PHP联系表格不起作用

Question

Below is the code for my PHP contact form. But when I submit it I get the following error:

" Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ')' in F:\wamp\www\peter harris\form.php on line 12 "

I want to know what is wrong with my code. I am fairly a beginner.

Thanks

              <?php
        $subject = $_POST['Contact Form'];
        $name = $_POST['name'];
        $email = $_POST['email'];
        $phone = $_POST['phone'];
        $event_location = $_POST['event-location'];
        $event_date = $_POST['event-date'];
        $event_time = $_POST['event-time'];
        $message = $_POST['message'];
        $date = date(r);

        $list=array($name,$email,$phone,$event_location,$event_date,$event_time,$date);
        $strTo = "[e-mail]";
        $strSubject = " Contact Form -";
        $strFrom = trim($_POST["Contact Form - name"]);
        $str_content = "From". trim($_POST["name"]) . "
" . "Email: " . trim($_POST["EMAIL"]) . "
" . "Phone: " . trim($_POST["phone"]) . "
" . 
        "Event Location: " . trim($_POST["event-location"]) . "
" . "Event Date: " . trim($_POST["event-date"]) . "
" .  "Event Time: " . trim($_POST["event-time"]) . "
" .
        "Message: " . trim($_POST["message"]) . "
" . "Date: " .      trim($_POST["date"]) . "
" ;
                mail($strTo,$strFrom,$strSubject,$str_content); 

            echo ("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'></SCRIPT>");
             echo "<script>alert(' YOUR EMAIL HAS BEEN SENT. ')</script>";
              echo "<script>window.history.go(-1)</script>";        

  ?>

My HTML code for the FORM:

<form id="contact-form" name="contact-form" action="form.php" method="post" 
    onsubmit="return validateForm()">
<input id="name" type="name" name="name" value="NAME"  
     onfocus="if (this.value=='NAME') this.value='';" onblur="if (this.value=='') 
     this.value='NAME';"/><br />
<input id="email" type="email" name="email" value="EMAIL" onfocus="if     
    (this.value=='EMAIL') this.value='';" onblur="if (this.value=='') 
    this.value='EMAIL';" /><br />
<input id="phone" type="text" name="phone" value="PHONE" class="phone" onfocus="if 
    (this.value=='PHONE') this.value='';" onblur="if (this.value=='')   
     this.value='PHONE';" /><br />
<input type="text" name="event-location" value="EVENT LOCATION" onfocus="if  
    (this.value=='EVENT LOCATION') this.value='';" onblur="if (this.value=='')  
    this.value='EVENT LOCATION';" /><br />
<input type="text" name="event-date" value="EVENT DATE" onfocus="if  
    (this.value=='EVENT DATE') this.value='';" onblur="if (this.value=='')  
     this.value='EVENT DATE';" /><br />
<input type="text" name="event-time" value="EVENT TIME" onfocus="if  
    (this.value=='EVENT TIME') this.value='';" onblur="if (this.value=='')  
    this.value='EVENT TIME';" /><br />
<input type="text" name="message" value="MESSAGE" class="message" onfocus="if  
    (this.value=='MESSAGE') this.value='';" onblur="if (this.value=='')  
     this.value='MESSAGE';" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="send" value="SEND" />
</form>

Besides the syntax errors, this is how your code "should look like":

<?php
// Trim all POST strings
$data = array_map(function($value){
    return is_string($value) ? trim($value) : $value;
}, $_POST);

$body = "From {$data['name']}
".
    "Email: {$data['email']}
".
    "Phone: {$data['phone']}
". 
    "Event Location: {$data['event-location']}
".
    "Event Date: {$data['event-date']}
".
    "Event Time: {$data['event-time']}
".
    "Message: {$data['message']}
".
    "Date: {".date('r')."}
";

mail('[e-mail]',$data['name'],'Contact', $body);

?>

<script type="text/javascript">
alert('Your email has been sent.');
window.history.go(-1);
</script>

Few things you should know:

1. it's not really recommended to have query variable names with spaces

2. you should validate the data you're getting; if you've put some field in your form it doesn't mean you'll always get it at all (not to mention the right format)

3. there is practically no difference between $something and $array['something'] so you don't need to define each array key you need to use as new variable

4. there is no need to have 3 script tags in order to have 2 function calls

5. try not to output HTML through PHP (and separate the presentation from logic altogether)
