I am novice. I am trying to create one email form. But i am getting "Parse error: parse error in F:\test\wamp\www\sendmail.php on line 43"

Code: Select all

<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
     
    // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
    $email_to = "shariefbe@gmail.com";
    $email_subject = "Inquiry from you']";
     
     
    function died($error) {
        // your error code can go here
        echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
        echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
        echo $error."<br /><br />";
        echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
        die();
    }
     
    // validation expected data exists
    if(!isset($_POST['name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['company']) ||
        !isset($_POST['email']) ||
        !isset($_POST['contact']) ||
        !isset($_POST['address']) ||
		 !isset($_POST['description'])) {
        died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');      
    }
	    
	$name = $_POST['name']; // required
    $company = $_POST['copany']; // required
    $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
    $contact = $_POST['contact']; // not required
    $comments = $_POST['description']; // required
     
    $error_message = "";
    $email_exp = "^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$";
	
	
	// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); 
?>
last line is 43.......i mean "?>"

Hi,
You doesnt close the braces '}' of your first if condition.

Thank you.

I missed '}". Now it is not showing error and its working fine.
But Now i have another problem. I am unable to send mail from localhost.
I think i have to configure SMTP server. But i dont know how to configure SMTP. i googled for that but its confusing to me.
Can anyone help me out. I want to send from my gmail account.
Thanks in advance...

WAMP doesn't include a email server so you would be unable to send emails via localhost as for via gmail possibly look at the following http://deepakssn.blogspot.com/2006/06/g ... -with.html
