I have some problem with this damn code

[Rezaa]

Hey guys,

 

I wrote a code but I have got an error.

Please take a look and help me.

 

<?php
require "header.php";

$department = array ('Manager' => 'Manager',
                     'Sales' => 'Sales Unit',
					 'Support' => 'Technical Support unit',
					 'Info' => 'Info unit');


   
if ($_POST['_submit_check']) {
	     
     if ($form_errors = validate_form()) {
	      show_form($form_errors);
	 } else {
	      process_form();
     }
} else {
     show_form();
    }
//End


//Show form function
function show_form($errors = '') {
     
	 if ($_POST['_submit_check']) {
	      $defaults = $_POST;
	 } else {
	      $defaults = array ('name'    => '',
		                     'email'   => '',
							 'subject' => '',
							 'comment' => '');
	 }

	 //errors if any
	 if ($errors) {
	      $error_text = "<ul><li class='errors'>";
		  $error_text .= implode("</li><li class='errors'>",$errors);
		  $error_text .= "</li></ul>";
	 } else {
	      $errors_text = '';
	 }

      echo '<form method="post" action="'. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] .'">';
?>
    Department <select name="dep">
	  <?php foreach($GLOBAL['department'] as $val => $choice) {
	     echo "<option value=\"$val\">$choice</option>\n";
	  ?>
	  </select> 
<?php echo 'FullName <input type="text" name="name" value ="'. htmlspecialchars($defaults['name']) .'" />'; ?>
<?php echo 'Email <input type="text" name="email" value ="'. htmlspecialchars($defaults['email']) .'" />'; ?>
<?php echo 'Subject <input type="text" name="subject" value ="'. htmlspecialchars($defaults['subject']) .'" />' ?>
<?php echo 'Comment <textarea name="comment">'. htmlspecialchars($defaults['comment']) .'</textarea>'; ?>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
	<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset" />
	<input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1" />
  </form>
<?php	  
} //show_form() function finished

 // This function will check the entered values and returns true or false
    function validate_form() {
         	     
	 $errors = array();
	  //Validating name
	 if (! trim($_POST['name'])) {
	      $errors[] = "Please enter your name.";
	 } elseif (strlen(trim($_POST['name'])) < 3) {
	      $errors[] = "Please enter a valid name.";
	 }
	 //Validating email
	 if (! trim($_POST['email'])) {
	      $errors[] = "Please enter your email address.";
	 } elseif (strlen(trim($_POST['email'])) < 7) {
	      $errors[] = "The email address you entered is too short.";
	 } elseif (! preg_match('/^[^@\s]+@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,}$/i',$_POST['email'])) {
	      $errors[] = "Please enter a valid email address.";
     }
	 //Validating subject
	 if (! trim($_POST['subject'])) {
	      $errors[] = "Please enter a subject.";
	 }
	 //Validating comment 
	 if (! trim($_POST['comment'])) {
	      $errors[] = "Please enter your comment.";
	 }

	 return $errors;
    } //Validate_form() function finished
         

	 function process_form() {
	      
		  $thanks = "Thank you ".$_POST['name'].",<br />Your message has been sent to the ".$_POST['dep']." successfuly. We will contact you ASAP."; 


	         $link = new mysqli ("localhost","root","","x");
		 $link -> query ("CREATE TABLE contact (dep VARCHAR(30),name VARCHAR(50),email VARCHAR(50),subject VARCHAR(100),comment VARCHAR(1000))");
		 $stmt = $link -> prepare ("INSERT INTO contact VALUES(?,?,?,?,?)");
		 $stmt -> bind_param ("sssss",$dep,$name,$email,$subject,$comment);

		 $dep = $_POST['dep'];
		 $name = $_POST['name'];
		 $email = $_POST['email'];
		 $subject = $_POST['subject'];
		 $comment = $_POST['comment'];

		 $stmt -> execute();

		 $stmt -> close();
		 $link -> close();

	}   
		  	
    require "footer.php";
  	     	
?>

 

I have got this error! :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in E:\EasyPHP\www\x\contact.php on line 178

 

It's strange

Are you sure you have closed all of your conditional statements? You'll get that error if you miss a "}".

[andrewgauger]

if ($_POST['_submit_check']) {

   

    if ($form_errors = validate_form()) {

      show_form($form_errors);

} else {

      process_form();

    }

} else {

    show_form();

          }

    }

I found it.

You were right Pawn. Thanks a lot

foreach($GLOBAL['department'] as $val => $choice) {
echo "<option value=\"$val\">$choice</option>\n"; }

 

if ($_POST['_submit_check']) {

   

    if ($form_errors = validate_form()) {

      show_form($form_errors);

} else {

      process_form();

    }

} else {

    show_form();

          }

    }

 

Thanks andrew

but that conditional statement is closed correctly

You should use isset() when checking variables that might not exist when your code is executed.

 

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