php coding

[Raz!]

I have a problem with my php code, if anyone can figure it out, it would be highly appreciated!

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\wamp\www\register.php on line 9

Code:

<?php
require('config.php');

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

}else{

$form =
<form action="register.php" method="POST">    <<<<<--------THIS LINE
First Name: <input type="text" name="name" /><br />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="name" /><br />
Username: <input type="text" name="username" /><br />
Email: <input type="text" name="email1" /><br />
Confirm Email: <input type="text" name="email2" /><br />
Password: <input type="password" name="password1" /><br />
Confirm Email: <input type="password" name="password2" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Register" name="Submit" />
</form>
EOT;

echo $form;

}
?>
