Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or

[ivagarfitt]

i am getting this:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in E:\waytostay.com\wwwroot\propinfo\owner_test.php on line 82

and line 82 is:

<td><input type="text" name="property-address" class="wide" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['property-address'])) echo stripslashes($_POST['property-address']); ?>" /></td>

tnx

[laserlight]

By itself that line looks okay. Chances are the error lies in the context, so include a few lines above line 82 so we can have a look.

ok, here is the code. I am so sory it is the very long one. This needs to be sticky multipage form, thing is that the whole form is done in one file and i am using code like

<?php
EOD;
  if ($step == 2) $form = <<< EOD
?>

to separate the pages.

part of the form:

<?php

  $conf_field_email = 'owner-email';   // the name of the form field containing the email address that will be used for sending a copy

  // script name
  $script_name = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

  // session stuff
  session_start();

  if (!$step) {
    $step = 1;   // default
    $form_data_tmp = array();
  }
  $step_next = $step + 1;

    }
  }
  if(!session_is_registered('form_data')) session_register('form_data');   // init session

  $email_cc = preg_replace('/[^\w\_\-\.\@]/', '', $email_cc);  // untaint email number 

  if ($step > $conf_forms) {   // email the form data at the last step
    $message = "form data:\n\n";

and this is using tigra form validator script.

if you have time i can attach the whole thing.

thank you sooo much for your help. 🙂

You have a heredoc string that is not properly closed and which contains PHP blocks. It looks like you want to include a PHP script instead.

[ivagarfitt]

where? can you show me that line?

[laserlight]

if ($step == 1) $form = <<< EOD

[ivagarfitt]

is it this one:

}
  if ($step == 1) $form = <<< EOD
?>

you think should be:

}
EOD;
  if ($step == 1) $form = <<< EOD
?>

[ivagarfitt]

no, this is not working. that is the code that is spliing this file on pages. further down i have

<?php
EOD;
  if ($step == 2) $form = <<< EOD
?>

any idea?

[laserlight]

To understand heredoc syntax, read the PHP manual entry on strings. Looking at the complexity of the text that you want to place into a heredoc string, I'd say that heredoc is not appropriate. That's why I suggested moving it out to another PHP script file, then having the current script include that script.

[ivagarfitt]

ok, now i see how this string work, picking up the data from the form from that step. and i understand that with linking other php but do i need it? can this be done some other way? i don't want to store this data, i just need to email them, and kep them on the form, only until broeser is not closed.

i mean idea is that clients who have more then 1 appartment after submitting go back to the first page and see already populated form with the last submited data.

although that is the second problem that i need to solved, that getting back to the first step.

[laserlight]

ok, now i see how this string work, picking up the data from the form from that step. and i understand that with linking other php but do i need it? can this be done some other way?

Yes. Instead of trying to construct one huge string at once, construct a short string, then append strings to it.

i mean idea is that clients who have more then 1 appartment after submitting go back to the first page and see already populated form with the last submited data.

That sounds like a good candidate for the use of sessions.

[ivagarfitt]

can you write like few lines example for the short strings, i just need to see the logic.

and for the second one, yes i know i am ussing sessions to populate, but only problem is now how to get back to first step, because steps are done with hidden fields and with 2 buttons at the last step, like, submit that goes to thank you page, and add more that should be go to first its just oooggghh. i took this form from guy who was here before, so it needs time to get his logic.

[laserlight]

can you write like few lines example for the short strings, i just need to see the logic.

Here is a cut down example of what you already have:

if ($step == 1) {
    $form = '<form action="' . $script_name . '" method="post" name="webform" id="webform">';
    // ...
    if (!(strcmp("", $_POST['property-city'])))) {
        $form .= 'selected="selected"';
    }
    // ...
}

[ivagarfitt]

ok, that is great. thanks a lot. I will do the change now, fingers cross.

speak to ya later...well after many hours looking at what i need to do 😉

[pduijves]

hi ivagarfitt, how's going?

could you please x-out the email numbers in the script in your post? we don't want any harvesters to get them on another spam list 😉

many thanks! Pieter

[pduijves]

thanks ivagarfitt.

ps: i saw that you are changing the script so values can be inserted back in the form, and you might want to escape these values to avoid xss, by for example htmlspecialchars()!

value="<?php if(isset($_POST['property_address'])) echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['property_address']);?>"

good luck!
