error message:Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ']' in C:\Apache2\htdocs\inputvalidation.php on line 19

 

this is an example I am using to learn PHP and I am getting the above error as a result of running this example. could you please tell me why I am getting this error.

 

input validation code:

<?php

if (isset($_POST["submit"'])) {

$firstname = $_POST["firstname"];

$lastname = $_POST["lastname"];

if (!empty($firstname) && !empty($lastname)) {

Header("Location: inputsuccess.php");

}

else {$error = true;}

}

?>

if (isset($_POST["submit"'])) {

 

Removed the extra single quote, try this.

 

<?php

   if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
      $firstname = $_POST["firstname"];
      $lastname = $_POST["lastname"];
      if (!empty($firstname) && !empty($lastname)) {
      Header("Location: inputsuccess.php");
   }
   else {$error = true;}
   }
?>
