I have just finshed my first php code and posted it online and I am getting a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/hydeands/public_html/phpmail.php on line 45
But when I look at it it looks ok.
. I am just creating a php for a online form to direct the email.
Here is the code.

Now I am getting the email but the fields are blank. Is that this code or the html code?

re: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

The names of your POST variables look funny e.g 'Amount of judgment:'.
Try using variable names without spaces.

I'm going to agree. Try removing the spaces and see what happens.

How about removing those spaces in the variable names? What does the html file that sends them look like?

re: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

You're posting the information, but you're not requesting it once the email is sent.

Try this:

[PHP]

$casenumberField = $_POST{'Case number'};
$amountField = $_POST{'Amount of judgment:'};
$collectedField = $_POST{'Amount collected to date:'};
$stateField = $_POST{'State judgment issued:'};
$attnField = $_POST{'Represented by attorney:'};
$defaultField = $_POST{'Awarded by default:'};
$dstateField = $_POST{'JD reside in different state:'};
$namejdField = $_POST{'Name of JD:'};
$addjdField = $_POST{'JD street address:'};
$cityjdField = $_POST{'JD city, state, zip:'};
$namejcField = $_POST{'JCsName'};
$addjcField = $_POST{'JCsAddress'};
$cityjcField = $_POST{'JCsCity'};
$phoneField = $_POST{'JCsPhone'};
$emailjcField = $_POST{'JCsEmail'};
$descrpField = $_POST{'Description'};
$judgeField = $_POST{'Judgment'};

$body = <<<EOD

<br><hr><br>

$email = "\n Email: ";
$email .= $_REQUEST['casenumber'] ;
$amounte = "\n Amount: ";
$amounte .= $_REQUEST['amount'] ;

And so on....
[/PHP]

re: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

This is dragging.

Do this at the top of that file
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. echo '<pre>';
  2. print_r($_POST);
  3. echo '</pre>';
  4.  
and then show us the results.

and what's the point in using REQUEST? It's slower because it checks COOKIE, GET and POST. If you know where the data is, then use that instead of REQUEST.

re: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

I use REQUEST on all my mailforms, and I don't notice it being slow at all.

Hopefully your advice helps him out, though.

I am just not sure where to put the three lines you gave me. Did I put them in the right spot?

re: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

Let me ask again. Are you sure that there is an html form which is passing those variables that you are trying to get from $_POST and that those variables are named exactly as you are trying to get them?
