This is my first PHP script, so please excuse my clumsiness. I have a HTML page which consists of a form and a PHP page which deals with the variables that are outputted. The HTML page functions as a small box that asks to input an email account/password, and the PHP page simply echoes the results.

My HTML page:

<html>
<form action="emailresults.php" method="post">
        <p>
                Email address:<br />
                <input type="text" name="email" size="20" maxlength="50" value="" />
        </p>
        <p>
                Password:<br />
                <input type="password" name="pswd" size="20" maxlength="15" value="" />
        </p>
        <p>
                <input type="submit" name="subscribe" value="subscribe!" />
        </p>
</form>
</html>

My "emailresults.php":

<?php
      echo "The email you entered is $_POST['email'].";
      echo "The password you entered is $_POST['pswd'].";
?>

When I arrive at my PHP page, I get the error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING" for line 2.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Try making your php page the following:

<?php
echo 'The email you entered is '.$_POST['email'].'.';
echo 'The password you entered is '.$_POST['pswd'].'.';
?>

And other than that your code should be fine unless there is other code in the php file that may be causing the problem.
