Please Help - Parse Error: Syntax Error

this is the error I get when submitting a form

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/content/64/10360664/html/html_form_send.php on line 1

Here is the code being used. (I know some coding but am still learning a lot. If you can 'dumb down' any responses.... that would be appreciated greatly)

<?phpif(isset($_POST['email'])) } 
 
      // CHANGE THE TWO LINES BELOW
 
          $email_to = "applicant@redrivercarclub.com";

                          function died($error) {
 
                                // your error code can go here       
 
                                echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";       
 
                                echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";

Copied and pasted the code above and when I submit, I get this:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/content/64/10360664/html/html_form_send.php on line 130

Am I missing out on something??

 

Yes. you commented out the close php line. Try this instead:

                                echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";

Is there a way to do a redirect after the message has been seen upon confirmation of form submit?
