Well, looking in the vicinity of line 79, i'd say the problem lies with
your reversed PHP tags:
<input name="name" size="50" maxlength="40" value=?> echo $name. <?">
You've got another right below that:
<input name="subject" size="50" maxlength="40" value="?>echo $subject;<?>
And another:
<textarea name="msg" cols="50" rows="8">?> echo $message;<?</textarea>
Some other points:
- You can do without the "echo" by using, eg. <?= $message ?>
- Because this is an XHTML page, you should be closing your input tags
and properly quoting the attributes: value="<?= $name ?>" />
- That your script's purpose is to send mail has nothing to do with how
it displays in a browser.
Anyway, that should do it. Be sure to validate the page.
