This form is for a website hosted on yahoo. I know it accepts php because I ran and test.php and it went through. The form goes nowhere after hitting submit on the yahoo website. I uploaded to another site and got an error message that says " Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/ecdo02/public_html/emag/validate.class.php on line 4". So I tried it on my own website hosted by godaddy and no errors, the form went through successfully and it showed up in my email. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Its very strange.
This is my request.php
<?php
define("EMAIL", "xxxxxxx@xxxxx.com");
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
include('validate.class.php');
//assign post data to variables
$firstname = trim($_POST['firstname']);
$lastname = trim($_POST['lastname']);
$company = trim($_POST['company']);
$address = trim($_POST['address']);
$city = trim($_POST['city']);
$state = trim($_POST['state']);
$zip = trim($_POST['zip']);
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
$phone = trim($_POST['phone']);
$fax = trim($_POST['fax']);
$title = trim($_POST['title']);
$interest = trim($_POST['interest']);
$comment = trim($_POST['comment']);
//start validating our form
$v = new validate();
$v->validateStr($firstname, "firstname", 3, 75);
$v->validateStr($lastname, "lastname", 3, 75);
$v->validateEmail($email, "email");
$v->validateStr($phone, "phone");
$v->validateStr($comment, "comment", 10, 500);
//use php's mail function to send the email
@mail($email_to, $subject ,$message ,$header );
if(!$v->hasErrors()) {
$header = "From: $email
" . "Reply-To: $email
";
$subject = "Lead from Website";
$email_to = EMAIL;
$message = "A message was submitted.

header('Location: '.$url."?sent=yes");
} else {
//set the number of errors message
$message_text = $v->errorNumMessage();
//store the errors list in a variable
$errors = $v->displayErrors();
//get the individual error messages
$firstnameErr = $v->getError("firstname");
$lastnameErr = $v->getError("lastname");
$phoneErr = $v->getError("phone");
