Well... I tried to locate line 137, and what I got was this:

echo ("<p>Please press the "Back" button and enter a valid Email address and a five number Zip Code.");

And after a short reconsideration, I came up with this correction that should work:

echo ("<p>Please press the \"Back\" button and enter a valid Email address and a five number Zip Code.");

Hope that helps? :?:

Anytime you use quotes (") that you want the end user to see, always put backslashes before.

If you often forget, I have found you can use single quotes and not have to use backslashes...example...

Instead of this...

<?php echo "Press the \"Back\" button"; ?>

You could probably use

<?php echo 'Press the "Back" button'; ?>

Perhaps Troy knows a bit more about this...
