I have the following code;

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Rune Voyage</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/main.css">
</head>
<body>

<?php

$ip = $_POST['ip'];
$httpref = $_POST['httpref'];
$httpagent = $_POST['httpagent'];
$visitor = $_POST['visitor'];
$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail'];
$notes = $_POST['notes'];
$attn = $_POST['attn'];

if (eregi('http:', $notes)) {
die ("Do NOT try that! ! ");
}
if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,".")))
{
echo "Unfortunately, the email address you entered does not seem to be valid.\n";
$badinput = "Please go back and try again.\n";
echo $badinput;
die ("");
}

if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($notes )) {
echo "Sorry, but we were unable to process the form. Please go back and ensure all fields are completed.\n";
die ("");
}

$attn = $attn ;
$subject = $attn;

$notes = stripcslashes($notes);

$message = " \n
Subject: $attn \n
Message: $notes \n
From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n
Additional Info : IP = $ip \n
Browser Info: $httpagent \n
Referral : $httpref \n
";

$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";

mail("runevoyage@googlemail.com", $subject, $message, $from);

?>


Thank you <?php echo $visitor ?> for contacting us.

Withing the next few minutes you should receive an email from us confirming your contact. 
If you chose to be contacted by us, you will receive your reply to the email address you gave you us- <?php echo $visitormail ?>.

</html>

However, when it runs, I get;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/mrrsman/public_html/sendeail.php on line 28

(Sendeail.php is the name of the page).

I can't find an error...let along know how to fix it!

Please help!

The error comes from not escaping quotes on the following lines:

echo "Unfortunately, the email address you entered does not seem to be valid.\n";
$badinput = "Please go back and try again.\n";

You should either use single quotes, escape them with a slash ( \" ), or break out of php before sending HTML to the browser.

echo 'Unfortunately, the email address you entered does not seem to be valid.';
echo "\n";

$badinput = "Please go back and try again.\n";

Hope this helps.
