if the previous line is a cut/paste, it looks like you are using M$ special quotes or back tics maybe.

make sure they are single or double quotes and you should be good to go.

You have an extra single quote in the previous line. Hence your parse error.

"Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness,
and some have greatness thrust upon them."

Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V
by William Shakespeare

$headers = 'bcc: kathyandrews@bellsouth.net';

Works but corrupts the "from" portion and changes it to "nobody"
Which I think goes back too the smtp portion.
Let me try that!

Thank you!
