If have a rule that sends a mail to an arbitrary email address. The mail was being sent successfully until I inserted the following code:

if ( $node->field_authorizer[0][value] == 'Mr. John Mason') {
  echo 'jmason@lomira.k12.wi.us' ; 
} 
elseif ( $node->field_authorizer[0][value] == 'Mr. Bob Lloyd') {
  print 'blloyd@lomira.k12.wi.us';  
} 
elseif ( $node->field_authorizer[0][value] == 'Mrs. Lori Loehr') {
  print 'lloehr@lomira.k12.wi.us';  
} 
elseif ( $node->field_authorizer[0][value] == 'Mrs. Shannon Stein') {
  print 'sstein@lomira.k12.wi.us';  
} 
else {
print 'That thing didn't work at all.'; 
}

Now it says: Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the site administrator if the problem persists.

I'm fairly certain that is the correct syntax. I even tried adding "global $user;" (shouldn't be necessary) but still no dice.

I'm guessing Rules simply doesn't support that sort of PHP? Or my PHP is wrong?

By the way, I did fix that apostrophe error:

else {
print 'That thing didn't work at all.;
}

to:

else {
print 'That thing didnt work at all.';
}

But still get the same error.

Read my last sentence:

"But still get the same error."
