Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF

[ladygreen]

Hi.. Im new here, but read your forum alot!  I am having a PHP issue and getting an error.  Here is the script:

 

function check_referer($referers)

{

global $errors;

if (count($referers)) {

if (getenv('HTTP_REFERER')) {

$temp = explode('/', getenv('HTTP_REFERER'));

$found = false;

while (list(,$stored_referer) = each($referers)) {

preg_match if (preg_match('^' . $stored_referer . '$', $temp[2])) $found = true;

}

 

The RED line is the issue.  Driving me crazy!

preg_match  /*<-if that is really in your script, you need to remove it... */        if (preg_match('^' . $stored_referer . '$', $temp[2]))               $found = true;

Well, you have preg_match then if...

 

Also if you read the forum a lot you should know to use code tags.

I have had the same script running on a website for several years.  All of a sudden one day.... I started getting errors on it. They are below:

I asked a friend for help, and he put in the preg_match code.... then the only error I got was the one I started this post with.  This error is causing the forms not to work They do not send the form to the email.

The reason is explained in the sticky "ereg and "deprecated" error", which you can find in the "PHP regex" section.

Can anyone see anything wrong with this line?

 

<code>

preg_match  if (preg_match("~ '^' . $stored_referer . '$', $temp[2])~i");

</code>

Take a look at examples:

Good grief, I gave the answer in the first reply.  Maybe it needs a repeat, and/or clarification.

preg_match   /*<=====  if that is really in your script, you need to remove it...*/        if (preg_match('^' . $stored_referer . '$', $temp[2]))               $found = true;

 

Read the comment, look at where it is pointing.  If that "preg_match" really resides as the first line of your IF clause, then remove it, it is invalid syntax as it is a function call without arguments.
