   n>";

   .="Reply-To:$email_returnn";

   =stripcslashes($message);

   for($x=1;$x<$messages+1;$x++){

   mail($target, $topic, $message2, $header);

   }

any idea what could be wrong?

Basically, it means that you have a syntax error such that there is a random string of characters dangling somewhere in the code, probably around line 79.

The crux of the problem is the PHP code:

<?php



   n>";

   .="Reply-To:$email_returnn";

   =stripcslashes($message);

   for($x=1;$x<$messages+1;$x++){

   mail($target, $topic, $message2, $header);

   }

Does it look correct to you? If not, what looks wrong?

There are multiple things that are wrong, but for me to explain it to you at this point may not make that much sense. I suggest that you go through your guide today, perhaps supplementing it with another PHP tutorial.
