[RESOLVED] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$name' (T_VARIABLE)

[tendemo]

Hi I m trying to play around with some code to get a grasp of how to insert a cookie so the browser can identify a user after sign up. However in my attempt I was met by the above mentioned error.

$name="";
$email="";
$msg_to_user="";
if ($_POST['name']!=""){
 include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
 $name= $_POST['name'];
 $email= $_POST['email'];
 
 $sql = mysql_query("SELECT*FROM users where email ='$email'");
 $numsRows = mysql_num_rows($sql);
 
 if(!$email) {
     $msg_to_user='<br/></br><h4><font color= "FF0000">Please input a Valid Email Address '$name' </font></h4>'
          } else if ($numRows > 0){
    $msg_to_user='<br/></br><h4><font color= "FF0000"> '$email' is already in the system </font></h4>'
} 
else {
    $sql_insert=mysql_query('INSERT INTO users (name,email)')
                            VALUES('$name','$email') or die (mysql_error())
    $msg_to_user='<br/></br><h4><font color= "FF0000">Thanks '$name' you have been added successfully</font></h4>'
    $cookie_name = "'$name'";
    $cookie_value = "$email";
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, time() + (86400 * 30), "/"); // 86400 = 1 day
$name="";
$email=""; 

Could someone kindly tell me what I might not be doing right ?
The line in question in the above code is

$msg_to_user='<br/></br><h4><font color= "FF0000">Please input a Valid Email Address '$name' </font></h4>' 

Thanks
