[SOLVED] Variable problem in validation script Please help?

garethhall · June 9, 2008

Hi guys,

Here is a validation script that i am working on and i am having trouble passing the one variable ($messageSend) I am not getting the $messageSend = "true" to pass even through the "$messageError = $approvedMessage;" right before it with in the same else statement is working fine? When I echo $messageSend the result is undefined? I know it a big script but the trouble area is in the script tags below

Please Help

Thanks

The problem is a syntax error here:

$messageSend == "true";

should be

$messageSend = "true";

MadTechie · June 9, 2008

thats too hard to read..

heres a clean version

i updated one line

$messageSend = "true"; // Changed == to =

EDIT:

Not really a syntax error but will not set the variable

Thanks Man such a small typo

How did you colour code the script so I can do it next time ?

G

MadTechie · June 9, 2008

Using the # Button

if you click the # button (aka code tags)

this will appear

without the spaces
then paste your code in
ie
[code ]
<?php
echo "this is PHP";
?>
and this is html
[/code ]

the result
[code]
<?php
echo "this is PHP";
?>
and this is html
