12,060 PointsI'm getting a "Parse Error": syntax error, unexpected '<' in my code.
Here's my code:
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$email_body = "";
$email_body = $email_body . "Name: " . $name . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Email: " . $email . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Message: " . $message;
// TODO: Send Email
header("Location: contact.php?status=thanks");
exit;
}
?><?php
$pageTitle = "Contact Mike";
$section = "contact";
include('inc/header.php'); ?>
<div class="section page">
<div class="wrapper">
<h1>Contact</h1>
<?php if (isset($_GET["status"]) AND $_GET["status"] == "thanks") { ?>
<p>Thanks for the email! I’ll be in touch shortly.</p>
<?php } else { ?>
<p>I’d love to hear from you! Complete the form to send me an email.</p>
<form method="post" action="contact.php">
<table>
<tr>
<th>
<label for="name">Name</label>
</th>
<td>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
<label for="email">Email</label>
</th>
<td>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
<label for="message">Message</label>
</th>
<td>
<textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
<?php }
</div>
</div>
<?php include('inc/footer.php'); ?>
I cannot locate this "syntax error" anywhere. Help!

22,986 PointsYes that's it! Also with that error, did it not also give you the line number that error ocurred on?
