[SOLVED] Help with PHP code

Dwizzle · November 15, 2007

Hey EVERYone,

I must admit I'm am new at php, and just searching for some assistance in completing this code. I'm trying to get this code to send a 'confirmation' back to the submitter with the contents of the form completed, something similar to a 'receipt'. The line I'm having trouble with is the second last line in the code where it says

&& mail($email,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$body,'From: '.$to."\r\n"))

The code is listed below:

<?php

$ip = $_POST['ip']; 
$httpref = $_POST['httpref']; 
$httpagent = $_POST['httpagent']; 
$name = $_POST['name']; 
$organization_name = $_POST['organization_name'];
$email = $_POST['email']; 
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

  $confirmationSubject='Technical Support';
  $confirmationBody="Hello, This email will serve as your confirmation email that we have received and will process your request in a timely mannor.  Thank you and have a fantastic day.";

$msg = " $todayis [EST] \n
Organization: $organization_name \n
Message: $message \n 
From: $name ($email)\n
Additional Info : IP = $ip \n
Browser Info: $httpagent \n
Referral : $httpref \n";

$from = "From: $email\r\n";
$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;
$msg = stripcslashes($msg); 


if (eregi('http:', $message)) {
die ("<h2>I'm sorry we did not get your message please click the BACK button and try again! ! </h2>");
}
if(!$email == "" && (!strstr($email,"@") || !strstr($email,"."))) 
{
	echo "<h2>Use the 'Back' button - Please enter a valid e-mail address!</h2>\n"; 
	$badinput = "<h2>Feedback was NOT submitted</h2>\n";
	echo $badinput;
	die ("<h1>Use the 'BACK' button above! ! </h1>");
}
if(empty($subject)) {
echo "<h2>Use the 'Back' button - Please enter a subject!</h2>\n";
die ("<h1>Use the 'BACK' button above! ! </h1>"); 
}
if(empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($message) || empty($subject)) {
echo "<h2>Use the 'Back' Button - You MUST complete all fields</h2>\n";
die ("<h1>Use the 'BACK' button above! ! </h1>"); 
}
if (mail("myemail@myemail.com", $subject, $message, $from, $organization_name)
&& mail($email,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$message,'From: 'myemail@myemail.com"\r\n"))

?>

Change from:

&& mail($email,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$body,'From: '.$to."\r\n"))

To:

&& mail($email,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$body,"From: ".$to."\r\n"))

I actually didn't get a chance to post the error message i'm getting, so this is the error i'm getting:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/datatime/public_html/tsupport_action.php on line 196

The suggestion you made 'Kratsg', I tried however i believe it would actually be something different, as if it's not expecting me to using the && symbols?

Any other suggestions?

revraz · November 15, 2007

I dont see 196 lines of code there.

Dwizzle · November 15, 2007

I actually didn't post all the code here because the other code lines are just html and background page settings, would you like to see that additional code as well?

kratsg · November 15, 2007

if (mail("myemail@myemail.com", $subject, $message, $from, $organization_name)
&& mail($email,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$message,'From: 'myemail@myemail.com"\r\n"))

?>

What the heck is going on here? I think that's your missing T_STRING. You need to have the { } section of it, but I don't see it (at the bottom of the posted code)

Dwizzle · November 15, 2007

Hey 'Kratsg', i'm really not sure what you mean, however i've pasted the whole page code for your review. Are you able to pick out something i'm doing incorrectly? The form work correctly, it's just when i put in that one code line where it throws the error message previously stated.

the && is not needed

kenrbnsn · November 15, 2007

This line

<?php
&& mail($email,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$body,"From: "myemail@myemail.com"\r\n"))
?>

should be written as

<?php
&& mail($email,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$body,"From: myemail@myemail.com\r\n"))
?>

I've tried both suggestion posted previously, however still getting the same error message as per below:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/datatime/public_html/tsupport_action.php on line 196

btherl · November 15, 2007

Try this:

mail("myemail@myemail.com.com", $subject, $message, $from, $organization_name);
mail($email,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$body,"From: myemail@myemail.com\r\n");

Dwizzle · November 15, 2007

In my testing and playing around, i did try that combination as well and that didn't work for me either unfortunately.... ???

darkfreaks · November 15, 2007

to my knowledge PHP mail only accepts 4 arguements , you have 5 my friend that needs working on

Dwizzle · November 15, 2007

Well that's the thing i was wondering, however if i just use the line below everything works fine except no receipt, just displays the contents of what the user typed for their review:

mail("myemail@myemail.com.com", $subject, $message, $from, $organization_name);

However i would like to get an email re-sent out to the user's email address, hence why i was trying to include the second line that I'm having problems with.

btherl · November 15, 2007

In my testing and playing around, i did try that combination as well and that didn't work for me either unfortunately.... ???

It's not the combination that matters. The problem you're having is a parse error, meaning that your code doesn't make sense to php. That's what I fixed in the code I posted.

Once the parse error is fixed, then you can look at fixing the logic.

In other words, the error you're seeing is php saying "Sorry, I can't understand your script, I'm not even going to TRY running it"

Dwizzle · November 22, 2007

I re-wrote the code and it's working, thank you!!!!
