    You're trying to open PHP tags within a PHP code block.  Drop the
nested <?php echo $subject; ?> and replace it with:

        '.$subject.'

    Thus:

        echo '<br/><br/>
            <form method="post" action="sendmail.php">
            <label for="subject">Subject of email </label><br/>
            <input id="subject" name="subject" type="text"
value="'.$subject.'"><br/>
