I don't think your error message is indicative of this, but PHP /will/
choke on your lines that include array key references in them, such as:
$mailheaders .="Reply-To: $_POST['sender_email']\n";
In those cases, you need to either leave the quotes for the variable or
enclose the var in curly braces:
$mailheaders .="Reply-To: " . $_POST['sender_email'] . "\n";
$mailheaders .="Reply-To: {$_POST['sender_email']}\n";
I generally prefer the latter, but it's entirely up to the user.
Try fixing those and see if it still errors.
