I have an error somewhere in this line of code, if I take "by" off the line it works fine.

$msg = 'An Order has just been submitted on CID, Number' . $_POST['orderNumber']'by' .$name;

Can anyone spot my mistake?

    I would advise you to utilize one of PHPs core language features. PHP supports variable interpolation in double quoted strings. That’s much simpler than the cumbersome string concatenation:

    $msg = "An Order has just been submitted on CID, Number $_POST[orderNumber] by $name";

    Note that as special exception no array key quotes are to be used there for simple arrays. (Other examples see the manual http://php.net/manual/en/book.strings.php)

    Also note that you should actually escape (see htmlspecialchars) incoming $_POST or $_GET variables, if they are to be used for output again.
