Look at line 55, and figure out what's missing for that command that all the other commands have. 😉

Did you even take a look at line 55 and think at about about what is missing at the end of that line?

Hint: it's a punctuation character.

think i have a bad script ?? someone help

My editor finds no other parse errors in the code you showed us.

Are you sure the file you are testing is the same one you saved after making the change? (Maybe you need to FTP the file to the location where you're testing it?)

ok, the error code are gone ! but why i dont receive the form info in my mail ??

You probably need to set a "From:" header (at the very least) in the additional headers parameter for mail(), and its value probably has to be a valid email address on your web host. But now we're getting into stuff a bit more complex than a plain old syntax error, and there may not be a one-size-fits all answer, depending upon how your web server is configured.

Also, since your message is HTML, you probably want the Content-Type to be "text/html", not "text/plain" -- but that should not be stopping the mail from being sent.

PS: At least for now, you should check the return value from mail() to see if it's false, and if so output or log some sort of debug message to that effect, so you know if the problem is that the mail was not sent versus mail() thinks it was sent but it never made it to you (and don't forget to check your spam folder).
