Syntax Error when Specifying Email

[bradb72641428]

I am trying to create a contact form for a webpage in Dreamweaver and my php code displays an error message saying "syntax error, unexpected '@'". I have marked the line where the error is being detected in red. My code is below:

<?php

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {

    $name = $_POST['name'];

    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $subject = $_POST['subject'];

    $message = $_POST['message'];

    // Email address where you want to receive the form submissions

    $to = ‘EMAIL REMOVED BY MODERATOR’;

    // Email subject

    $emailSubject = 'New Contact Form Submission';

    // Email content

    $emailContent = "Name: $name\n";

    $emailContent .= "Email: $email\n";

    $emailContent .= "Subject: $subject\n";

    $emailContent .= "Message: $message\n";

    // Send the email

    $headers = "From: $name <$email>";

    if (mail($to, $emailSubject, $emailContent, $headers)) {

        echo "Message sent successfully!";

    } else {

        echo "Failed to send the message. Please try again.";

    }

}

?>

Can someone help with this?

I can cut a whole chapter from this thread by suggesting you use PHP Mailer instead of what you have now. 

 It hides your email from would-be spammers

By @Nancy OShea

Any php script does that, suggesting phpMailer hides it any better is a misleading 'selling point'.

Those that don't have a good understanding of php and how to stop spam and hacking attempts probably should use phpMailer BUT that requires a good understanding to deploy it..........hummmm.
