echo not working

I know it's a syntax error but I can't quite pin it down and need help doing so.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in C:\postchat.inc .php on line 140

Well, here's the if statement line 140 is contained within.

[php]
if (strtolower($in fo['gender'])=="male") {
$lookat="You looked at <b><i>".ucfirst ($info['cn'])."</i></b> and see that he is a <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['gender'])." ".strtolower($i nfo['race'])."</i></b>.
He also appears to be a <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['cl'])."</i></b>.
<b><i>".ucfirst ($info['cn'])."</i></b> seems to be <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['he'])."</i></b> in height, <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['we'])."</i></b> in weight, and his body seems <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['bu']."</i></b>.
<b><i>".ucfirst ($inv['user'])."</i></b> wears <b><i>".$inv['head']."</i></b> on his head, ".$mlear." ".$mrear." and ".$inv['shoulders']." on his shoulders.
Extending from his shoulders, he has <b><i>".$inv['shoulders']."</i></b>. He also wears ".$inv['body']." on his body, ".$inv['waist']." around his waist, and ".$inv['legs']." on his legs.".
//Line 140 is the next line
."
<b><i>".ucfirst ($inv['user'])."</i></b> also has ".$inv['feet']." on his feet.";
} elseif (strtolower($in fo['gender'])=="female") {
$lookat="You looked at <b><i>".ucfirst ($info['cn'])."</i></b> and see that she is a <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['gender'])." ".strtolower($i nfo['race'])."</i></b>.
She also appears to be a <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['cl'])."</i></b>.
<b><i>".ucfirst ($info['cn'])."</i></b> seems to be <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['he'])."</i></b> in sheight, <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['we'])."</i></b> in weight, and her body seems <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['bu']."</i></b>.
<b><i>".ucfirst ($inv['user'])."</i></b> wears <b><i>".$inv['head']."</i></b> on her shead, ".$flear." ".$frear." and ".$inv['shoulders']." on her shoulders.
Extending from her shoulders, she has <b><i>".$inv['shoulders']."</i></b>. she also wears ".$inv['body']." on her body, ".$inv['waist']." around her waist, and ".$inv['legs']." on her legs.
<b><i>".ucfirst ($inv['user'])."</i></b> also has ".$inv['feet']." on her feet.";
}[/php]
Any insights?

The error is here in the 4th line:
[php]strtolower($inf o['bu'][/php]
missing closing parenthesis, so
[php]strtolower($inf o['bu'])[/php]
But then you run into other problems, so the complete assignment statement should be like
[php]$lookat= "You looked at <b><i>".ucfirst ($info['cn'])."</i></b> and see that he is a <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['gender'])." ".strtolower($i nfo['race'])."</i></b>".
"He also appears to be a <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['cl'])."</i></b>".
"<b><i>".ucfirs t($info['cn'])."</i></b> seems to be <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['he'])."</i></b> in height, <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['we'])."</i></b> in weight, and his body seems <b><i>".strtolo wer($info['bu'])."</i></b>".
"<b><i>".ucfirs t($inv['user'])."</i></b> wears <b><i>".$inv['head']."</i></b> on his head, ".$mlear." ".$mrear." and ".$inv['shoulders']." on his shoulders".
"Extending from his shoulders, he has <b><i>".$inv['shoulders']."</i></b>. He also wears ".$inv['body']." on his body, ".$inv['waist']." around his waist, and ".$inv['legs']." on his legs.".
"<b><i>".ucfirs t($inv['user'])."</i></b> also has ".$inv['feet']." on his feet.";[/php]

Soo.. you're saying I embed each break in the code?

[ronverdonk]

No not really. But I got another parse error after I changed the first one, so I (hastily) changed it into the way I showed it.

Really? I thought web browsers only recognized one space so you could make all the white space you wanted....
