If you haven't got it I'll make it clear, you need to add a semi-colon ";" at the end of line 86 ($name = $_POST["name']). What I've found is that sometimes the error might be on a line before the line that is given in the error message. I don't know how the error parsing etc works, but in general when you get an error, try looking at the line above as well.
