I'm trying to get this PHP mail form to work correctly and I keep getting an error:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRINGfrom this line

}
}

else {
header("Location: http://www.site.edu/mail-form/error.html?error=data");
exit("error");
}
//$missing = "";
//initialize found value
$foundblank = 0;
foreach ($formdata as $key => $value) {
//check to see if there are excludes
if (!isset($_POST["formproc"]["exclude"])) {
//no excludes
if ($value == "") {
//field not filled in
//update foundblank
$foundblank = 1;
//add to list
$missing .= $key . ", ";
}
}
else {

}
}
//no else needed - if its excluded don't check it
}
}
if ($foundblank==1) {
//remove the last two characters since ther're a comma and space

?>I'm pretty new with PHP, i did a google search but didn't really find anything related. This form was working fine, but my boss wants it to submit the form to an email address with HTMl instead of plain text, to make it pretty. I add this line
$message = '<html><head></head><body>$formresults</body></html>'and changed the '$formresults' variable in the line mentioned in the error to '$message'. Any and all help is much appreciated!!!! Thank you!
