I made a form to email the data to an email ID.
But on filling up the form and submitting, the browser is saying - Server error. The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost/process.php.

Here is the code -

form1.html

XML

<html>
<head>
<title>Form</title>
</head>
<body>

<form method = "post" action = "process.php">
Enter your name <input type = "text" name = "namee" id = "namee" value = "enter your name" />
Enter your phone number <input type = "text" name = "phone" id = "phone" />
<br>
<input type  = "submit" value = "post it!" />
</form>


</body>
</html>

process.php

XML

<?php

$person_name = $_POST["namee"];
$person_number = $_POST["phone"];

$to = "example234671_1@gmail.com";
$subject = "form filled up";
$body = $person_name. "<br>" $person_number . "<br>" . $person_name ;


mail($to, $subject, $body);

echo "Thank you!" ;
?>

What is the error ??

Solution 1

I had missed out a conacatenator.

XML

There's a syntax error here.

$body = $person_name. "<br>" $person_number . "<br>" . $person_name ;
"<br>" 

needs to be followed by a concatenation dot, like so:

$body = $person_name. "<br>" . $person_number . "<br>" . $person_name ;
