In my attempts to modify an existing site I now own, I've tried to
implement ideas I've been getting here...and I have a new problem. In
the following code I get a "Parse error", and I can't determine why or
what to fix. The code below represents the minimum code that produces
the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ']'
in /home/content/94/6213994/html/contact.php on line 47

Please advise. TIA

//////////////////// Code for contact.php ///////////////////
<?php
include "include/page_top.php";
?>
<table border="0" style="width:455px">
<tr>
<td>
<div class="page_text">

</div>
</td>

</td>

<?php
//add form submition code
if(isset($_POST['submit_btn']))
{ // Protect against injection attacks
$contact = urldecode($_POST['email']);
if(eregi("\r",$contact) || eregi("\n",$contact) || eregi
("http://",$contact))
{
exit;
}
$to = "myid(at)gmail(dot)com";
$from = "$email\r\nBCC: results(at)raceplaceevents(dot)com";
$subject = "Race Place Events Website Inquiry";
$body1 = "Below is the info submitted:".

"\n\nComments: \n{$_POST['add_comments]}";
should be
"\n\nComments: \n{$_POST['add_comments']}";

The error message is a bit bogus. The reason is that in the first quoted
code line here the inline array reference subscript was not finished with an
apostrophe. As a result, PHP considers the subscript to not have ended
until it reaches the last closing brace (at line 47), supposedly to end the
inline reference.

...and is most easily spotted if you use a text editor with some
intelligence (I use geany) that turns the hole page end orange..(its all
a string)
