Bizarre problem when trying to write to a csv

[compuv]

I'm obtaining a weird message when I try to add the capability to write to a csv file into the formmail script that I'm using. Everything is fine initially and the email comes through to me perfectly from the simple HTML form I've designed. However, when I add the path to the CSV directory into the appropriate section in the php script being called, I get the following when I run the script:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /home/myaccount/public_html/suggest/Feedback.php on line 5439


The $CSVDIR section looks like this:

$CSVDIR = "/home/myaccount/public_html/csvdir";                        // directory for csv files; empty string to
                                    // disallow csv files
$CSVSEP = ",";        // comma separator between fields (columns)
$CSVINTSEP = ";";    // semicolon is the separator for fields (columns)
                    // with multiple values (checkboxes, etc.)
$CSVQUOTE = '"';    // all fields in the CSV are quoted with this character;
                    // default is double quote.  You can change it to
                    // single quote or leave it empty for no quotes.
//$CSVQUOTE = "'";    // use this if you want single quotes
$CSVOPEN = "";        // set to "b" to force line terminations to be
                    // kept as $CSVLINE setting below, regardless of
                    // operating system.  Keep as empty string and
                    // leave $CSVLINE unchanged, to get text file
                    // terminations for your server's operating system.
                    // (Line feed on UNIX, carriage-return line feed on Windows).
$CSVLINE = "\n";    // line termination for CSV files.  The default is
                    // a single line feed, which may be modified for your
                    // server's operating system.  If you want to change
                    // this value, you *must* set $CSVOPEN = "b".

The section giving the error looks like this with the "if" part being Line 5439:

{
    global    $TARGET_URLS;
 
    foreach ($TARGET_URLS as $s_prefix)
        if (!empty($s_prefix) &&
                strtolower(substr($s_url,0,strlen($s_prefix))) ==
                strtolower($s_prefix))
            return (true);
    return (false);
}

I don't know what's wrong with this. More bizarrely, when I remove this CSV modification and revert to the original script, this error stays! I'm not a programmer so I'm a bit stuck here. I'm just trying to use the script as an "out-of-the-box" solution.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Replace && with && in the below code.
[PHP]if (!empty($s_pref ix) &&a mp;
strtolower(subs tr($s_url,0,str len($s_prefix)) ) ==
strtolower($s_p refix))[/PHP]
It will become
[PHP]if (!empty($s_pref ix) &&
strtolower(subs tr($s_url,0,str len($s_prefix)) ) ==
strtolower($s_p refix))[/PHP]

Thank you.

I think I see what's happened here. I opened the PHP file in a web editing program and it appears to have put all these wacky characters in as replacements for &, ", <, >. It doesn't look like it was anything to do with the script at all. Looks like some painstaking editing with Notepad is looming! Thanks again for your help.

Heya, Dave.

I award 15 points for creative use of [b] tags. However, I have to deduct 15 points for not using [code] tags.

Better luck next time.
