Exploding drop down values
<p>I posted a question about this earlier but now i have a new problem that I dont get. 
Here is the HTML:</p>

<pre><code> &lt;select name="contactname"&gt;
 &lt;option&gt;&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;option value="John Smith|Jsmith@email.com"&gt;John Smith&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Here is the error i get now that i made the changes on the Posting page. 
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING on line 48</p>

<p>Here is the Posting Page:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;

&lt;?php

$pickone = $_POST [pickone];
$dropone = $_POST [dropone];
$weight = $_POST [weight];
$length = $_POST [length];
$pallets = $_POST [pallets];
$pickupdate = $_POST [pickupdate];
$equipment = $_POST [equipment];
$loadtype = $_POST [loadtype];
$specialinformation = $_POST [specialinformation];
$commodity = $_POST [commodity];
$closetime = $_POST [closetime];
$deliverydate = $_POST [deliverydate];
$req = $_POST [req];
$contact = explode('|', $_POST[contactname]);


$header = "From: " . $contact[0] . " &lt;" . $contact[1] . "&gt;\r\n"; 
$subject= "New Load";
$from= "You";

$message = " 
Picks: $pickone
Drops: $dropone \n   
  PU Date: $pickupdate     Close Time: $closetime
 Del Date: $deliverydate \n
     Mode: $loadtype
Equipment: $equipment
   Length: $length
   Weight: $weight
  Pallets: $pallets
Commodity: $commodity \n

Requirements:
$req \n
Special Information: $specialinformation
Contact: $contactname[0]
";

mail("email.com", $subject, $message, $header");

?&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;Thank You&lt;br&gt;
&lt;input type="button" onclick="window.location.href='page.php';" value=" Post Another Load    " /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Please let me know what I'm missing because if i dont try to explode contactname it works fine. Thanks,</p>
