How am I getting an unexpected variable error for something that's a standard closing tag? HELP!

[edit reason] generalized url in vhost dir error [/edit]
you get those errors usually with missing semi-colons, missing braces, missing parentheses and, as in this case, mismatched quotes
this causes any given line to carry on, encompassing many other lines and the parse error occurs much later in the script
this line
$street1\n$city, $state $zip\n\nThanks,\n$name;
is missing the closing quote, it should be
$street1\n$city, $state $zip\n\nThanks,\n$name";
;)
