Brad,
please, try solving these kinds of things yourself. Especially seen as
the parse error which you posted here was already found and shown to you
in one of your earlier posts to this list (if I'm not mistaken).
So, your problem is:
$body.= '<a href="'http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com'">link </a>';
Try to spot the problem here. I'll give you a hint: it has to do with
single-quotes.
Right, I hope you've guessed it by now, but in case you haven't, let's
dissect the problem:
'<a href="' = T_STRING
http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com = unknown [1]?
'">link </a>' = T_STRING
So, we basically have 2 strings, with a bit of weirdness sandwiched in
between them. To the parser: this might be several constants joined
together using the . (concatenation operator). But: it can't be, because
it has a : and a / in it. So... no, the parser has not a clue what this
might be, so it spits out an error.
So, how do you solve your problem; well, first of all, YOU know it's
supposed to be a string, so let's make it one:
$body.= '<a href="'.'http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com'.'">link </a>';
That would work, but it's needlessly complicated, we don't need to glue
3 strings together if we can do it all in 1 string aswell. So let's
change it to:
$body.= '<a href="http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com";>link </a>';
whoa! it works!
Next time Brad, please try to take a look yourself at the line the error
indicates (and the lines around it aswell) and TRY to figure out what
MIGHT be wrong.

P.S. to admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, if you try saying "These are the same
people who again and again are not the ones who answer the questions,
yet try to take credit by belittling the answer with gibberish." about
me once more, I will get very pissed. I spend a lot of time trying to
get people to code efficiently and in a readable way. If I post to the
list trying to bring clarity into your code, then there is a very good
reason for it. I don't belittle your answer, and I don't appreciate such
bullcrap.

Brad,
That code is a mess and highly incorrect, even at a novice level.
Let me give you a hand....

I implemented the proposed code, and emails are not being sent?
Any suggestions?
Here is the code
<?
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$eol="\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "Message-ID: <".time()."-".$fromaddress.">".$eol;

$msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol;
$msg .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol;
$msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
$body.='<ahref="'.www.zoneofsuccessclub.com.'">link </a>';
$msg .= $body.$eol.$eol;
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
?>
[snip]
1.) You reference $to in the mail() function, but there is no $to
defined. Instead, either change $email to $to or vice-versa.
2.) You don't need to start the first line of a variable off with
a .= --- this will append to an existing variable of the same name, if
it exists.
3.) You change your quoting style where it's not necessary. All
$msg lines should be using double quotes in your code above.
4.) <ahref="..." is not a tag. The correct usage is <a href="..."
5.) You have things in the message body that should be in the headers.
6.) You don't need to do a carriage return and newline in the
message body. A simple \n will suffice.
7.) I'm not sure what you hoped to achieve with the
"'.www.domain.com.'" conglomerate, but.... don't. That makes PHP
think that the domain is some sort of internally-defined variable of
horrible construct.
8.) You should use http:// prior to the FQDN.
Taking hints from what appears to be your code, this is how it should
be:
<?
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$eol="\r\n";
$headers = "From: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "Message-ID: <".time()."-".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP ".phpversion().$eol;
$headers .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
$body = "<a href=\"http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com\";>link </a>\n";
mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
?>
