Zyzz

Hey guys, im so glad to join this community cuz im so lost!
I tried for the last 3 days to solve this ****in annoying "unexpected T_STRING", and didnt mange to do it!

so I addressed my question to some guy and he tried to help me, but his code didnt work as well.

please try and look at this, im so desperate 🙁

So this is the original code:
[signup form that connects the users to the database sql]:

<?php/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//                                                                             //
//  DO NOT COPY ANYTHING FROM HERE
SITE BY XXXXXXXX                     //
//                                                     //
//                                                                             //
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


include('config.php');


if(PAGE == 'none')
{
	include(parts . '/parts/header.php');
	$content = '<h2> Sign Up </h2>
<br />






<?php
ob_start();
?>
<html dir="rtl">
<head>
<title></title>


<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1255" />
</head>
<body>
<br><br>
<?php


$selcom = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `com` ORDER BY ID DESC");
$selcom = mysql_fetch_array($selcom);
?>
<center>
<?php
?>
<?php
if(empty($_POST['sub']))
{
?>
<form method="post">
<table>
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
</table>
</form>
<?php
}
else
{
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
ob_end_flush();
?>
<?php
?>
<br /> <br /> <br /> 	




include(parts . '/parts/footer.php');
}
else
{
	header('Location: pages/' . PAGE);
}
?>

it's supposed to insert to the page the footer & header php's, for the "design", and to add the form in the middle of the page. this is my goal..

so it's didn't work cuz:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

leads me to:

if(empty($_POST['sub'])){

SO what is the problem around here?
I did NOT miss anything, closed everyline as I should to..
I really dont know what to do..

Thanks to the helpers, REALLY BIG THANK YOU!

I don't know why it's so complicated.. it's just a ****in sign up form with few php's around it for the design .. that's all..

I couldn't find the "edit" buttom, so ill write it right here:
sorry for the "XXXXXX", I removed the original form's code from this when I showed it to the other guy and didnt want him to steal the code, and now I can't find the original one..
but it's not supposed to interrupt any of your ideas.

With the PHP tags I put around your code, look at it again with an eye on where everything "goes red". 😉

i'm sorry?
didnt understand u at all .. 🙁
there is any solution to this thing? or should I write it from the begininng in a different way?

First and foremost, you've removed one of the most helpful parts of the error message - the line number.

The comments at the top seem to have been destroyed. After commenting out line #4, the next syntax error would be the fact that the string that begins on line 16 is never closed (nor is the assignment statement ever terminated).

I didnt mention the line number cuz I brought the line itslef:

if(empty($_POST['sub'])){

that's why I didnt understand what "unexpected string" am I looking for?

any suggestions?

Read the second paragraph of my reply above.

EDIT: Further examination of the code you posted (which, by the way, doesn't output the error message you suggested you're getting) shows that much of the script has been corrupted or had random characters removed from random lines (or perhaps just entire lines altogether). Perhaps you should restore the entire file from a backup?

why can't I send u a PM? I would like to send u the original code I just restored it.

bradgrafelman

Why can't you post the code here for everyone to see so they can try to help as well?

(As to the ability to use private messaging, a spam protection feature requires that new users meet a small minimum post count before it is allowed. Regardless, I usually just delete private messages asking for help anyway - that's what the forums exist for, not private messages.)

Ok..

*sorry for the "XXXX" again, as I said I gave this guy my code but removed the "important" code lines.. so he wrote the code with the "XXXXXX"..

<?php
include('config.php');
