Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/nebbmhc1/public_html/send_form_email.php on line 18


ive corrected lines 15 and 16 and wonder how many more lines will have errors in as im confused as to how to correct the rest, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Remove the linebreak after the comment on line 17.

Also, try to put all comments on the line above the code they describe to make reading easier and to prevent syntax errors like this one.
