ok… I was on the tutoril of how to make a php contact page… So I done it and everything but i needed to add a dropdown dox… this was named “reason”. Everything seemed alright when looking at the code but when I tryed it I recived an error parse so somthing… Now I was confused!

Here is the codes

HTML:

```auto
        <p>&nbsp;<form method="POST" action="mailer.php">
   Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;
   <input type="text" name="name" size="19"><p>Reason:
    <select size="1" name="reason">
    <option>Script Error</option>
    <option>Help</option>
    <option>Website Bug</option>
    <option>Chit Chat</option>
    <option>Other</option>
    </select><br>
   <br>
   Email:&nbsp;&nbsp;
   <input type="text" name="email" size="19"></p>
    <p>Text:<br>
   <textarea rows="9" name="message" cols="36"></textarea>
   <br>
   <br>
   <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</p>
</form></p>

```

and the PHP

```auto
 <?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "support@chrisphp.com";
$subject = "Contact from Chrisphp.com";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$dropdown = $_POST['reason'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
 
$body = "From: $name_field
 E-Mail: $email_field
 Message:
 $message";
 
echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "blarg!";

}
?>

```

Sorry for the messy code 😑

Thanks
