[SOLVED] parse error, unexpected T_EXIT in php mail script

[Posie]

I have created a hmlt/php consultation form (which works fine) that sends to this php script to send the results to me via email.

No matter what I try, I keep getting this error message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_EXIT, expecting ',' or ';' in /homepages/36/d222381006/htdocs/consultemail.php on line 65

Can anyone see anything obvious that I am missing?

(Sorry for all the variables)

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Your problem starts here

PHP: Select all

$emailto = "[email="michellemc5@clearwire.net"]michellemc5@clearwire.net[/email]"; 

You need to escape the double quotes

PHP: Select all

$emailto = "[email=\"michellemc5@clearwire.net\"]michellemc5@clearwire.net[/email]"; 

Hope that helps

There is a serious security problem with your script.
The $brideemail variable is not checked for validity before being passed on in the email header. Anyone can easily inject fake headers and use your script for sending spam.

Check out one of the following sites, for how to validate emails

http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/php/...ss-validation/

http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Email...tion-with-PHP/

[Posie]

Thank you both!

I took the validation code out because I was having trouble getting the script to work and I thought I'd better get the basic one working then add it back in.

I made the change suggested in the e-mail line and got the following message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /homepages/36/d222381006/htdocs/consultemail.php on line 80

(Line 80 is the e-mail line we are changing)

I tried moving the second slash outside the quote mark and got the same result.

Do you know why this error might be happening?

Thanks again for all your help!

Post your code, I want to see what it looks like now you've changed it.

You haven't done what Rakuli said to do, follow his post.

So sorry -- I thought we were just talking about the one line.

I fixed it now (THANK YOU, THANK YOU!)

Now I guess I'll tackle the e-mail validation.

Just out of curiosity, does it matter if I validate the e-mail in my php page where the form is (I validate several required fields there) or does it need to be on this page with the script?

Thank you again so much for your help with this script!

[alexgeek]

If you mean should you validate with javascript or PHP - definitely PHP.
Javascript an easily be turned off or altered.
