unable to echo message properly

Hi, I am able to echo var_dump name and email, however when i add message , the entire page goes blank. This is the section of my html code on the contact form.

<form method="post" action="contact-process.php"> <table> <tr> <th> <label for="name">Name</label> </th> <td> <input type ="text" name="name" id="name"> </td> </tr> <tr> <th> <label for="email">Email</label> </th> <td> <input type ="text" name="email" id="email"> </td> </tr> <tr> <th> <label for="message">Message</label> </th> <td> <textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea> </td> </tr> </table> <input type="submit" value="send"> </form>

And this is the code for my contact-process.php

<?php echo 'Tan'; var_dump($_POST); $name = $_POST["name"]; echo $name; $email = $_POST["email"]; echo $email; /$message = $_POST["message"] echo $message;/

?>

It runs perfectly until i uncomment the message variable. I don't understand whats wrong. Help
