Solution 1

PHP

!empty($_POST['username'] &&
!empty($_POST['userEmail'] &&
!empty($_POST['subject'] &&

These three lines should read instead:

PHP

!empty($_POST['username']) &&
!empty($_POST['userEmail']) &&
!empty($_POST['subject']) &&

f (isset($_POST['userName']) &&
    isset($_POST['userEmail']) &&
    isset($_POST['subject']) &&
    isset($_POST['content']) &&
    !empty($_POST['username'] &&
    !empty($_POST['userEmail'] &&
    !empty($_POST['subject'] &&
    !empty($_POST['content'])){

You aren't closing all of your !empty(....) items.

The error means that it came across '{' when it wasn't ready - missing '}' and more than one is missing.

How do I fix parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{'

In every programming language, parenthesizes ("()[]{}") define groups, thus, the structure of programs. They are matched, an opening one for a closing one, they are recursive.
That is a reason why programmer's editors exist with the special feature of highlighting matching parenthesizes among others, it is deadly important.
