this end tag has no matching start tag

While I'm sure the solution is staring me dead in the face I cannot see it. Offending code is as follows..."<form method='post' action='mailform.php'> Email: <input name='email' type='text' /><br /> Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br /> Message:<br /> <textarea name='message' rows='15' cols='40'> </textarea><br /> <input type='submit' value='Submit' /></form>";}?>when compiled onto a web page the "submit button" is followed by ";?> it's just a copied version of the form at http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mail.asp

[Err]

Just curious, does your webpage you complied run PHP code? If so, post your entire code.

per your request...<?phpif (isset($_REQUEST['email'])) { //send email mail("joshua-sherman@live.com", $subject, $message, "From:" . $email); $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ; $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; echo "Thank you for using our mail form"; }else { echo "<form method='post' action='mailform.php'> Email: <input name='email' type='text' /><br /> Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br /> Message:<br /> <textarea name='message' rows='15' cols='40'> </textarea><br /> <input type='submit' value='Submit' /></form>";}?>

did you also mean ENTIRE page's code, or just where the php is involved?

You need to execute the code on a server that runs PHP.

[Err]

Yeah, If you don't have PHP running, you'll get very weird errors on your webpage like the one you got.

running through GoDaddy. Maybe I have been assuming it has php because it does brag about it, but am currently checking the server.

more over, the problem i am experiencing seems less to do with the php and more to do with the form tags in the html itself.

Remember to save your file with a .php extension. The problem has to do with PHP because the PHP is appearing in your source code when it shouldn't.
