PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

Hi Everyone!

This is the dreaful error I've been getting

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\hshome\gen116\valskidsline.com\contactus1.php on line 95

I decided to add a email form to our contact page. For customers to fill out and automatically be emailed to us.

I 'thought' I was almost done and everything was complete once I uploaded both pages.... ha!

I got a tutorial and the codes from a friend of mine and I didn't change anything other than a few titles and options. The row giving me trouble has not been changed or altered from his tutorial and code. I contacted him and he said he had no idea what the problem was.

Anyways here is row 95

echo 'ERROR MESSAGE (The form couldn't been sent! Please try again!)';

you have to escape that single quote in the middle of string

the string is surrounded by 2 single quotes,
so script think string is finished in the middle

escape using back slash

echo 'ERROR MESSAGE (The form couldn\'t been sent! Please try again!)';
