What's up with all the " and ; in beginning of some lines? Like

CODE
"<?php
}
"?>

Maybe i'm missing something obvious, but it doesn't look good.
CODE
<?php
}
?>


edit:
I think that is your problem, since error message is
QUOTE
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/bruno/public_html/mail.php on line 18


Try this maybe (haven't checked the rest for errors):
CODE
<?php

$youremail = "dave@bruno89.co.uk";

$subject = "Bruno89.co.uk Contact Form";

$thankyou = "contact.html";

if($email == ""){
?>
No email address added. Please go back.<br/>
<?php
}elseif($name == ""){
?>
No name added. Please go back.<br/>
<?php
}elseif($message == ""){
?>
No message added. Please go back.<br/>
<?php
}else{

$msg = ereg_replace("\\\'", "'", $message);
$msg = ereg_replace('\\\"', "\"", $msg);
$message1 = "from: $name\nemail: $email\nmessage:\n$msg1";

mail($youremail, $subject, $msg, "From: $email\r\nReply-to: $email\r\n");
?>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=<?echo $thankyou;?>">
<?php
}
?>

That's not so weird. You are checking if name, email and message are empty, but you don't retreive these variables from the form.
Add in the top (under <?php ):

CODE
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];


Haven't checked out the example site, but the php seems very incomplete.
