I have a form that asks for the user’s name and email. Then I have another PHP file that sends the info to my email. Here is the PHP code below.

```auto

line 21 $msg = "Name: " . $name; . "
" . "Email: " . $email;
line 22 mail($to, $subject, $msg);

```

And here is the problem output:

```auto

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '.' in /home/neodream/public_html/jobprocessor.php on line 21

```

The form worked fine until I added in the new line command (  
) after $name. Maybe there’s something wrong with that?
