Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on line 29

tim_ver · April 9, 2007

I keep getting this error when I submit my online form:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

This is the line it is complaining about:

if ($autotype = 1){mail(email to, Email, Thank you for your request. We will be in touch in 24 hours.)};

What am I missing?

Thanks

if ($autotype == 1)

tim_ver · April 9, 2007

Nope same error still. This is what I have now and also the line above it

$autotype;

if ($autotype == 1){mail(email to, Email, Thank you for your request. We will be in touch in 24 hours.)};

neel_basu · April 9, 2007

if($autotype == 1)
{
	$header = "From: you@domain.com \r\n";
	mail("receipent@domain.com", "Subject", "Thank you for your request We will be in touch in 24  hours", $header);
}

Next Time Please use Tree Style PHP Coding

tim_ver · April 9, 2007

Ok, but with your changes it does not do hat I want it to. I want to email the response to the email they enter in the email box on the form. I have 4 forms and each are numbered 1-4 so each get a unique response back.

Thanks

neel_basu · April 9, 2007

I am not going to make you all. You have to configure that code block by yourself according to your needs.

I've Just Told that Replace

if ($autotype = 1){mail(email to, Email, Thank you for your request. We will be in touch in 24 hours.)};

With The Above Code I Posted

tim_ver · April 9, 2007

Ok, I am new to this way of auto response. The issue is the all forms goto the same email account so I need to have a different response for each form defined. I figured this was the easiest but it is not turing out to be it now, better way to do this?

I have have four forms and on each for I have this code:

$autotype

autotype = 1

Then in the send.php the code you gave above plus the line above it I gave.

I want it to email the response detailed in the line to the email they give in the text box on the form.

So what I am thinking is that the line you have receipent@domain.com need to be replaced with a value like Email and then Email has to be defined in the Send.php, right?

Thanks

And http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,134291.msg565336.html#msg565336 isn't all the direction you already need? If not, better explain why.

I think he is asking about use of a variable for the email address.

You can do

if($autotype == 1)
{
  $header = "From: you@domain.com \r\n";
  $email = "recipient@domain.com";
  mail($email, "Subject", "Thank you for your request We will be in touch in 24  hours", $header);
}

Similarly, you can replace the subject and/or the message with a variable.

If you are still having trouble, please post your full code for us to look at (for just 1 of the forms). There may be a problem with getting data from the form into the variables as well.

tim_ver · April 10, 2007

Ok will do. The forms work fine and I am getting the great just no auto responders are being sent back to the email the users put in the form.

AndyB · April 10, 2007

It's time to post your code for the form handling script.

tim_ver · April 11, 2007

There Is no Syntax Error on this Script

tim_ver · April 11, 2007

So why is it not working? What am I missing? I am not getting the auto response back.

Thanks

neel_basu · April 11, 2007

Check your Junk Mail Folder first

tim_ver · April 11, 2007

There is no junk mail folder for the email I enter. I did try also a yahoo and checked all folders but nothing.

Arghhh

AndyB · April 11, 2007

Nice that we see the html form, but ...

It's time to post your code for the form handling script.

... that's send.php

tim_ver · April 11, 2007

Ahh ok here is the send.php code:

<?php

if($_GET['ID']!=''){
session_start();

require('include/kaip.php');
check_install();
c_mysql_connect();

$result = c_mysql_query('SELECT * FROM listings  WHERE listing_approved = 1   AND listing_id = %P LIMIT 1',   array($_GET['ID']));
if(mysql_num_rows($result) != 0)  {
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
}

}else{
$row['listing_contact'] = "info@mydomain.com";
$row['listing_title'] = "Contact";
}

include("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->From     = $_POST['Contact_Name'];

$autotype;
if($autotype == 1)
{
  $header = "From: mydomain.com \r\n";
  $email = "info@mydomain.com";
  mail($email, "Subject", "Thank you for your request We will be in touch in 24  hours", $header);
}


if($_GET['ID']!=''){
$mail->FromName = "{$_POST['First_Name']} {$_POST['Last_Name']}";
$mail->Subject = "Request1";
}else{
$mail->FromName = "{$_POST['Contact_Name']}";
$mail->Subject = "Contact form";
}

$text = "\n"; $html = "<table>";
foreach($_POST as $v=>$l){
    if(is_array($l)) $l=implode(', ', $l);
$text .= "{$v}:  {$l}\n\n";
$html .= "<tr><td>{$v}:</td><td>  {$l}</td></tr>";
}
$html .= "</table>";

$mail->Body    = $html;
$mail->AltBody = $text;
$mail->AddAddress($row['listing_contact'], $row['listing_title']);
if($row['listing_cccontact']!='')
$mail->AddAddress($row['listing_cccontact'], $row['listing_title']);
//$mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['attach']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['attach']['name']);

if(!$mail->Send())
    echo "There has been a mail error sending to Contact<br>";

// Clear all addresses and attachments for next loop
$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->ClearAttachments();

?>
<script language="Javascript">
window.alert("Thank you for your request.\n We will contact you soon.");
window.location = "index.php";
</script>
