I'm new to coding and after hosting my site I got this error when checking to make sure my php contact form was working:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING on line 16

the php code is:

<?php

$subject="subject";

$message="$message";

$mail_from="$email";

$header="from: $name <$mail_form>";

$to='fearnstj@vcu.edu';

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

if($send_contact){
    echno "Thank You!" "<a href='index.html' style='text-decoration:none; color:#4fa9b8;'> Return Home </a>";
}
else{
    echno "ERROR";
}
?>

Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

True format. echo instead of echno and fixed double quotes " "

if($send_contact){
    echo "Thank You! <a href='index.html' style='text-decoration:none; color:#4fa9b8;'> Return Home </a>";
} else {
    echo "ERROR";
}

Answer 2

Your problem is with the following code

echno "Thank You!" "<a href='index.html' style='text-decoration:none; color:#4fa9b8;'> Return Home </a>";
   ^             ^ ^
echno "ERROR";
   ^

You either need to remove the two double quotes or concantinate the string with the . operator.

echo "Thank You! <a href='index.html' style='text-decoration:none; color:#4fa9b8;'> Return Home </a>";

Also echno is not a thing, the correct name is echo.

Answer 3

change this:

if($send_contact){
echno "Thank You!" "<a href='index.html' style='text-decoration:none; color:#4fa9b8;'>        Return Home </a>";
} else {
   echno "ERROR";
}

to

if($send_contact){ 

    echo "Thank You! "."<a href='index.html' style='text-decoration:none; color:#4fa9b8;'> Return Home </a>";
                   // ^ Here the point
} else {

    echo "ERROR";
}

or (Updated)

if($send_contact){ 

    echo "Thank You! <a href='index.html' style='text-decoration:none; color:#4fa9b8;'> Return Home </a>";
                 // ^ Eliminated double quotes
} else {

    echo "ERROR";
}

Don't exist echno and between the both string you forget the . or to eliminate the " "
