Definitely a PHP newbie here. I have a contact form for someone sending an email through the site that I'd like to have up on GoDaddy for a client (using Bootstrap). I've tested it on there. I have the following, but it's not sending the form probably b/c of the error below. My HTML, JS, and PHP are below. I know there's something called PHPMailer that's now used but this should work in any case. The POST happens, but never sends & I don't get a success message. Thanks. This is the error but the PHP validator says it's fine.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FOREACH in /home/content/87/4993187/html/v2/contact.php on line 16
