your comments are very helpful !!

Sarcasm aside, I was correcting a typo that was a little off.

 

And on topic, whats the error that you're throwing up.

[slimboyfatz32]

the PHP script is throwing out a bunch of <br> tags into my html document , which then stops the damn thing from validating , not sure which part of the script is producing this problematic output though ???
