contact form

The error is reported on line 70.  We have a code snippet here with only 16 lines.  Please post the entire code so we can see all of the line numbers. thanks.

hi Ray, thats the problem i have only this code!!!! shall i post the form design as well if that helps?

Got your error check your code:

$company_field = $_POST('company'); //used ('company') () bracket instead of []
$telephone_field = $_POST('telephone');/used ('telephone') () bracket instead of []

Select allOpen in new window

They seems like functions

must be

$company_field = $_POST['company'];
$telephone_field = $_POST['telephone'];

Hi ammartahir,

Okay, Can you attach your php file with thread...I will review and get back to you. Because you getting error display on line 70. But you posted program code only 16 lines.

Still there was mistake try using this code if possible post your form code also.

$to = "myemailaddress";
$subject = "This is an automated message from System.";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$company_field = $_POST['company'];
$telephone_field = $_POST['telephone'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
 
$body = "From: $name_field\n Company: $company_field\n Telephone: $telephone_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
 
echo "Message has been send to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
} else {
echo "Your message has not been sent";
}
?>

When there is a parse error with "unexpected" it usually means that somewhere earlier in the script there was a missing terminator - perhaps missing a right paren, or a semicolon.  But that said, if there is an error reported on line 70 and you only have 16 (or 18) lines of code, you are not running the script we are looking at here.  The script you are running has at least 70 lines of code.  There may be an error in the paths to the script you are testing.  Programmers commonly use "signal" notices to visualize information about their scripts.  For example, you might make the script write its name in the browser output with something like this:

echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

But that aside, try installing this version of the script (make the modifications that make sense for use in your environment).  If this script runs without errors, check your inbox and spam folder.  If there is still no message found, you will want to work with your server administrator to ensure that the server has the mail functions enabled.  The PHP.net web site may be helpful - definitely worth reading carefully!
