PHP Form Mailer Problems

When I click submit I get these errors

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ‘’ (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/hanken05/public_html/test/mailer.php on line 2

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/hanken05/public_html/test/mailer.php on line **3

**I followed the tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/web/form_mailer.htm

Thanks for any help!
