[Abalone]

Im getting an error I dont understand

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_NEW in /home/content/f/t/p/ftpcarrie/html/mail/class.SimpleMail.php on line 78

here is the code:

}

if (!mail ($this->to,$this->subject,$this->message,$this->headers)) {
throw new Exception('Sending mail failed');
return FALSE;
} else {
return TRUE;
}

[HeyRay2]

What version of PHP are you running?

I believe that only PHP5 has exception handling.

[Abalone]

I called my hosting company and they assure me that they have PHP 5, but if I dont have it what could I do to make this statement work with 4?

Thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate it alot.

[HeyRay2]

Before we go changing code, let get 100% sure on your PHP version.

Create a php script with the following code:

[code]
<?php

// Show information for your PHP installation
phpinfo();

?>
[/code]

...upload it to the root of your website as [b]info.php[/b] (or something similar), and then run it from your browser.

Let us know what PHP version it reports, and any settings that deal with error and exception handling.

Ok i talked to the hosting guys again, and they say I have to add 5 at the end of my extentions.  So I did that and now im getting a completley new error

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/f/t/p/ftpcarrie/html/mail/class.SimpleMail.php5:66) in /home/content/f/t/p/ftpcarrie/html/mail/admin_transact.php5 on line 80

So i check around, I promise I try to figure this out before I ask hehe,  and It says that this error generally means whitespace at the end and beginning of the <?php etc.  I looked and there is no white space so...

I dunno
Thank you so much


here is the code:

[HeyRay2]

Comment out this line in your [b]admin_transact.php[/b] file, and post back if you still get the header error:

[code=php:0]
header('Location: admin.php');
[/code]

[b]NOTE:[/b] You may be stuck at a blank page when you comment this out, but this will get us on the right track on what is causing your header error.

;)

[Abalone]

Yep, That works, no header error but im on a blank page.

[Abalone]

I just wanted to say thanks to you Heyray, you are a PHP king

[Abalone]

Im just checkin in

[Ninjakreborn]

for one they are retarded, you never need anything other than .php, as for your problem, the blank page, based on your php.ini settings can be caused by your error handling setup, like he said get the info.php file up and running, and then send a link to the page, so we can look at your error handling information.

[Abalone]

Ok,

here is the one with just .php
