  • Change `mail=(` to `mail(` – B001ᛦ Nov 11 '21 at 13:28
  • if mail is variable then use `$mail` but as @B001ᛦ said, I think mail is function then use `mail(...)`. – vee Nov 11 '21 at 13:29
  • You forgot the semi-colon right before `mail=`(or put it in the wrong spot since it's inside of the quotes), which has been pointed out is also incorrect – aynber Nov 11 '21 at 13:30

Your semi-colon is inside your header string, and you are assigning mail instead of calling the function. Change the last couple of lines to this

$header ='From:{$email}\r\n'.
'Cc:astaquag@gmail.com\r\n'.
'Content-Type:text/html';

mail($to,$subject,$message, $header);

Normally when you have an error like

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'mail'

it means you forgot a semi-colon on the line before.

Current php think mail is a a constant. But mail would be a funktion then change your last line to: mail($to,$subject,$message, $header);

Mail is a function not a variable - remove the =

It should be:

mail($to,$subject,$message, $header);
