vaska

interesting...i've even removed the email address completely from the "email_to" line and i still get a parse error at the same place...

i'm stumped...

thanks for the help...jv

jayant

did u comment or remove the line:

<----- PROBLEM IS HERE...????!!!!! ------->

the line is also a problem for PHP hence parse error
make it
//<----- PROBLEM IS HERE...????!!!!! ------->

or
/
<----- PROBLEM IS HERE...????!!!!! ------->
/

or simply remove it

vaska

no, that line is not in the code....i just inserted that when i put it online...jv

jayant

did u put the missing dot i pointed out.

give the the top 15 lines asis as they are right now. dont add anything byurself

vaska

hey, thanks jayant...here are the top 22 lines actually...jv

<?

$fileatt = "";

Originally posted by vaska

$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\" .
		"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
		" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

this is still the buggy part.

u need to use:

$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
		"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
		" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

vaska

no, it's not actually...

it's very weird...but when i cut and pasted that i took out that slash...so the code i'm using IS identical to what you have...

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING"

i've been playing with the lines...because i'm curious...and when i take out the blank lines the error message moves to a different place (not in the same place as before)...and when i add blank lines the same happens...i can't really find any predictable pattern to where the error will land next...

extremely frustrating...

thanks...jv

laserlight

post what you are now using, and the complete error message.
try not to leave out any lines, even blank lines.

vaska

ok...i'll try again...thanks...

error message = "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/vaskaco/public_html/mailer.php on line 8"

edit: a note...on about line 19..."Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . - this line does not show up properly on the page, but it DOES have the "\"...it's even there when i look at it as i edit...very weird...it IS there, just ignore that ommission by this web page...
