premiso Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It would make it a ton easier if you pointed out what line is 140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptsface12 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hello, Sorry; It's the form where it echo's out: echo ("<form method=\"POST\" action=\"$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];\"><center> Best Wishes, Ptsface12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs.punk Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hello, Sorry; It's the form where it echo's out: echo ("<form method=\"POST\" action=\"$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];\"><center> Best Wishes, Ptsface12 Don't use $_SERVER ['PHP_SELF']... http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/php-server-vars-not-safe-in-forms-or-links/ But to answer your question... Firstly you have three closing brakects two lines above 140 }}}... Secondly echo ("<form method=\"POST\" action=\"$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];\"><center> You added a semicolon at the end of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']...

Ptsface12 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hello, Thanks, but now I get the following problem: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/habbofea/public_html/v1/_content/add.php on line 135 Line 135: else { Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptsface12 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Is this because there's to many of something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOA Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Is this because there's to many of something? Or not enough of it's matching tag.. You probably needed that 3rd } that was referred to above. Try adding it back in and see if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptsface12 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nope, I still get errors unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOA Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nope, I still get errors unfortunately. K. Worth a shot. I just looked at your op, and line 140, when your echoing the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], since you're echoing it in double quotes, you don't need the single quotes inside the brackets so try echo "$_SERVER[php_SELF]" Posting the most recent code might help too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptsface12 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 hello, I don't quite get what your implying, could you put it into the following format please; echo ("<form method=\"POST\" action="whatyourimplying here"> Thanks for your help though!

premiso Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 To really answer your question, it is because you were including an associative array inside of the echo. The single quotes mess it up, in cases such as that use braces {} to include the variable. echo ("<form method=\"POST\" action=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}\"><center>"); WOuld have solved it.
