steelwidow Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I'm trying to integrate visual confirmation into a comment script that I have. Location: http://pinnaclebowling.com/feedback.php As you can see all is looking good and I got the form integrated and the image is showing up. Now when you go and submit the comment this error comes up. Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/*******/public_html/comment/submitcomment.php on line 34 Here's my very small submitcomment.php page: <?php session_start(); if(($_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code']) && (!empty($_SESSION['security_code'])) ) { // Insert you code for processing the form here, e.g emailing the submission, entering it into a database. unset($_SESSION['security_code']); } else { // Insert your code for showing an error message here //Please set the following variables for your mysql database: $db_hostname = "localhost"; //usually "localhost be default" $db_username = "undergro_comment"; //your user name $db_pass = "comments"; //the password for your user $db_name = "undergro_comments"; //the name of the database /*MYSQL DATABASE CONNECTION/ TRACKING FUNCTIONS --------------------------------------*/ // connect to database $dbh = mysql_connect ($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_pass) or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ($db_name); $tuturl = $_POST["tuturl"]; $tutid2 = $_POST["tutid2"]; $name = $_POST["name"]; $url = $_POST["url"]; $email = $_POST["email"]; $message = $_POST["message"]; $sendcomment = mysql_query("INSERT INTO comments SET tutorialid='$tutid2', name='$name', url='$url', email='$email', comment='$message', date=now()"); if($sendcomment){ //header("Location: $tuturl"); echo 'Sorry, you have provided an invalid security code'; } ?> I don't know if the code is wrong or what... here's the two originals before i combined them into one submitcomment.php <?php //Please set the following variables for your mysql database: $db_hostname = "localhost"; //usually "localhost be default" $db_username = "undergro_comment"; //your user name $db_pass = "comments"; //the password for your user $db_name = "undergro_comments"; //the name of the database /*MYSQL DATABASE CONNECTION/ TRACKING FUNCTIONS --------------------------------------*/ // connect to database $dbh = mysql_connect ($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_pass) or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ($db_name); $tuturl = $_POST["tuturl"]; $tutid2 = $_POST["tutid2"]; $name = $_POST["name"]; $url = $_POST["url"]; $email = $_POST["email"]; $message = $_POST["message"]; $sendcomment = mysql_query("INSERT INTO comments SET tutorialid='$tutid2', name='$name', url='$url', email='$email', comment='$message', date=now()"); if($sendcomment){ //header("Location: $tuturl"); echo "<h1>Submission Successful</h1>"; echo "Your comment has been submitted. You will now be redirected back to the last page you visited. Thanks!"; echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='2;URL=$tuturl'>"; } else { echo "There was an error with the submission.

codeguru Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 At the beginning of your snippet you have: if (blah) { } else { but you never close your else with a }... just add a } at the bottom.
