finally! i was plagued by "parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' " and found the answer on the zend list: remove the single and/or double quotes i had in $_REQUEST['email'], even though php.net specifies this syntax and the quotes work elsewhere in the script (no quotes works elsewhere in the script, too, so... bye-bye, quotes!)
