Hey everyone. I just got my server up and running and I programed my database, or so I thought. I tried uploading it and running it but my index.php gives me "syntax error, unexpected $end in index.php on line 127". My code is below. Can anyone help?? Thanks!

Just some small errors in placements of your php open and close tags you have some php code outside of the tags, and some HTML tags in wrong spots.: change the end to this and it should work for you.

<tr><td colspan="2" align="left">
<input type="checkbox" name="remember" <? 
 
if( $form->value("remember") != "" )    
{
        echo "checked";

    </table>

Ahh thank you. That fixed it up. But now I have another error. Its in my file that creates a PHP session.

It gives me this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in session.php on line 59

And line 59 looks like this:

$this->username  = $_SESSION['username'] = GUEST_NAME;

Any suggestions? Thanks.

It looks like the GUEST_NAME is supposed to be a variable... if so you need a $ in front of it.

$this->username  = $_SESSION['username'] = $GUEST_NAME;

The line numbers given for PHP parse errors are usually incorrect. Most likely the parse error occurred on the line just before the one given (line 58).


The code:

$this->username  = $_SESSION['username'] = GUEST_NAME;

looks ok. GUEST_NAME should be a constant. The only error that could be thrown by that line is if GUEST_NAME is not defined. It would be an E_NOTICE level error though which means its a precaution.

ok but i dont think so its because of the defined variable. if you think it is because it is not defined then try to trap it :

if (defined('GUEST_NAME')) {
$this->username  = $_SESSION['username'] = GUEST_NAME;
}else{
   // place the event here
}

Same thing as before all your GUEST_NAME variables do not have a $ in front of them.

GliderPilot, GUEST_NAME is inteneded to be a constant. It is not a varaible.

The error is probably before line 59, as has already been mentioned.

My bad for repostng my suggestion I miss read the page. I saw the quote and though BareFoot posted that it had fixed it but she got same error elsewhere. Hence why I resuggested what I had mentioned earlier.

P.S. No need for the personal attacks I was just trying to help out. ;) I did mention that I THINK it is a variable if it is suppose to be a constant than I am odviosuly wrong. I agree that the error may be just before the quoted line.

You really think that was a personal attack? :eek:

probably there is a brace missing for an if else.

Try replacing your opening PHP tags with <?php instead of <?.

PHP short open tags are only available is specifically enabled in the configuration.

edit:

same for the <?= notation.

can anyone help me with this?...this is the error msg i get. this is my script

<?php

//'send me an email' script



 if ($_POST['submit'])
 {

    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $phone = $_POST['phone'];
    $request = $_POST['request'];
    $details = $_POST['details'];

if ($name&&$email&&$phone&&$request&&$details)//existance check

looks like your if statements are not being closed. make sure you close them properly i.e. whenever you have an open brace, {, it has a corresponding }. From a quick look you have 3 open braces without a matching closing brace.

hope that helps.
