error code - 2 more opening braces than expected

[Oscar11]

I am new to php.  Please advise me where I am going wrong.

 

<?php

if ($_POST ['formsubmit']  == 'submit')

          {

// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED

    $email_to = "xxxxxxxxxxxx";

    $email_subject = "Enquiry Form";

 

          function died($error) {

Did the code get cut off? Or are you just wondering about the errors caused by the missing closing brackets?

 

<?php
if ($_POST ['formsubmit']  == 'submit') {
    // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
    $email_to = "xxxxxxxxxxxx";
    $email_subject = "Enquiry Form";
 
    function died($error) {
    }
}
?>

Have tidied up form and found some missing parenthese.  Form seems to be working but i do want to highlight the fields that don't get filled in.  How do I do this please?

 

 

php

if ($_POST ['formsubmit']  == 'submit')

          {

// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED

    $email_to = "xxxxxxxxx";

    $email_subject = "Enquiry Form";

          function died($error) {

         

// your error code can go here

        echo "We're sorry, but there were errors found with the form you submitted.<br />";

        echo $error."<br /><br />";

        echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";

                   die();

    }

 

// validation expected data exists

if (!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||

          if (!isset($_POST['last_name']) ||

         if (!isset($_POST['home_address']) ||

        if (!isset($_POST['post_code']) ||

if (!isset($_POST['is_the_student_resident_at_this_address']) ||

        if (!isset($_POST['email']) ||

        if (!isset($_POST['mobile_number']) ||

        if (!isset($_POST['students_first_name']) ||

        if (!isset($_POST['students_last_name']) ||

        if (!isset($_POST['subject_required']) ||

        if (!isset($_POST['level_of_subject']) ||

        if (!isset($_POST['nature_of_help_required'])) {

        if (!isset($_POST['able_to_travel']) ||

                   died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');     

    }

 

    $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required

    $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required

    $home_address = $_POST['home_address']; // required

    $post_code = $_POST['post_code']; // required

  $is_the_student_resident_at_this_address =       $_POST['is_the_student_resident_at_this_address']; // required

    $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required

    $mobile_number = $_POST['mobile_number']; // required

    $students_first_name = $_POST['$students_first_name']; // required

    $students_last_name = $_POST['$students_last_name']; // required

    $subject_required = $_POST['subject_required']; // required

    $level_of_subject = $_POST['level_of_subject']; // required

    $nature_of_help_required = $_POST['nature_of_help_required']; // required

     $able_to_travel = $_POST['able_to_travel']; // required

         

// create email headers

$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".

'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .

'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

header( "Location: http://www.tfeethowsthis.webspace.virginmedia.com/thankyou.html" );

}

else

{

         

$body = " From: $title_field\n\n Your_first_name: $your_first_name_field\n\n Your_second_name: $your_second_name_field\n\n Your_home_address: $your_home_address_field\n\n Post_code: $post_code_field\n\n Email: $email_field\n\n $landline_number\n\n Mobile_phone: $mobile_phone_field\n\n Subject_required: $subject_required_field\n\n Level_of_study: $level_of_study_field\n\n Name_of_school: $name_of_school_field\n\n Nature_of_help: $nature_of_help_required_field\n\Able_to_travel: n $able_to_travel_field\n\n ";

By "highlight the fields", do you mean that you don't those fields (the ones which haven't been completed) included in the email? If so, you can use isset():

<?php
//...
 
$body  = " From: $title_field\n\n Your_first_name: $your_first_name_field";
if(isset($your_second_name_field)) { $body .= "\n\n Your_second_name: $your_second_name_field"; }
$body .= "\n\n Your_home_address: $your_home_address_field\n\n Post_code: $post_code_field\n\n Email: $email_field\n\n $landline_number\n\n Mobile_phone: $mobile_phone_field\n\n Subject_required: $subject_required_field\n\n Level_of_study: $level_of_study_field\n\n Name_of_school: $name_of_school_field\n\n Nature_of_help: $nature_of_help_required_field\n\Able_to_travel: n $able_to_travel_field\n\n ";
?>

 

 

Also, when posting code to the forum in the future, please surround the code with

tags. It makes the code and your post easier to follow.
