Hi $mail_username,

I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted as the new owner of the ‘$mail_subject’ subject.

When you next log into ‘$config_sitename’ you will see the subject in your Control Panel.

So I copied the file into a new ONE and I believe the problem was white space after MESSAGE; .

After trying it in Notepad++, I’ve come to the same conclusion! That’s a very weird error though.

While I’m here, if you’re using echo without brackets:

[php]echo ‘Some’ . $variable . ‘parts’;[/php]

Then you can use commas instead of periods. Echo will output each part without first having to join the parts together into one string:

[php]echo ‘Some’, $variable, ‘parts’;[/php]

Just a little tip that will help with optimisation

Thanks for the tip!
