Also e-mail related

I am designing a website for a Counter-Strike clan, and I have made a page for applying. I am trying to get the form on this page to be emailed to the clan leader for review. Here is what I have.

On the apply page-

<form id="application" action="scripts/mail_to.php" method="post" name="application">
<input type="hidden" name="subject_line" value="iTeam Application">


And this is scripts/mail_to.php -

<?php

$to = "someone@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Application";
$message = "<?php echo $_POST["application"]; ?>";
mail($to,$subject,$message);
echo "../thankyou.php";

?>


This is what I get -

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/"directory" on line 5

Re: Also e-mail related

Extra quotes in the string are the problem:

Check this difference:
PHP Code:

/* your code */$message = "<?php echo $_POST["application"]; ?>";
...versus:
PHP Code:

/* escape other quote characters WITHIN the string */$message = "<?php echo $_POST[\"application\"]; ?>";
Note that this is just before line 5. With php parsing, this was a simpler find, but know that "expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING" related problems could be several lines (or more) from where the parser 'thinks' the problem actually happened.

Re: Also e-mail related

Change the code to this -

<?php

$to = "souljzsniper@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Application";
$message = "<?php echo $_POST[\"application\"]; ?>";
mail($to,$subject,$message);
echo "../thankyou.php";

?>

Now I get this -

**** error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/directory on line 5

Re: Also e-mail related

Epicnicity, you were trying to "open php in php"... if that's right...

Anyways, try the following:

PHP Code:

<?php

$to = "souljzsniper@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Application";
$message = $_POST["application"];
mail($to,$subject,$message);
echo "../thankyou.php";

?>

Re: Also e-mail related

You can't call all the post values at the same time:

PHP Code:

<?php

$to = "souljzsniper@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Application for " . $_POST["name"];

$message = 
"Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\n
Namecheck: " . $_POST["namecheck"] . "\n

InGame Name: " . $_POST["gamename"] . "\n
Gamecheck: " . $_POST["gamecheck"] . "\n

Age: " . $_POST["age"] . "\n
Agecheck: " . $_POST["agecheck"] . "\n

Email: " . $_POST["email"] . "\n
Emailcheck: " . $_POST["emailcheck"] . "\n

X-Fire: " . $_POST["xfire"] . "\n
X-Firecheck: " . $_POST["xfirecheck"] . "\n

Why: " . $_POST["why"] . "\n";

mail($to,$subject,$message);
echo "../thankyou.php";

?>

I've added the "\n" after each line. That causes a line break, so that the contents aren't all on one line.
