PHP mail function - sending attachments

Hello,
What I am currently working on is a web form that emails me the info submitted, along with an attached file, and writes the info to the database (minus the attachment, im not getting that deep yet)
The code is a combination of a mail script I have been using for a while, and a tutorial I found online. Im having trouble combining the two. My first problem is probably something stupid, though im sure there will be more.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/sliquidc/public_html/thenannygroup/apply.php on line 96
96 is the mail($to_email, $subject ....... line - and also part of the code from the tutorial.
PHP Code:
<?php
function sendMail() {
* if (!isset ($_POST['agreement'])) { //Oops, you did not agree to our terms
* * die ("<p>Oops!* You did not agree to our Terms of Employment! Click on the back arrow to go back</p>");
* }
* else {
* *
$from_name = stripslashes($_POST['from_name']);
$from_email = stripslashes($_POST['from_email']);
$to_email = stripslashes($_POST['to_email']);
$firstname = stripslashes($_POST['firstname']);
$lastname = stripslashes($_POST['lastname']);
$phone = stripslashes($_POST['phone']);
$fax = stripslashes($_POST['fax']);
$address = stripslashes($_POST['address']);
$address2 = stripslashes($_POST['address2']);
$state = stripslashes($_POST['state']);
$city = stripslashes($_POST['city']);
$zip = stripslashes($_POST['zip']);
$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);
$available = stripslashes($_POST['available']);
$livein = stripslashes($_POST['livein']);
$overnights = stripslashes($_POST['overnights']);
$travel = stripslashes($_POST['travel']);

mysql_close($cnx);*
header("location: http://www.thenannygroup.com/verify.php");
}
?>
I thought it was just unescaped quotes on line 96, but i tried to escape them, and it made no difference.
you guys see anything, or have a better direction to point me in?
Thanks
Croix

This can be because of the header info is not correct

anything in there catch your eye? The header info is from the tutorial i was working with.
it said that the header info was critical when sending an attachment, and that was the working headers that were posted.

Croix,
You forgot a semi-colon at the end of line 93. Anytime you get an unexpected t-string, just look at the previous few lines above your error and 90% of the time its a forgotten semi-colon.
Regards.

Inet - solved that problem. Thank you.
However, now when I visit the page, it instantly redirects me to the page listed in my header, which should not until the form is submitted.
here is the updated code:
PHP Code:
<?php
function sendMail() {
if (!isset ($_POST['to_email'])) { //Oops, forgot your email addy!
die ("<p>Oops! You forgot to fill out the email address! Click on the back arrow to go back</p>");
}
else {
$from_name = stripslashes($_POST['from_name']);
$from_email = stripslashes($_POST['from_email']);
$to_name = stripslashes($_POST['to_name']);
$to_email = stripslashes($_POST['to_email']);
$firstname = stripslashes($_POST['firstname']);
$lastname = stripslashes($_POST['lastname']);

$fp = fopen($resume, "rb"); //Open it
$data = fread($fp, filesize($resume)); //Read it

Hi Croix,
You've forgot to call sendMail() function. You code now just puts the data into DataBase thru the Enter_New_Entry function redirects you to verify.php. And if you have posted the whole code it will not work because you are setting $firstname, $lastname variables in sendMail() function.
This is how you code should looks like:
PHP Code:
<?
//// functions ///////////////////////////////////////
function sendMail() {
if (!isset ($_POST['to_email'])) { //Oops, forgot your email addy!
die ("<p>Oops! You forgot to fill out the email address! Click on the back arrow to go back</p>");
}
else {
$from_name = stripslashes($_POST['from_name']);
$from_email = stripslashes($_POST['from_email']);
$to_name = stripslashes($_POST['to_name']);
$to_email = stripslashes($_POST['to_email']);
$firstname = stripslashes($_POST['firstname']);
$lastname = stripslashes($_POST['lastname']);
$phone = stripslashes($_POST['phone']);
$fax = stripslashes($_POST['fax']);
$address = stripslashes($_POST['address']);
$address2 = stripslashes($_POST['address2']);
$state = stripslashes($_POST['state']);
$city = stripslashes($_POST['city']);
$zip = stripslashes($_POST['zip']);
$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);
$available = stripslashes($_POST['available']);
$livein = stripslashes($_POST['livein']);

OK, so i made a few changes, and now the page shows up, and i can fill out the form, and when I submit, it takes me to the page in my header, like it should, IF i comment out the die line. If it stays in, then the error shows up on the page instantly
Also, the information is added to my database properly.
However, I do not receive the email
updated code:
PHP Code:
<?
//// functions ///////////////////////////////////////

die ("<p>Oops! You did not agree to our terms! Click on the back arrow to go back</p>");

Croix, what error appears on the page?
And solomongaby, is right. It's better to use phpmailer if you want to send more complex emails. Maybe mail() function fails because of SMTP server you are trying to use. Ini_set for SMTP, smtp_port and sendmail_from is for windows only and your site is seems to be running on Linux. Try to comment these lines.

UPDATE
The code is slightly different now, and now the problem i am having is a different one. Now, the page displays, and when I submit it, the information is written to the database properly. I also receive an email, but there is no text in the email, and there is a blank 0Kb mime-type file attached. Here is a screen shot of the email.
and here's the code:
PHP Code:

OK, i have created another version to try and implement the phpmailer class. you might be able to tell, I dont really know what im doing with this.
from the phpmailer site, i learn that I have to have access to the include directory, or tell the script where to find it.
I dont think i have access to the include directory, so I uploaded the folder to my server, and here is what my code looks like.
I cant get past this error right now:
Warning: require(class.phpmailer.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/******/public_html/thenannygroup/apply_inprogress4.php on line 5
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'class.phpmailer.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/******/public_html/thenannygroup/apply_inprogress4.php on line 5
