POST['fogmachine'];
$seeking = $_POST['seeking'];
$seeking2 = $_POST['seeking2'];
$attire = $_POST['attire'];
$hours = $_POST['hours'];
$specialrequests = $_POST['specialrequests'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$subject = "NewClientInfo";

$body = "Spinmaster Entertainment Order Form\n"

Make sure to edit the 'YOUREMAILHERE@DOMAIN.COM' part

thanks thats all I needed and its working grath thanks for your time!

Okies, no problem

If you want to put HTML in the email you need to add

Content-Type: text/html

to the email headers. Technically you really ought to put

Content-Type: text/plain

in a plain message!

I don't think you need the MIME-Version header just to change to HTML but you do need it to do anything complicated like attachments or multi-part messages. (mind you I tend to only deal with the complicated email structures these days :) )

I would clean up your POST variables first if I was you, especially if you're sending HTML emails as a user could easily inject a security exploit in there.
