PHP form handling help!

Hi everyone, I still cant figure out why this PHP code gives me this error code when i try to send an email from my form..... Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/webde105/public_html/theform.php on line 26....

Does anybody know what is wrong with my PHP code???

<html>
<body>
<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
  {
  //send email
  $fullname = $_REQUEST['fullname'] ;
  $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

  mail( "example@example.com", "From: $email", "Full name: $fullname", "Subject: $subject", "message: $message" );
  echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
  }
else
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
  {
  echo "<form method='post' action='theform.php'>

 Full name:

<input type="text" name="fullname" rows="20" />
<br />

Subject:

<input type="text" name="subject" />
<br />

Email address:

<input type="text" name="email" />
<br />

Message:

<textarea name="Message" rows=8 cols=40>
</textarea>
<br />

<div class="submitform"><input type="submit" value="Submit form" />
<br />
</form>";
  }
?>
</body>
</html>

Your help is much appreciated, thanks.

Where you echo the form inputs try changing the double quotes to single quotes for the attributes and see if that helps.

No, it makes no differece 🙁 and the parse error is line 23, not 26, sorry.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/webde105/public_html/theform.php on line 23

I've changed them and it worked for me. Did you have the same code above?

The changes didn't work for me. Very frustrating. A problem from my side then.
Thanks for giving me your time 🙂
