Form problem

[Neil McDermott]

Hi there,

I'm a newbie on the php front but I've altered an email script to send a
bunch of information from a HTML form to an email address. Can anyone see
where I have gone wrong?

I am getting the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in
/home/httpd/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/test3/lifecover.php on line 62

I have posted the script below, any help would be muchly appreciated
(apologies if it is the worst script ever written!).

You're missing the closing quote on the above line.

When you get an error like this, look on the line previous to the one
mentioned for the problem. It usually means you have a end quote
missing.

Cheers for that Ken, is there anyway that I can insert html tags so that the
titles
of the email come out in bold e.g. <b>Application Type</b>. At the moment
this just shows the tags as if they were text.
