Hi all...
Having problems with some php3 to php4 stuff.. the site has a form that has
been setup to ask questions outside our discussion forums.
The form.html contains <FORM action="util/questionmailer.php"
method="post">
The questionmailer code is as below. I have only changed the email addy and the
file extension from .php3 to .php on the questionmailer file and the .php
(above) in the form.html page. I have checked the php on-line manual, but can
find nothing that fits my problems or errors.
I am getting:
1) Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in
/usr/home/blah/html/util/questionmailer.php on line 24
2) Parse error: parse error in /usr/home/erc/html/util/questionmailer.php on
line 24
Line 24 in my code is: <a href="\%22mailto:webmaster@blah.com\%22">
//questionmailer.php code
<body>
<?php $mailTo="webmaster@blah.com" ;
$mailSubject="Question" ;
$mailBody="Name: $name \r\n" ;
$mailBody .="Email: $email \r\n" ;
$mailBody .="Question: $question \r\n" ;
if(mail($mailTo, $mailSubject, $mailBody))
{
print("Thank-You, your request has been sent.");
}
else
{
print("There was a problem transporting your request, please try
again.\n");
print("If the problem persists you can mail your question directly
to <address><a href="\%22mailto:webmaster@blah.com\%22">
<p>the forum administrator</a>");
}
?>
</p>
</body>
Is there something I'm missing here?
(I am coming from an ASP background, with VB and some C++ knowledge, so it all
looks familiar, I am just trying to sort out syntax and think it must be that
type of error. I didn't write the original code, just trying to fix it all :)
TIA.
