while($x < $send) {
$x = $x + 1;
mail();
}
echo "
<br>Message sent $send times :
<br>To : $mailto
<br>From : $from
<br>Number of times : $send
<br>Subject : $sub
<br>Message Body : $body
";

"

You forgot your closing quote for if ($password = 'passwd')

Also...your code looks kind of messed up. Are you defining a function within an if loop? Also, you call mailer() with no passed variables, but then you define it to expect variables to be passed to it. Define your functions at the top of the file and then refer to them in your code.
