Mail Function syntax error

Mar 6th, 2008
I am trying to put a variable in as the value of the mail function on my script. I am relatively new to php and I may be making a simple mistake. Here is the script:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $busmail = $_POST['field_2']
  2.  
  3. mail(" . $busmail . ","Order Confirmation","Your Order Has Been Received And Is Now Being Processed.
  4.  
  5.  
  6. Quantity: " . $_POST['field_3'] . " 
  7. Size: " . $_POST['field_4'] . " 
  8. Special Instructions: " . $_POST['field_5'] . " 
  9.  
  10. Please contact us with any questions or concerns at <A href="mailto:c2c@capturedtocanvas.com" target=_top>c2c@capturedtocanvas.com</A> 
  11. ");

and here is the error I am getting:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /hermes/bosweb/web171/b1716/sl.c2cadmin/C2C/Form/processor.php on line 44

Thanks in advance.

Ok Guys,
This is for you in particular, Ryan. Thanks for the help so far. I feel that this may be the last issue with the script.

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?php
  2.  
  3. $where_form_is="http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].strrev(strstr(strrev($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),"/"));

  6. if($_FILES['field_6']['name']!=''){
  7. $field_6_filename = "file_6_".date("sihdmY").substr($_FILES['field_6']['name'],strlen($_FILES['field_6']['name'])-4);
  8. if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['field_6']['tmp_name'], "./files/".$field_6_filename)){
  9. die("File " .  $_FILES['field_6']['name'] . " was not uploaded.");
  10. }
  11. }
  12.  
  13. include("config.inc.php");
  14. $link = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass);

change the double quote here:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <A href="mailto:c2c@capturedtocanvas.com" target=_top>c2c@capturedtocanvas.com</A>

to single quote:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <A href='mailto:c2c@capturedtocanvas.com' target=_top>c2c@capturedtocanvas.com</A>

or to keep proper html syntax you could do this:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <A href=\"mailto:c2c@capturedtocanvas.com\" target=_top>c2c@capturedtocanvas.com</A>
  2.
