"Unexpected $end" error for form handling code

thepeccavi

I resolved this by re-creating the script... it runs smoothly now...

Thanks for all your help (as allways) it was promt and useful.....

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

I have created a form handling code that seems be OK even after checking it several times but it keeps coming up with this error:

(>> is the path to the file)

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in >>/index.php on line 31

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in >>/index.php on line 31

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in >>/index.php on line 31

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in >>/index.php on line 31

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in >>/index.php on line 245

This is my script... cna anyone see what's wrong?

<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$script = '<script type="text/javascript">' . \n . 'function message(){' . \n . 'alert(' . $message . ')' . \n . '}' . \n . '\</script\>';
echo $script;
?>
</head>


<body>
<!--PHP FORM HANDLING-->
<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){$name = $_POST['name'];
$user = $_POST['user'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$to = 'isaac.seymour@gmail.com';
$subject = 'ThePeccavi Comment';
trim($comments, '/n .. /r');
if(!isset($name)){
$message = 'Please enter a name/nickname.';
}
elseif(!isset($comments)){
$message = 'Please enter comments.';
}
else{
if(!isset($email)){
$email = $name . '@anonymous.co.uk';
}
$body = 'Name:' . $name . 'Comments:' . $comments;
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $body, 'From: $email','');
}
if($sent == 1){
$message = 'Message sent.';
}
?>

Thanks

PS. This is the only php code on the page... it is just above and below the "body" tag.

<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$script = '<script type="text/javascript">' . \n . 'function message(){' . \n . 'alert(' . $message . ')' . \n . '}' . \n . '\</script\>';
echo $script;
?>

Where did you close it the remainder below is closed but that one is left hanging.

Same error... still doesn't work new code:

<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$script = '<script type="text/javascript">' . \n . 'function message(){' . \n . 'alert(' . $message . ')' . \n . '}' . \n . '\</script\>';
echo $script;
}
?>
</head>


<body onLoad="javascript: message();">
<!--PHP FORM HANDLING-->
<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){$name = $_POST['name'];
$user = $_POST['user'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$to = 'isaac.seymour@gmail.com';
$subject = 'ThePeccavi Comment';
trim($comments, '/n .. /r');
if(!isset($name)){
$message = 'Please enter a name/nickname.';
}
elseif(!isset($comments)){
$message = 'Please enter comments.';
}
else{
if(!isset($email)){
$email = $name . '@anonymous.co.uk';
}
$body = 'Name:' . $name . 'Comments:' . $comments;
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $body, 'From: $name . $email\r\n','');
}
if($sent == 1){
$message = 'Message sent.';
}
?>

Put double quotes around your newlines.

"\n"

And you never close your first "if" block. Better code formatting will help you find stuff like that.

Make some effort to properly indent and format your code:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
	$script = '<script type="text/javascript">' . "\n"
		. 'function message(){' . "\n" . 'alert(' . $message . ')' . "\n"
		. '}' . "\n" . '\</script\>';
	echo $script;
}
?>
</head>
<body onLoad="javascript: message();">
<!--PHP FORM HANDLING-->
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
	$name = $_POST['name'];
	$user = $_POST['user'];
	$email = $_POST['email'];
	$comments = $_POST['comments'];
	$to = 'isaac.seymour@gmail.com';
	$subject = 'ThePeccavi Comment';
	trim($comments, '/n .. /r');
	if (!isset($name)) {
		$message = 'Please enter a name/nickname.';
	}
	elseif (!isset($comments)) {
		$message = 'Please enter comments.';
	}
	else {
		if (!isset($email)) {
			$email = $name . '@anonymous.co.uk';
		}
		$body = 'Name:' . $name . 'Comments:' . $comments;
		$sent = mail($to, $subject, $body, 'From: $name . $email\r\n','');
	}
	if ($sent == 1) {
		$message = 'Message sent.';
	}
}
?>
