tlsarna Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 HI ... I'm new at PHP, and did some research to find this script. However, when I try to run it, I get the following error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/.patch/myusername/mydomain/my.php on line 2. Here's the script: <?php $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Reminder Message - SC3Arts Production Arts Team Service This Weekend!"; $body = "REMINDER: You are scheduled to serve on the Production Arts team this weekend! If you are unavailable to serve, please contact a replacement or send an email to [email protected].\nTo check this week's schedule, login here: http://www.sc3arts.com/pages/pa/thiswk.shtml. If you are unable to login, please contact Toni Lynn Sarna at [email protected] with your desired password, so that she can set you up with access.\n\nThanks for your service, and God bless!"; mail($to, $subject, $body); ?> I've tried putting a slash before the @ sign (a suggestion from another board), as well as tried with and without the semicolon at the end of the mail () line. Nothing seems to work. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/47228-solved-simple-email-script-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsidian Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Is this your entire script? As it's posted, it seems to be fine. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/47228-solved-simple-email-script-error/#findComment-230338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlsarna Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yes, this is the entire script. I also tried the single quotes around the email address, with no luck. In fact, I have another error that popped up too ... unexpected character in input '\' (ASCII 92) state=1 in <b>/home/.patch/username/mydomain.com/myphp.php</b> on line <b>2</b><br \> I built and saved this in Wordpad - could this be the problem? Is there a special text editor I should be using to build the PHP scripts? I also tried in Frontpage, and that caused all SORTS of problems ..... Thanks!

tlsarna Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 The problem was in using Wordpad to create the script. I went back to Frontpage, removed the HTML coding and it worked great!!
