unexpected T_STRING - Error

[phpnewbieca]

I am receiving the following error:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xgasq39z/public_html/repair_upgrade.php on line 183

 

I have checked the code several times and I cannot find an error in the function below.

Please tell me what is wrong with this function.

It'd be helpful if you showed us where that line was, look at it. Either you're missing an endline or there is a string defined where the parameters do not allow.

[phpnewbieca]

you should see * 183 before 'email_message.=...'

I cant really spot anything particular... but instead of using all those strings for $email_message - try using heredoc syntax - it should resolve the problem and make it much more neat.

[mikesta707]

this line

$email_message.= "Multimedia: $Multimedia \t\t\t\t "Network Card: $Network_card \t\t\t\t Printer: $Printer\n";

 

should be

$email_message.= "Multimedia: $Multimedia \t\t\t\t Network Card: $Network_card \t\t\t\t Printer: $Printer\n";

Thanks, I will try it.
