"Unexpected End Of File" In Handle_Form.Php

Mike_B · September 25, 2012

When I submit a form (chapter 3) using feedback.html and handle_form.php to process the feedback, I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in J:\xampp\htdocs\PHP\handle_form.php on line 27

Other PHP scripts work ok. There are 26 lines in my file. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for you help.

Mike

Script below:

<!DOCTYPE htm PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitinal//EN"

<head>

content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>Page Title</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

//Handles inputs from feedback.html

// Elements are title, name, email, response, comments and submit in $_POST

$title = $_POST['title'];

$name = $_POST['name'];

$response = $_POST['response'];

// $email = $_POST['email'];

$comments = $_POST['comments'];

// $submit = $_POST['submit'];

print "Thank you, $title $name, for you comments.

You stated that you found this expample to be '$response' and added: $comments;

?>

</body>

</html>

For future posts make sure you put code between [ code ] tags (highlight code and press the < > button above the text box).

Get yourself a text editor/IDE with syntax highlighting, it helps with spotting syntax errors.

You're missing a closing " (double quotation mark) at the end of the string after your print statement.

Thanks. That was it. I'll search for a IDE/editor advice in the proper forum.
