[SOLVED] Parse Error Unexpected '}' expecting ')'

phpnewbieca · October 23, 2009

I am a newbie and I do not understand why I keep receiving this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{', expecting '(' in contact_3.php on line 96

I have checked all the { and ) to see if i opened a { or ( without closing it to no avail.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong. The line the error is referring to is in the function Order(), see *** below.

<?php

// contact_3.php - processes contactform.html

$Date = date("D d M Y - H:i:s ");

if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

// Create Random Number

srand ((double) microtime( )*1000000);

$random_number = rand( );

$random_number = "confirmation_number";

$send_to = $_POST['send_to'];

$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];

$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];

$suffix = $_POST['suffix'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];

$comments = $_POST['comments'];

}

// Call Functions

Order();

Contact();

Verify_email_address();

Function Verify_email_address isn't closed, nor does it have ().

You're right. I guess I need to pay more attention to details. Thank you!

In the future when posting code please use

tags. Also, you don't need to post the entire code, just the surrounding lines from the error.

phpnewbieca · October 24, 2009

Mag,

Hmmmm. Code tags, good idea. I posted the entire code because i'm a newbie to php coding and i didn't know what i should post :shrug: .
