How to fix syntax error, unexpected T_IF error in php for this contact form?

Question

Don't know why i'm getting this error for my contact form i'm new to php. Hope you can help me with this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'if' (T_IF) on line 2

Code:

<? php
    if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
       $name = $_POST['name'];
       $mailFrom = $_POST['email'];
       $Phone = $_POST['phone'];
       $Message = $_POST['message'];
       $Select = $_POST['project'];
       $mailTo = "info@amaravathiestates.in";
       $headers ="From: ".$mailFrom;$txt = "You have received an email from " .$name ".\n\n" .$Message ".\n\n" "Phone Number:" .$Phone ".\n\n" "Project Visit:" .$Select;
       mail($mailTo,$txt,$headers);
       header("Location: Contact-Us.html");
    };

remove the `semicolon` at the end of `if` – Gayan S. Muthukumarana Sep 16 '19 at 05:59 — Gayan S. Muthukumarana, Sep 16 '19 at 05:59

You forgot " in $mailTo = "info@amaravat";

No gap needs to be in between <? and php

As well as use exit(); after header redirects, otherwise any code below it will execute even after redirection happen.(will create a big security loophole)

Code needs to be:-

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $mailFrom = $_POST['email'];
    $Phone = $_POST['phone'];
    $Message = $_POST['message'];
    $Select = $_POST['project'];
    $mailTo = "info@amaravat"; //forgot "
    $headers ="From: ".$mailFrom;
    $txt = "You have received an email from " .$name ".\n\n" .$Message ".\n\n" "Phone Number:" .$Phone ".\n\n" "Project Visit:" .$Select;
    mail($mailTo,$txt,$headers);
    header("Location: Contact-Us.html");
    exit(); // use exit() to stop code execution
}
