[SOLVED] Tell a freind email script bugs - read evrything and stumped !

[dfarrell]

Hi  I have been battling with this php script for 3 days now !  doing my head in !!, 

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/afforda1/public_html/tellafriend.php on line 84

 

code below  any help in clearing this up would be apprecited iv'e looked at all spaces etc and all I can think of

 

( IF NOT  then does anyone have a WORKING tell a friend script  where people can tell their freinds about a certain webpage ? and it fires off 3 emails to friends and sends a message to webmaster telling them form was used ?  )

 

Code starts here

<?php

ob_start();

if(count($_POST)) {

# This part strips out nasty code that a malicious

# person may try to inject into the form

foreach(array('fmail1','fmail2','fmail3','email','name') as $key) $_POST[$key] = strip_tags($_POST[$key]);

if(!is_secure($_POST)) { die("Hackers begone");}

# This part submits a notification to you when

# the form is submitted

// Email address for copies to be sent to - change to suit

$emailto = "referrals@affordablemortgages.co.uk";

// Notification email subject text for copies

$esubject = "Recommendation form submission";

// Email body text for notifications

$emailtext = "

$_POST[name] has used your recommendation form using an email address of $_POST

The people the recommendation has been submitted to are:

$_POST[fmail1]

$_POST[fmail2]

$_POST[fmail3]

The page recommended:

$_POST[refurl]

";

# This function sends the email to you

@mail("$emailto", $esubject, $emailtext, "From: $_POST");

# This part is the function for sending to recipients

// Page to display after successful submission

// Change the thankyou.htm to suit

$thankyoupage = "FREE_MoneySaving_Guide.pdf";

// Subject line for the recommendation - change to suit

$tsubject = "Recommended by $_POST[name] a FREE MoneySaving Debt advice guide";

// Change the text below for the email

// Be careful not to change anyt "$_POST[value]" bits

$ttext = "

Hi, its $_POST[name], I thought you may be interested in this FREE MoneySaving and Debt Advice Guide, I think its really good.

$_POST[refurl]

$_POST[name] has used our Tell-a-Friend form to send you this note.

We look forward to your visit!  -  You'd be MAD not to  - most people save around £350 per month by implementing as few as 3 of the 20+ tips.

";

 

# This sends the note to the addresses submitted

@mail("$_POST[fmail1],$_POST[fmail2],$_POST[fmail3]", $tsubject, $ttext, "FROM: $_POST");

 

# After submission, the thank you page

function Redirect($time, $thankyoupage) {

 

echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"{$time}; url={$thankyoupage}\" /> ";

 

}

 

# Nothing further can be changed. Leave the below as is

 

function is_secure($ar) {

$reg = "/(Content-Type|Bcc|MIME-Version|Content-Transfer-Encoding)/i";

if(!is_array($ar)) { return preg_match($reg,$ar);}

$incoming = array_values_recursive($ar);

foreach($incoming as $k=>$v) if(preg_match($reg,$v)) return false;

return true;

}

 

function array_values_recursive($array) {

$arrayValues = array();

foreach ($array as $key=>$value) {

if (is_scalar($value) || is_resource($value)) {

$arrayValues[] = $value;

$arrayValues[] = $key;

}

elseif (is_array($value)) {

$arrayValues[] = $key;

$arrayValues = array_merge($arrayValues, array_values_recursive($value));

}

}

return $arrayValues;

?>

Your missing a closing bracket at the very end, the last function, just after "return $arrayValues;"

[adam291086]

you error means that you are missing some syntax, usually a closing bracket ) or }. Also at a quick look you should be getting posted info like

 

$_POST['name'] and not like $_POST[name].

 

Also

 

you are saying $)POST[$key] which make no sense as $key is the results from some variables.

Hi  thanks to the speedy replies  tried  both  )  didn't like that

and tried  }  which the came up with Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/afforda1/public_html/tellafriend.php on line 84

 

aslo emails aren't ebing sent is that normal  as before emails were coming through even though I was getting error messages ?

[adam291086]

You can't just add in ) or { at the end of the script and hope it works. You need to read through the script and make sure that every time you have a { there is a } somewhere withing the script.

Hi I have updated php scrip    new script below  works in so much that form appears and transfers through to next page  but no emails are being sent thriough ?
