Question

Hi Can anyone suggest a quick form script for a php form?
I generated the one below from telepro and modified the html and emails a bit, but I get this error for the checkbox

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/inn.co.uk/public/mailer.php on line 14

thanks for your help

Regards
Judi

You are using a question mark in your variable name. That doesn’t work.

See the PHP Manual on variables for naming conventions.

replace

$DoyouagreetoourTermsofBusiness?

by

$DoyouagreetoourTermsofBusiness

and it will work fine.
