Parse error, unexpected T_IF need help finding

[MFE]

I just started coding in PHP and need helping finding the exact location of the parse error.  The output tells me:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in ... on line 8"

I know it's not an exact location, but still can't find the syntax mistake.

 

<?php #Script6 - register.php 

require_once('template/config.inc');

$page_title = 'Register;
include ('template/header.html')

if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {

 require_once ('mysql_connect.php');

 //First Name
 if (eregi ("^[[:alpha:].' -]{2,15}$", stripslashes(trim($_POST['first_name'])))) {
 					 $fn = escape_data($_POST['first_name']);
 } else {
 	 			   $fn = FALSE;
					 echo '<p>Please enter your first name</p>';
 }

 //Last Name
 if (eregi ("^[[:alpha:].' -]{2,30}$", stripslashes(trim($_POST['last_name'])))) {
 					 $ln = escape_data($_POST['last_name']);
 } else {
 	 			   $ln = FALSE;
					 echo '<p>Please enter your last name</p>';
 }

 //Email Address
 if (eregi ("^[[:alnum:]][a-z0-9_.-]*@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$", stripslashes(trim($_POST['email'])))) {
 					 $e = escape_data($_POST['email']);

		}
	} else {

 }

 //EVERYTHING

 if ($fn && $ln && $e && $u && $p) {

			 			//Email New User
						$body = "Dear '{$_POST['first_name']}',\n Thank you for registering";
						mail ($_POST['email'], 'Thank you for registering', $body, 'From: [email protected]');

						//Output
						echo 'Thank you for registering';
						include ('template/footer.html');
						exit ();
				} else {

		mysql_close();

missing semi-colon on the previous command line

 

and the line before THAT one is incorrect syntax.

 

$page_title = 'Register';
include ('template/header.html');

And eregi() is deprecated, and a few other things stand out. Is that code from an old application/book/tutorial?
