Error in contact script

I am making a contact script and I put a code into this script where he can read the users login name and e-mail adress and that gives the error.

 

Here is the script: (He gives an syntax error on the last line)

<?php
if(!empty($_SESSION['LoggedIn']) && !empty($_SESSION['Username']))
{
 ?>

Username:<input type="text" value="<?php echo  $_SESSION['Username'];?>" id="username"/><br/>
Email: <input type="text" value="<?php echo  $_SESSION['EmailAddress'];?>" id="email"/>
<?php
/* Set e-mail recipient */
$myemail  = "[email protected]";

/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$yourname = check_input($_POST['yourname'], "Enter your name");
$subject  = check_input($_POST['subject'], "Write a subject");
$email    = check_input($_POST['email']);
$website  = check_input($_POST['website']);
$likeit   = check_input($_POST['likeit']);
$how_find = check_input($_POST['how']);
$comments = check_input($_POST['comments'], "Write your comments");

/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))
{
    show_error("E-mail address not valid");
}

/* If URL is not valid set $website to empty */
if (!preg_match("/^(https?:\/\/+[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/i", $website))
{
    $website = '';
}

/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */
$message = "Hello!

Your contact form has been submitted by:

Name: $yourname
E-mail: $email
URL: $website

Like the website? $likeit
How did he/she find it? $how_find

Comments:
$comments

End of message
";

/* Send the message using mail() function */
mail($myemail, $subject, $message);

/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */
header('Location: thanks.htm');
exit();

/* Functions we used */
function check_input($data, $problem='')
{
    $data = trim($data);
    $data = stripslashes($data);
    $data = htmlspecialchars($data);
    if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
    {
        show_error($problem);
    }
    return $data;
}

function show_error($myError)
{
?>
    <html>
    <body>

    <b>Please correct the following error:</b><br />
    <?php echo $myError; ?>

    </body>
    </html>
<?php
exit();
}
?>

your function show error at the end is using a variable named $myError - I cant see where, from the code given, that variable is actualy declaired.  Also - are you absoloutly certain you want to run exit(); from within the function (not that it's a problem, just something that's worth thinking about)?

 

P.S. - the ACTUAL error message is always appreciated  ;D

you have to edit this part

 

Code: [select]

 

/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */

$message = "Hello!

 

Your contact form has been submitted by:

 

Name: $yourname

E-mail: $email

URL: $website

 

Like the website? $likeit

How did he/she find it? $how_find

 

Comments:

$comments

 

End of message

";

 

to this

 

Code: [select]

/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */

$message = "Hello!

 

Your contact form has been submitted by:

 

Name: " . $yourname ."

E-mail: " . $email ."

URL:" . $website ."

 

Like the website? $likeit

How did he/she find it?" . $how_find ."

 

Comments:" .

$comments . "

 

End of message

@Muddy_Funster it's there, look on line ~25 and ~67

 

@ZulfadlyAshBurn that's not the problem, it is legal syntax to have variables inside a string, as long as it is enclosed by double quotes (which it is).

 

Here are the problems:

 

  • The syntax error is: unexpected end. This is because you have a missing closing brace } for the first if statement if($_SESSION...). I think you want to add the missing closing brace after the inputs but inside the <?php opening tag.
  • When the above is fixed, the next problem is that you're not initialising the session so you won't have access to $_SESSION. You should call session_start() at the top of the script.
  • The next problem is you have some inputs at the top, but they aren't wrapped in a form. The need a <form> tag with an action set to a processing script.
