Now my problem:

When I test the form I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in email.php on line 186

 

Can anyone help me out here? I have tried everything I can think of.

that contains the file attachment. Here's the code:

 

You do not have that commented out. Make it like this:

//that contains the file attachment. Here's the code:

 

And hopefully that fixes your syntax error.

another one below that:

 

//That completes the modifications necessary to accommodate a file

attachment. We can now send the message with a quick call to mail:

 

every line that is a comment needs to be properly commented using:

 

<?php
#comment
//comment
/*
* comment
*/
?>
