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

dfarrell · January 17, 2008

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();

// This following statement must not be changed.

// Tell-A-Friend script V 2.1 Updated September 19 2006

// Taming the Beast.net - http://www.tamingthebeast.net

// Free Web Marketing and Ecommerce Resources and Tools

// By using this script you agree to indemnify Taming the Beast

// from from any liability that might arise from its use.

// The preceding statement must not be changed.

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.

- It's TOTALLY FREE no gimmicks or sales pitch, 8 pages of tools and tips to help you reduce your debts and outgoings, all we ask is you 'spread the word' and help your friends as well.

";

# 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 · January 17, 2008

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 · January 17, 2008

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.
