nicsnow Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I thought I had this cracked yesterday - but I've been staring at it for too long now and the answer's probably staring at me in the face but I can't see it!

aschk Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I hate to say it but you're not actually echo'ing anything out... so you should at least get some html source Also, you're writing your meta refresh tag into the <body> of the html document, when it should be placed in the <head> section (that's if you want the refresh to work...) Therefore, my questions are: 1) what does the resultant html source look like (you can check this using any modern browser). 2) do you want to redirect to another page on success? 3) if this page doesn't actually display anything why are you bothering to output any html at all, as there are other ways to redirect Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121394-solved-php-form-processing-error/#findComment-625917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The posted code contains the following error - Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in your_file.php on line 24 When learning php, developing php code, or debugging php code, always turn on full php error_reporting (E_ALL or the equivalent integer value when in a .htaccess file) and set display_errors on in the master php.ini, a .htaccess file (when php is running as an Apache server module), or a local php.ini (when php is running as a CGI wrapper) to get php to help you. Fatal parse errors prevent a script from running so putting any error_reporting or display_errors settings in a script has no effect for parse errors.

nicsnow Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi Ken this is one of many forms (the others all work!) as it is used by foreign students I have to keep the format the same and some of the other forms have more than one correct answer hence the check boxes.
