    The error it show when it runs is just syntax errors.. the line numbers.. can not paste on here.. so I just made those lines bold that have the issues.. it is only those few lines in bold that have syntax errors.. I am sure it is something simple like typo or something.. It is just that it worked fine before I added the connect script and now NO WORKY

    Well that actually did not work.. now I have three lines showing syntax errors.. Crap.. I really do not enjoy coding.. too detailed for a creative gal like me.. I am better a design, much better.. OK here is the whole code. In bold are the lines with the syntax errors.. //now send email to applications@aandstransportation.com $to = 'applications@aandstransportation.com'; $from = $_POST['ApplicantName']; // $status =

    Thanks so much.. so new at this.. years of modeling and simulation and graphic design and animation in this crappy market have led me to a PHP/MySQL developer job.. OMG do I have a TON to learn .. well thanks bunches!! Any suggestions on the editor? I hate that dreamweaver offers no real validation help. Thanks again, Tina
  4. TinaOConnell
    BTW.. if I remove the extra " in front of the second line.. 5 more lines show syntax errors.. and I triple checked the field names.. they are in there. I made no changes to this part of the code.. only a simply database mysql connect script at the top and a mysql insert function.
  5. TinaOConnell
    I have a database on one shared hosting plan and a form on the other.. that form was originally set to just email the details when filled out.. and worked perfectly until yesterday.. when I added some script at the top.. the script at the top was to connect to our database and then also automatically import some of the fields from the form. Now that that part is working the form has two lines showing "syntax error" They look right to me and I think I just need a set of eyes other than mine on these two lines to figure it out.. Here is a group of the code.. The two lines in BOLD are the ones with syntax errors per dream weaver.. HELP PLEASE!! . //now send email to apps@aandstransportation.com $to = 'applications@aandstransportation.com'; $from = '$_POST['ApplicantName']; // $status = $_POST['Project_status']; /* subject */ $subject = "Application For Employment Web Submission"; /* message */ $message = '<html> <head> <title>Application For Employment Web Submission</title> </head> <body> <p>Dear '.$to.',</p> <table> <tr> <td colspan="2">"'Employment Application Details:"</td> </tr><tr> <td>Applicant Name: </td><td>'.$_POST['ApplicantName'].'</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Date of Application: </td><td>'.$_POST['DateofApplication'].'</td> </tr><tr>
