Error with function that attempts to fill an array

I can't seem to get the syntax for this function right, I am getting an error related to the function setNewContact. This file includes the function definitions for one of the classes in my program. Any idea where this error comes from?

Code:

#include "Person.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


/*This file contains the function definitions for class Person*/


Person::Person()
{
    nextEmptySpot=0;
}


//This function prompts the user to input the contact’s first name, last name, address, zip code, phone number, email, and notes
//The user input gets placed in the contactList array
void Person::enterNewContact()
{
    cout << "\n\tCreate a new contact selected.\n" << endl << "\tPress <Enter> after each input. " << endl
    << "\nPlease input the First Name: ";
        getline(cin,firstName);


    cout << "Please enter the Last Name: ";
        getline(cin,lastName);
    if (lastName=="")
    {
        cout<<"Last Name is a required field. Please try again.";
    }
    else {


    cout << "\nPlease enter the Street Address, City,\nState, and  Country separated by commas: ";
        getline(cin,address);


    cout << "\nPlease input the ZIP code: ";
        getline(cin,zip);


    cout << "Please input the Telephone Number: ";
        getline(cin,phone);


    cout << "Please input the email address: ";
        getline(cin,email);


    cout << "Please input any other information: ";
        getline(cin,notes);
}
}
//puts the new person object into the array
void Person::setNewContact()
{
    contactList[nextEmptySpot++]={firstName; lastName; address; phone; email; notes;}
// function returns two errors 
    
}

These are the two compiler errors. I likely have the syntax for this function wrong.

Code:

error C2059: syntax error : '{'
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'

I am trying to store the information inputted by the user in the function enterNewContact into one element of the array contactList.

I appreciate your help.

You should get a better compiler that has better error messages, including line numbers.

Edit:
But whatever you're trying to do on line 56, it's not correct.

Code:

contactList[nextEmptySpot++]={firstName; lastName; address; phone; email; notes;}

I see what you're going for, the correct syntax is

Code:

{arg1, arg2, ...}

But this only works when initializing structs or arrays, you can't assign to variables like this
Either 1)set each variable individually or 2)provide a set(firstName, lastName...) method

@King Mir: looks like MSVC to me, it gives line numbers, OP just didn't copy them

1>c:\users\username\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\quicksoft contact database\quicksoft contact database\person.cpp(56) : error C2059: syntax error : '{'
1>c:\users\username\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\quicksoft contact database\quicksoft contact database\person.cpp(56) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'

Here are the full error lines from visual studio 2008.

The errors occur on line 56, inside the setNewContact Function.

Thanks for your time.

Got everything figured out, Thanks for your help.
