Parse Error

JSB

I've been staring at thi stoo long - apparently something here is creating a parse error...
Thansk fo rany help!
JB

function print_error($reason,$type = 0) {
global $version;
build_body($Mail List, $#FFFFFF, $#000000, $#0000FF, $vlink_color, $alink_color, $style_sheet);
// for missing required data
if ($type == "missing") {
?>

cgraz

have a look here

Variable names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores

You have variables that begin with a #

Also, your if statement doesn't have a closing bracket. I'm guessing you only posted the first few lines, but make sure you close it or that will also cause a parse error.

I appreciate the reply CGraz - learning here. Made a few changes, same line parse error, included more code this time.
Thanks -
JB

function print_error($reason,$type = 0) {
global $version;
build_body($MailList, $FFFFFF, $000000, $0000FF, $0000FF $0000FF);
// for missing required data
if ($type == "missing") {
?>
The form was not submitted for the following reasons:<p>
<ul><?
echo $reason."\n";
?></ul>
Please use your browser's back button to return to the form and try again.<?
} else { // every other error

what's the parse error say and which line is it on? the build_body() one?

Cgraz

JSB

Parse error: parse error in /users1/j/jeffboucher.com-06332/public_html/JBmail.php on line 56

Thanks CGraz!

cgraz

which is line 56?

JSB

build_body($MailList, $FFFFFF, $000000, $0000FF, $0000FF $0000FF);

Oops - sorry... that would of been helpful..

cgraz

The problem may be that you're calling a function within another function. Not sure, I've never attempted that, but can you work around it so you don't need to call build_body() within your other function?

Hmmmm...I'll work with that and see what happens.
Thanks - I'll report back. Learning this makes my hair hurt... 🙂
Cheers

Maybe this causes your parse error:
build_body($MailList, $FFFFFF, $000000, $0000FF, $0000FF, $0000FF);
You forget to place a ',' after the variable $_0000FF.

Well, the parsing error just keeps being pushed down the page -
SO....... I'm just going to clean the slate and start with a fresh deck...
I'm starting to feel like a moth around the back porch light......🙂
Thanks everyone!
Onward thru the fog.......

could you possibly show the rest of the code? there might be a link error... and whats with those variables beginning with a # ?
