[SOLVED] Parse error?

[BBGaming]

I've been trying to write a simple comment script for my website, because everything I find is WAY too fancy and complicated.

 

Of course, nothing seems to work right.

 

This is comments.php (the main page)

<?php
include('commentlog.html')
?>
<br>
<br>
<form action="pages/commentpost.php" method="post"> 
<textarea name="commenttext"></textarea> 
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Comment"> 
</form>

 

This is commentpost.php (yes, it's in the pages folder)

<?php
$name = "test"
$comment = $_POST['commenttext']; 
$file_name = 'commentlog.html'; 
$file_a = fopen($file_name, 'r'); 
$page_content = fread($file_a, filesize($file_name)); 
fclose($file_a); 
$file_b = fopen($file_name, 'w'); 
$new_page_content = $page_content +"<br><br><font face=fixedsys color=#FFFFFF>" + $name + " posted:<br>" + $comment
fputs($file_b,$new_page_content)
fclose($file_b)
include('commentnotify.php')
?>

 

Comment notify is just a "your comment has been posted", and comment log is where the comments are stored.

 

This is the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/www/bbgaming.awardspace.com/staff/pages/commentpost.php on line 3

Which is "$comment = $_POST['commenttext'];"

 

Anybody got any ideas?
