Unexpected $end and the If...Else statement

The error text is? Short of running the code ourselves (extra effort on our part) we do not know what part of the code we should be looking at. Also, instead of providing the files as attachments, if the files do not have 1000+ lines, just post them here (wrapped with [CODE] tags) for us to see.

On line 33 of handle3.php, make sure EMAIL_RESPONSE has no whitespace before it, that is, it should be the very first thing on the line. Consider the following:

Code:

// good
    echo <<<HTML
    <input>...</input>
HTML;
// bad
    echo <<<HTML
    <input>...</input>
    HTML;
