wow, it would really help if you can post the line #s with the code (or at least tell us the contents of that line).

If it's a static HTML, why don't you put the contents in a file, then open it and store it in a variable and simplify your mail function to:

$filename = "/usr/local/something.html";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);

mail($to, $subject, $contents, $headers);

this way you don't have to worry about escaping characters.

There are 2 single quotes in that static html - I'd guess that that's what's fowling it all up.

You could store the static html in a file or db (as suggested) or use heredoc (http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc) as shown below
