FOR EASY REFERENCE, THIS IS THE PROBLEM PART

// Copy the application data to the text file database 
                        // Open the text file 
                        $_reg_file = fopen ('text/card_reg/online.txt', 'ab') 
                        // Store the data 
                        $_eto_na = $_POST['your_name']; 
                        fwrite ($_reg_file, $_eto_na); 
                        fclose ($_reg_file); // Close the file.

You simply forgot a semicolon.
Change

$_reg_file = fopen ('text/card_reg/online.txt', 'ab')

to

$_reg_file = fopen ('text/card_reg/online.txt', 'ab');

And please, shorten your sentences!
