it's probably because you're not in an if() block anymore once you hit the else statement. fix your closing braces towards the end of your script.

ball420 · August 30, 2007

sorry to sound like a retard but could you show me. thanks a mil

akitchin · August 30, 2007

i've commented your code to show you what i mean:

<?php
if($errmsg == '') // <-- open if # 1
{
   if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())  // <-- open if # 2
   {
      $subject = stripslashes($subject);
      
   } // <-- close if # 2
$to = "you@yourmom.com"; 
$subject = 'application from met website' . $subject ;
}  // <-- close if # 1
  
  
  // the following will run regardless of everything
   mail($to,
        $subject,
        $body);
        
header('Location: nextstep.php');
exit;
else { // <-- else pertains to no currently open if block, as they were both closed upstairs
  echo "error: $errmsg";
}

} 
?>

ball420 · August 30, 2007

i think i screwed this up cuase i'm getting an error on line 174 which is right above the if($errmsg but here it is please bear with me i'm a newbie trying to understand

if($errmsg == '')
{
   if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
   }
   {
   
      $subject = stripslashes($subject);
      
    
$to = "amolaee@jbn.com"; 
$subject = 'application from met website' . $subject ;

  }
  
  
   mail($to,
        $subject,
        $body);
        
header('Location: nextstep.php');

else {
  echo "error: $errmsg";
}

}
exit; 
?>

If the error is on a line above that code why didn't you post the code it is referring to? We can't help with code we can't see..

You have what appears to be an extra } on that line.

ball420 · August 30, 2007

Jessica · August 30, 2007

Don't you see it? I mean...it's pretty obvious that you have an errant } right there. Are you looking at the code or just posting it here and asking us to fix it?

ball420 · August 30, 2007

i'm trying to understand again i'm sorry i have been so confused i thought i could get help.

i moved it to above my exit; and it now goes through but i says enter your name when the name is actully there???

i'm not asking you to do it i'm asking to get some knowlege so that i know what i doing in the future thanks again for the help

Jessica · August 30, 2007

I'm not sure where its supposed to be - you need to indent your code and then you'll figure out where it goes.

ball420 · August 30, 2007

i'm don't get what your saying??? basically now the filter isn't working thanks again

Try This:

<?php

if(trim($sname_field) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please enter your name';
   } 
   elseif(trim($email) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please enter your email address';
   }
   elseif(!isEmail($email))
   {
      $errmsg = 'Your email address is not valid';
   }
   elseif(trim($age) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please enter your age';
   }
   elseif(trim($address) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please enter your address';
   }
    elseif(trim($city) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please enter your city';
   }
    elseif(trim($state) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please enter your state';
   } 
   elseif(trim($zip) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please enter your zip';
   }
    elseif(trim($phone) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please enter your phone number';
   }
    elseif(trim($ecnnumber) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please enter your emergency contact number';
   }
    elseif(trim($check_msg) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please tell us what your interested in';
   }
    elseif(trim($drop_down) == '')
   {
      $errmsg = 'Please tell us how you found us';
   }
   


    
      
   



if($errmsg == '')
{
   if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
  
   {
   
      $subject = stripslashes($subject);
      
    
$to = "amolaee@jbn.com"; 
$subject = 'application from met website' . $subject ;

  }
  
  
   mail($to,
        $subject,
        $body);
        
header('Location: nextstep.php');
}
else {
  echo "error: $errmsg";
}


exit; 
?>

Also i recomend downloading Jedit it is helpful with syntax errors

not to be prudent but jesirose was right you had an extra } before your exit; line are you this ignorant? try looking harder next time.

Jessica · August 30, 2007

Textpad is also good for PHP, with color coding and indentation.

darkfreaks · August 30, 2007

Jedit also has color coding and and line numbering and it tells ya if your missing syntax *nod*
