Error message on server

StephanW

I had this error message come up when I tried to access my php contact form.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_EXIT, expecting ',' or ';' in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ayhigh/us/ay-high/contact.php on line 37

This is my contact formula:

Mixing single and double quotes. Parse error like this always means on the line OR ABOVE.

StephanW

sorry, I have no clue what you mean. This is my first thing with php.

gufmn

What Roger Ramjet means is you're using both single and double quotes to enclose your strings and they're not matched up right. The one place I can see after just glancing at your code is your echo statement just before you call the mail() function. Look at the syntax highlighting and you should see the problem.

What he meant by "on the line OR ABOVE" is the error is often not on the line number indicated but on the line above it.

StephanW

I see single quotations on it.

But on a slightly different one(I didn't write these up from the ground, they were free templates of someones actually functioning contact formula), I can see, but I don't get the message. try it at ay-high.us.ms/contact2.php
sorry, still in German, but I will rewrite it as soon as it works.

This is the link to the source text, red represents the info I have to fill in:http://www.karl-heinz-herrmann.de/Web-Design/Kontakt/Kontaktformular.php

I only changed the one line. But notice the syntax highlighting compared to yours?

Oh, copy paste messed up the allignment and I didn't feel like fixing it 🙂

StephanW

I tried it, bu this is the new error maeeage:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ayhigh/us/ay-high/contact.php on line 58

Roger_Ramjet

So which is line 58 then? Not a lot of good just posting the error message without the code. And don't expect us to count the lines either.

StephanW

it is </html>, the last line

gufmn

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say I bet there's no closing php tag.

?> <---- one of those.

StephanW

I took the time to learn some php, and I have a newer contact form (just got it). Thanks for the help, the script looks really wrong now, especially here:

echo "<p><b>Thank you! AY H.I.G.H.</b></p>";
    mail($schleier, $text, "Die Eingabe des Users lautete:
    Der User hat folgenden Vornamen angegeben: $vorname1
    Der User hat folgenden Name angegeben: $name1
    Die Email-Adresse des Users: $email1
    Folgende Anfrage hat der User gehabt: $anfrage1", "From:$email1", "-f $email1");

Big difference, if you have no clue compared to now(know some basic functions)
