Before anyone points out, I've just realised I've forgont to check if the form has been subbmitted or not, which may cause an error, but with the check in, it still gives me the same error on that particular bit of code

I've run into this problem with double quoted strings using array variables, try this

$message = "Hey $recepient the following informaiton has been sent \n\n Name - ".$_POST['name']."\n\r Email - ".$_POST['email']."\n\r Skills - ".$_POST['skill']."\n\r ".$_POST['learn']."\n\r";

you shouldn't be unescaping the single quotes in there either since it's a double quoted string.


Also the good function shouldn't work, or often won't, you need to either set the variable scope on them before using them( function good() { global $email, $subject, $message ...) or pass them to the function.
