Unexpected $end and the If...Else statement

3 New Member

I have written a php script (test3.php), which I attached as a text file. Its includes are also attached as text files. I'm trying to run the script here: http://www.wondergy.com/phptestbed/test3.php

The problem I'm having is the frustrating Unexpected $end. Yes, I know that it usually means something isn't being closed correctly. The problem is, I can't figure out what. To make the problem stranger, I can get it to parse when I break it up into three files and include the two files in a large If...Else statement. The first time the script runs, it goes to the Else part of the statement and includes form3.php. Perfect, the form displays and the world is happy. No unexpected $end error. BUT - when I take that very same code (from form3.php) and include it inside the else brackets {}, I get the unexpected $end error. How can this be? How can I fix this?

The error text is? Short of running the code ourselves (extra effort on our part) we do not know what part of the code we should be looking at. Also, instead of providing the files as attachments, if the files do not have 1000+ lines, just post them here (wrapped with [code] tags) for us to see.

On line 33 of handle3.php, make sure EMAIL_RESPONSE has no whitespace before it, that is, it should be the very first thing on the line. Consider the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
// good

    echo <<<HTML

    <input>...</input>

HTML;

// bad

    echo <<<HTML

    <input>...</input>

    HTML;
