Public and private varibles

[DZINE]

I am getting this error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/website/public_html/mailing list/class.SimpleMail.php on line 4

here is the code.

<?php

class SimpleMail {
public $to = NULL;
public $cc = NULL;
public $bcc = NULL;
public $from = NULL;
public $subject = '';
public $body = '';
public $htmlbody = '';
public $send_text = TRUE;
public $send_html = FALSE;
private $message = '';
private $headers = '';

public function send($to = NULL,
$subject = NULL,
$message = NULL,
$headers = NULL) {
if (func_num_args() >= 3) {
$this->to = $to;
$this->subject = $subject;
$this->message = $message;
if ($headers) {
$this->headers = $headers;
}

} else {

if ($this->from) {
$this->headers .= "From: " . $this->from . "\r\n";
}
if ($this->cc) {
$this->headers .= "Cc: " . $this->cc . "\r\n";
}
if ($this->bcc) {
$this->headers .= "Bcc: " . $this->bcc . "\r\n";
}

if ($this->send_text and !$this->send_html) {
$this->message = $this->body;
} elseif ($this->send_html and !$this->send_text) {
$this->message = $this->htmlbody;
$this->headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$this->headers .= "Content-type: text/html; " .
"charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
} else {
$_boundary = "==MP_Bound_xyccr948x==";

$this->headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$this->headers .= "Content-type: multipart/alternative; " .
"boundary=\"$_boundary\"\r\n";

$this->message = "This is a Multipart Message in " .
"MIME format\n";
$this->message .= "--$_boundary\n";
$this->message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; " .
"charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$this->message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$this->message .= $this->body . "\n";
$this->message .= "--$_boundary\n";
$this->message .= "Content-type: text/html; " .
"charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$this->message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$this->message .= $this->htmlbody . "\n";
$this->message .= "--$_boundary--";
}
}

if (!mail($this->to,$this->subject,$this->message,$this->headers)) {
throw new Exception('Sending mail failed.');
return FALSE;
} else {
return TRUE;
}
}

}

?>

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or give me an alternative to public and private variables. I am try to build a mailing list script and when I try to create a new list I get this error.

thanks.

Which version of php are you using ?

Yep, agreed. Try phpMailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/) instead.
