	<fieldset>
		<legend>Contact</legend>
		<dl>
			<dt><label for="name">Name:</label></dt>
			<dd><input name="name" type="text" value="Josh" /></dd>

			<input type="submit" value="Send" />

			<input type="reset"  value="Clear" />
		</dl>
		<p>* Designates required field</p>
	</fieldset>
</form>

The PHP - extracted from contact.php

<?php
function validText($text) {
	var $trimmed = trim(strtolower(strip_tags($text)));
	var $safe = ereg_replace("[[:space:]]+", " ", $trimmed);
	return substr($safe, 1, 50);
}
function htmlFriendly($text) {
	var $trimmed = trim(strtolower(htmlentities(($text)));
	var $safe = ereg_replace("[[:space:]]+", " ", $trimmed);
	return substr($safe, 1, 1024);
}
$username = validText($_REQUEST['name']);
$url = validText($_REQUEST['yourURL']);
$Subject = validText($_REQUEST['subject']);
$message = htmlFriendly($_REQUEST['msg']);
$headers = '
	From: $name - $email
	CC: $email
';

$To = "webmaster@dividinglimits.com";
$From = htmlFriendly('email');
$Body = '
	From: $username  -  URL: $url
	Subject: $subject
	Message: $msg
';

if(mail($To, $Subject, $Body, $Headers)) {
	echo "

Thank You {$name} for your comments! You are not being redirected
" header(Location: /index.html); echo "— Click Here if you dont want to wait —"; } else { echo "

Unable to send
";
}
?>

Giving me the error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VAR in /home/dividinglimits.com/contact.php on line 3
I double and tripled checked the variables and they are all assigned correctly unless i am blind If you can spot where its expecting the variable I would appreciate it. I do not see anything on line 3 (highlighted) or anywhere else in the code.

I also tried to pass thru $var and $value as the argument but both of those gave me the same error

any help would be appreciated

You're getting your php syntax confused with javascript syntax.

var $trimmed = trim(strtolower(strip_tags($text)));

is not the correct way to declare a variable. (same problem on the next line, and in the htmlFriendly function)

Its almost the same, but instead of
var result = "Yes"
you have
$result = "Yes";
