PHP Parse error: syntax error

[Kenny Smith]

I'm trying to implement a form submission feature on my website using PHP, but I'm getting the following error: 'PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$_POST' (T_VARIABLE) in /path/to/file.php on line 12'. Here is the relevant code:

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];
 
  $formcontent="From: $name \n Message: $message";
  $recipient = "myemail@example.com";
  $subject = "Contact Form";
  $mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
  mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
  echo "Thank You!";
}

I'm not sure what's causing this error. Can anyone help me figure out what's going wrong and how I can fix it?"

That PHP code snippet compiles okay for me - are you sure that is the code in question? Which is line 12?

Agreed, the code needs more context.

I don't know, it doesn't work for me. What should I do?

Give us line numbers.
