PHP - Help With Horrible Coding Woes (the Mythical Unexpected T_endif)

Hi Everyone,

Please have a look at the code below the first set is from my contact form and the second is the function, it is a function that is passed a form variable in the form of an array and is also passed a form title variable.
Everything worked fine this morning but when I checked the functionality of it a few hours ago the mail function wasn't sending, although the logic was working.
I checked my spam filter and the emails weren't held up there.

Code: [Select]
require('../php_classes/TrueViewI.php');

include('../php_functions/functions.php');

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $error_message = processFormData($_POST, 'Home Inspections');
   
    if($error_message == 'Thank you, someone will contact you shortly.')
    {
        session_unset();
    }
}

//future
$keywords =
'';
//future
$meta_tags =
'';
//future
$left_column =
'';

$middle_column =

Hi all

Basically, I have a form which when done will calculate a quote for turf for given areas. Basically each time the user specifies an area it goes into an array, and they can add as many as they want, but the problem seems to be once submitted and it arrives back into the program, it isn't decoding so the multidimensional array is lost. What am I doing wrong here?

Full code below, thanks in advance

Code: [Select]
<?php // Framework

// Get the sections
$sections_array = base64_decode(unserialize($_POST['sections']));

// Build the rest of the array
foreach ($sections_array as $section) {

$sections[] = base64_decode(unserialize($section));
}

// Set the initial unit
$units = $_POST['units'];

// Do the new add
if ($_POST['a'] == 'add_section') {

// Add the new measure
if ((is_numeric($_POST['width'])) && (is_numeric($_POST['length']))) {

$sections[] = array('length' => $_POST['length'],
    'width' => $_POST['width']);
}
}

Hi, could someone please tell me why I'm getting unexpected $end  error in the following code? 

<?php
function documentType(){
echo <<<HEREDOC
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>   
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"              `              `     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>   
   }
HEREDOC;
?>

Just trying to do a basic query... not working and don't know why:

here is inserts.php:

<?php

$username="wormste1_barry";
$password="barry";
$database="wormste1_barry";

$CarName=$_POST['CarName'];
$CarTitle=$_POST['CarTitle'];
$CarPrice=$_POST['CarPrice'];
$CarMiles=$_POST['CarMiles'];
$CarDescription=$_POST['CarDescription'];

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

$query = "INSERT INTO tablename VALUES
('','$CarName','$CarTitle','$CarPrice','$CarMiles','$CarDescription');

mysql_query($query);

mysql_close();

?>

That parses the simple form of :

form.html:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

</HEAD>

<BODY>


<form action="inserts.php" method="post">
car Name: <input type="text" name="CarName"><br>

Car Description: <input type="text" name="CarDescription"><br>
<input type="Submit">
</form>

</BODY>

</HTML>

I get the error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/wormste1/public_html/tilburywebdesign/shop/FTPServers/barryottley/showroom/inserts.php on line 23

Don't know whats wrong?

Am I blind? I don't see the problem with this code. It says:

Upon running my code online I receive the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/a4542527/public_html/create.php on line 13

indicating that the semicolon (to the right of or die(mysql_error())) in the following code is in error:

create.php
<?php

     include 'connection.php';

     $name= $_Post['inputName'];
     $descrip= $_Post['inputDesc'];

     if(!$_Post['submit']){
     echo "Please fill out the review";
     header('Location: index.php');
     } else{
       mysql_query("INSERT INTO people (`id`,`name`,`descrip`)
                    VALUES(NULL, '$name', '$descrip')" or die(mysql_error());
     echo "Your review has been added";
     header('Location: index.php');
     
     }
?>

If I remove this semicolon and run the code, I receive this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/a4542527/public_html/create.php on line 14

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. 

(When this script runs it allows for two text boxes to be displayed.  After text is entered and submitted, the said text will be displayed on the screen. Below are the two other associated files that I'm using.)

index.php
<?php
   
      include 'connection.php';
   
      $query = "SELECT * FROM people";
   
      $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
   
      while ($person = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
   
      echo $person ['name'];
  
      echo $person ['descrip'];
  
      }
  
      ?>

connection.php
<?php
    $dbhost = 'mysql7.000webhost.com';
    $dbuser = 'a4542527_root';
    $dbpass = '*******';
    
    $db = 'a4542527_test1';
    $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
    mysql_select_db($db);

?>

Thank-you in advance for any help or pointer in the right direction.

Wondering what the heck is wrong with it, worked before i varied the error messages, had a pal check it out, he couldn't really spot anything wrong either, obviously were both being blind at what is missing, if someone would be kind enough to explain the segment of code that's causing the error is below.

if ($amount < 1);echo "You must enter the number of troops you wish to hire.";exit;}else{ if ($amount > $maxdef);echo "You cannot hire over your housing limit.";exit;}else{if ($amount = "");echo "You must enter the number of troops you wish to hire.";exit;else if ($HireCost > $CashOnHand);echo "You do not have enough cash on hand to hire these troops.";exit;()

Hi, i am getting the following error message, but everything seems ok in script...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /www/zxq.net/htdocs/admin/includes/functions.php on line 27

This is the code snippet:

$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO categories VALUES(null,'$cName','$cDesc')") or die(mysql_error());
}

Hi,
I have a basic php code that allows the user to search and display data from a database. I have searched and searched the entire code for errors, but I cannot find any.  When I try to run the code (do a search) it gives me this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting ',' or ';' on line 99

This is my line 99:

I am completely new to php. If anyone could give me a hint I'd greatly appreciate it...
 

Any idea why I'm getting this error? 

Line of code producing error:
