I have created simplest of web forms.
purpose- visitors will enter their name and email address and comment and hit send, I will receive that comment in my email inbox and visitor will see a conformation page.
result- I receive an email everytime, but it doesn't show visitor's email address, name or the comment that they enter.
I assigned a veriable for each of them and set up $msg to show all these. The mail comes from some undefined@gator1064.hostgator.com and I found an error message that says something like: "[15-Apr-2011 02:29:33] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in... (bla bla bla)... on line 13". Line 13 is the mail() command so the problem probably is with $msg, which is the line before.
There is no sign of any confirmation page either.
My research shows that the problem is I am missing a (") or "}" or something similar. My php is not finding it, instead seeing the end of php (?>). Triple checked but can't see anything missing.
I have added the contact.php and html form page below.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks for taking a look guys.
Html Form-
<form action="contact.php" method="post" id="contactform">
<ol>
<li><label for="firstname">Name</label><br/>
<input name="firstname" type="text" /></li><br/>
<li><label for="email">Email</label><br/>
<input name="email" type="text" /></li><br/>
<li><label for="comment">Comment</label><br/>
<textarea row="6" cols="50" name="comment"></textarea></li><br/>
<input value="send" type="submit" />
</ol>
</form>
PHP script-
<html>
<head>
<title>this was a try</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$name = $_POST['firstname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$to = 'myemail@yahoo.com';
$subject = 'test';
$msg = "$name sent you a message from $email and said $comment";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, 'From:' . $email);
echo 'Thanks for you comment.<br/>';
echo 'Your message has been sent from' . $email . '<br/>';
echo 'We will get back to you with in 48 hours or less.';
?>
</body>
</html>
***end of codes***
The only difference is that I replaced "myemail@yahoo.com" with a real email adress

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED
I have uploaded pictures of how it looks in Firefox and IE. In IE I want it to look the same as Firefox.
This is how it looks in Firefox -
This is how it looks in Internet Explorer -
FYI, the previous image was not white. It was blue and I am changing it to red. I created my image in Photoshop.
I tried to find possible solutions through Google and got a couple, none of them works for me. First one was image type. In my case image type was .jpg . New image is also .jpg .
Second option was this code in stylesheet- .blok_header { margin:0; padding:0; background: url(images/redback.jpg) top center repeat-x;} . The advice was to leave a space between ")" and "top center". It has been like that throughout. So nothing to change there.
Third tip I got when someone suggested that I put ("") mark around my url like this- .blok_header { margin:0; padding:0; background: url("images/redback.jpg") top center repeat-x;} . I tried that as well but no luck. Nothing changed.
I have already spent so much time on this that I am getting really frustrated now. If anyone kindly give me some pointers what can possibly be wrong, I would appreciate it a lot.
If I left out any critical information, just ask. I really need to find an answer.
Many thanks for taking a look at my post. Hope you guys can help me out with this.
Thanks
