[Chapter 13, Email Contact Form Error]

Thank you. That got rid of the error, and then I had other errors, which I was able to fix using NetBeans. I had been reluctant to use it, because it doesn't have word wrap, which is inconvenient.

[Chapter 13, Email Contact Form Error]

Hi. I'm using xampp 1.8.0 with Windows 7 SP1, 32 bit OS, and coding HTML5 and CSS3. I'm just learning PHP, and I created a contact form. I'm using Javascript to check if the form was filled out properly, so I didn't use some of the code shown in the book, and I did not scrub the date, time, and priority fields. The error message is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&&' (T_BOOLEAN_AND), expecting ')' on the line that reads: if (!empty($scrubbed['name']) && !empty($scrubbed['email']) && !empty($scrubbed['tel'] && !empty($scrubbed['description']) ). Thanks.

Oh, my bad. I don't have email set up with xampp. I uploaded it to the server, and it worked. Thanks, guys!!! A LOT! Now I need to code some security measures.

[Chapter 11, Email From Contact Form]

Thanks, Edward. Wow, I must need new glasses! That worked, but I filled out the form, and did not get an email. (I changed 'mail@yahoo.com' to my real email address.)

Thanks. I changed it, but it's still returning the same error on the same line.

[Chapter 11, Email From Contact Form]

Hi. I'm using xampp 1.8.0 with Windows 7 SP1, 32 bit OS, and coding HTML5 and CSS3. I'm just learning PHP, and I created a contact form for a dentist's Website, so that patients can request appointments. An email should go to the dentist and display the information that the user entered. (I only coded the 'name' and 'description' to be in the email so far, since this is just a test.) I'm using Javascript to check if the patient filled out the form properly, so I didn't use some of the code shown on pg. 332 of the book. There is an error on the first line: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'POST' (T_STRING), expecting ']'. Can someone tell me what's wrong? Thanks.
