Here you try to start a block of PHP code within the heredoc. You can't do that.
Because you didn't show us the heredoc, most of the responses assumed you had broken out of PHP completely into HTML, which is why many of the solutions produced parse errors.

Again, you're trying to use PHP code inside a heredoc -- this one's solvable, though: as you just want the value of the variable, you can use {$_POST['firstname']} (which I notice you do elsewhere!).
Actually, since you use the heredoc's value once almost immediately after assigning it, I think you probably would be better breaking out into PHP for most of this, thusly:
if ($_POST['op']!='ds') {
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" class="info_request" >
<fieldset class="left">
<legend title="About You">About You</legend>
<p><label for="firstname"><span class="red">*</span> First Name: </label><br />
<input class="<?PHP
if ($error_msg) {echo "error"}
else {echo "normal"}
?>" id="firstname" name="firstname" type="text" value="<?php
echo $_POST['firstname'] ?>">
... etc. ...
<?php
} else if ($_POST["op"] == "ds") {
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
