Greetings:
I sometimes use a PHP-based online form generator called PHPForm. The form passes the data off to a file called process.php, which, depending on what you specify when you're designing the form on the front end, can e-mail the results of the form input.
In the e-mail section of process.php in one of my forms, there is the following:
$where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));
$message="userid: ".$userid."
realname: ".$realname."
gamertag: ".$gamertag."
birthdate: ".$birthdate."
location: ".$location."
education: ".$education."
occupation: ".$occupation."
familyinfo: ".$familyinfo."
favemovies: ".$favemovies."
favebooks: ".$favebooks."
favefoods: ".$favefoods."
favemusic: ".$favemusic."
otherfaves: ".$otherfaves."
consoleownedplanned: ".$consoleownedplanned."
timesarrested: ".$timesarrested."
hobbies: ".$hobbies."
mostfamousmet: ".$mostfamousmet."
somethingnotknown: ".$somethingnotknown."
motto: ".$motto."
favequote: ".$favequote."
linkpic1: ".$linkpic1."
linkpic2: ".$linkpic2."
linkpic3: ".$linkpic3."
";
This is the information that gets e-mailed to me when someone submits a form.
From this information, I manually generate a web page by pasting the values of the variables into an HTML template I have. Because this is tedious, I wanted to replace what's above with this:
$where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));

In other words, I want process.php to e-mail me the raw html, with the values already plugged in, that I need to create the web page.
The problem is that I get a parse error:
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/../../phpform/use/vgr/process.php on line 35" (I am disguising the exact URL)
Line 35 starts with this:
$message="<TABLE id=table1 width="100%" border=1>
I assume that my syntax is just incorrect and that I need to use something - an escape character, maybe? - to get the php file to just send me the LITERAL, RAW HTML that follows.
Can you help a n00b?
Thanks,
jb
