[RESOLVED] FormMail.php 5.0 parse error! HELP!!!

justinhawley

Hello!

I am using FormMail.php 5.0 successfully on my UNIX server.

I have a client who has a Windows box and has installed PHP onto it. PHP in many cases seems to be working with other test scripts, but when I try to run the FormMail.php on the Windows box I get the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in C:\wamp\www\ASCS\public_html\formmailcontact.php on line 421

We have no idea what is happening, and I don't believe the script is missing any brackets. The only thing I changed (and then tested on both systems with the same results ) is changing the <? to <?php. I don't believe that has an affect.

Is there a php ini issue here I'm not seeing? The windows Apache and php installs are brand new and I could use some help! Thank you!

Thank you!
Justin.

This usually means you're missing a terminator of some sort somewhere in the script, such as a ")", "}", or a closing quote, and then reaching the end of the script while the parser is waiting for some command or block to be terminated. I don't have any "silver bullet" for finding such bugs, other than using an editor with syntax highlighting (which can help show unclosed quotes) and to carefully indent the code in a consistent manner to help keep track of your brackets.

If you attach the .php script (probably have to rename it to .txt) I'd be glad to take a quick look at it for you.

Thanks guys! I actually just found it out. I didn't realize that the script codes in and out of php. I had changed the <? to <?php at the top, but didn't check the middle.

Thanks for your replies!

Justin.
