Hi there - welcome to PHPBuilder! Two quick pointers:

• When posting PHP code, please use the board's [noparse]

  ..

  [/noparse] bbcode tags as they make your code much easier to read and analyze.

• There is a stickied thread dedicated to parse errors in this forum entitled Parse Error: syntax error. In the future, please post issues with parse errors as a reply in that thread.

As for your problem, take a look at line 4:

require_once($path.'/usr/local/php5/lib/php'; 

Note that the '(' parenthesis has no matching ')'. Also note that require_once doesn't require () parentheses, so you can either remove the unmatched opening '(' or add a closing ')' to resolve the parse error.

[Top_Dog_Design]

thank you for the quick reply but no it did not work, it just changed the error method.

Warning: require_once(/usr/local/php5/lib/php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Inappropriate ioctl for device in /home/content/r/s/t/rstrecker/html/onlinecalc/ProcessEnquiry.php on line 4

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/usr/local/php5/lib/php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/r/s/t/rstrecker/html/onlinecalc/ProcessEnquiry.php on line 4

Would the difference between a LINUX server and a UNIX server make any difference. This exact program works on my site (UNIX) but not on the clients site (LINUX). My site is http://www.topdogdesign.org/onlinecalc/index.php.

Any help greatly appreciated.

[bradgrafelman]

Er, wait a minute... why on earth are you trying to use [man]require_once[/man] on '/usr/local/php5/lib/php' ?

[Top_Dog_Design]

I did not write the code, just inherited it.

It did work. You had more than one error.

Warning: require_once(/usr/local/php5/lib/php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Inappropriate ioctl for device in /home/content/r/s/t/rstrecker/html/onlinecalc/ProcessEnquiry.php on line 4

"Inappropriate ioctl for device" is a new one. You might try and check if this is a directory, or a file (or if it even exists) --- I'm not sure if you can [man]include/man or [man]require/man an entire directory. All that being said, it may be that the path "/usr/local/php5/lib/php" is already in PHP's include path.

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/usr/local/php5/lib/php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/r/s/t/rstrecker/html/onlinecalc/ProcessEnquiry.php on line 4

This is a direct result of the previous error. Require() produces a fatal error for any error received. Include() is a tad more forgiving.

Would the difference between a LINUX server and a UNIX server make any difference. This exact program works on my site (UNIX) but not on the clients site (LINUX). My site is http://www.topdogdesign.org/onlinecalc/index.php.

It could very well make a difference. "/usr/local" is definitely a BSD-ish/Unixy style path; the php.ini files and include directories are probably somewhere else on Linux. /etc/ might be a place to check there (but I don't play with the Penguins much).

There's plenty other possibilities when migrating between servers as well. It's kind of a trick to make applications OS-agnostic 🙂

[bradgrafelman]

The solution is pretty simple: remove that require_once() statement, as it makes no sense. 🙂

[dalecosp]

I'll confirm that the "inappropriate ioctl" message is a result of attempting to include/require a directory instead of a file, per test here.

Certainly makes none as is ... I guess one might wonder if it was a cut/paste job gone terribly awry ...

And that error comes from here:

if(!isset ($_REQUEST['adminEmailId']) || $_REQUEST['adminEmailId'] == "") {
die ("Invalid Admin Email Id");
}

... so, does the form being submitted have a field named "adminEmailId"?

[Top_Dog_Design]

No it did not. I inherited this file.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much

Well, you will have to fix it somehow.

1. Get rid of that test block (I'd comment it out and do testing).
   OR
2. See if "adminEmailId" is in an included file (like "holder.php").
   OR
3. Add the variable at the top of the handler script file.
   OR
4. Request the variable from the person submitting the form.

Now, it appears that this variable was used to send a copy of the mail to someone else without it being CC'ed or BCC'ed during the original transaction. You've also commented that part out, so either option 1 or 3 sounds best, unless you find the variable included() somewhere else.
