parse error: Unexpected EOF

Question

I have an error. it says:

syntax error, unexpected end of file

<?php
{
if($_POST["submit']) {
    $recipient=\"youremail@gmail.com\";
    $subject=\"Inquiry Form\";
    $sender=$_POST [name];
    $senderEmail=$_POST [email];
    $FeedbackQuestion=$_POST [feedback];

$mailBody=\"Name: $name\nEmail:$email\n\n$feedback;

\mail($recipient, $subject, $mailbody, \"From: $name<$email>\");

$thankYou=\"Thank you! Your message has been sent.\";

} 
?>

What's the problem?

There are plenty of IDEs available for PHP like Eclipse, Netbeans. These editors show you the error right at code level. — Pupil, Jan 23 '18 at 09:20
Also, in the question itself, while block below `if`is showing syntax highlighted. Why didn't you get your error? — Pupil, Jan 23 '18 at 09:21

replace if($_POST["submit']) { with if($_POST["submit"]) {

see the different " instead of ' after submit

And then, remove the first { at line 2.

The complete correct code is:

<?php
if($_POST["submit"])
{
    $recipient="youremail@gmail.com";
    $subject="Inquiry Form";
    $sender=$_POST ['name'];
    $senderEmail=$_POST ['email'];
    $FeedbackQuestion=$_POST ['feedback'];

    $mailBody="Name: $name\nEmail:$email\n\n$feedback";

    mail($recipient, $subject, $mailbody, "From: $name<$email>");

    $thankYou="Thank you! Your message has been sent.";
}
?>

Also all the \" must be replaced with " because the \" is needed only inside strings enclosed by ".

Also, the arrays keys must be enclosed by '.
