please do help.i would be very thankful for u.

Try running it in debug mode, and it will show you the line as well as perhaps a slightly more useful error message.

Line 17 it refers to is the { after the form class declaration so is of no help.

You've made a number of assumptions in your code, so, it could be any number of issues.
