Getting a line error in register

oggie · #1 13-Apr-2008, 10:32

This is the code I have done but I am getting a line error when I upload it.

This the line error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/ogl10b7/public_html/EricsCarRepairs/register.php on line 79

I have loked at line 79 and cannot understand why it is coming up with this.

Any correction to this will be most grateful.

PHP Code:


<?php # register.php
// This is the registration page for the site.
 
// Include the config file for error management and such.
require_once ('./includes/config.inc.php');
 
// Set the page title and include the HTML header.
$page_title = 'Register';
include ('./includes/header.html');
 
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) { // Handle the form.
 
require_once ('../mysql_connect.php'); // Connect to the database.
 
// Check for a fisrt name.
if (ergi ('^[[:alpha:]\.\'\-]{2,15}$', stripslashes(trim($_POST['first_name'])))) {
$fn = escape_data($_POST['first_name']);
} else {
$fn = FALSE;
echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Please enter your first name!</font></p>';
}
 
// Check for a last name.
if (ergi ('^[[:alpaha:}\.\'\-]{2,30}$', stripslashes(trim($_POST['last_name'])))) {
$ln = escape_data($_POST['last_name']);
} else {
$ln = FALSE;
echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Please enter your last name!</font></p>';
}
 
// Check for an email address.
if (ergi('^[[:alnum:]][a-z0-9_\.\-]*@[a-z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$', stripslashes(trim($POST['email'])))) {
$e = escape_data($_POST['email']);
} else {
$e = FALSE;
echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Please enter a valid email address!</font></p>';
}
 
// Check for a password and math against the conforme password.
if (ergi('^[[:alnum:]]{4,20}$', stripslashes(trim($_POST['password1'])))) {
if ($_POST['password1'] == $_POST['password2']) { 
$p = escape_data($_POST['password1']);
} else {
$p = FALSE;
echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Your password did not match the confirmed password!</font></p>';
}
} else {
$p = FALSE;
echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Please enter a valid password!</font></p>';
}
 
if ($fn && $ln && $e && $p) { // If everything's OK.
 
// Make sure the email address is available.
$query = "SELECT user_id FROM register WHERE email='$e'";
$result = mysql_query ($query) or trigger_error("Query: $query\n<br />MySQL ERROR: " . mysql_error());
 
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) { // Available.
 
// Create the activation code.
$a = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
 
// Add the user.
$query = "INSERT INTO register (email, pass, first_name, last_name, active, registration_date) VALUES ('$e', SHA('$p'), '$fn', '$ln', '$a', NOW()";
$result = mysql_query ($query) or trigger_error("QUERY: $query\n<br />MySQL ERROR:" . mysql_error());
 
if (mysql_affected_rows() == 1) { // If it ran OK.
 
// Send the email.
$body = "Thankyou for registering. To activate your account, please click on this link:\n\n";
$body .="http://www.whateveraddressyouwantthere.com/activate.php?x=" . mysql_insert_id() . "&y=$a";
mail($_POST['email'],'Registration confirmation',$body);
 
// Finish the page.
echo '<h3>Thankyou for registering! A confirmation email has been sent to your address. Please click on the link in that the email in order to activate your account.</h3>';
include ('.includes/footer.html'); // Include the HTML footer.
exit ()
 
} else { // If it did not run OK.
echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">You could not be registerd due to a system error. We apologize for any inconvenience.</font></p>';
}
 
} else { // The email address is not available.
echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1"> That email has already been registered. If you have forgotten your password, use the link to have your password sent to you.</font></p>';
}
 
} else { // If one of the data testa failed.
echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Please try again.</font></p>';
}
 
mysql_close(); // Close the database connection.
 
} // End of the main submit conditional.
?>

The error is NOT always exactly where it (the parser) has complained. That is just a 'best guess' location as it was parsing.

So, as a hint, carefully look back around line 77 and see what is missing.

Hi,

Thanks forr that it was missing a ; on line 77.

It does work but why is it still coming up with the below error??

Ian

This is the header.html page:

PHP Code:


<?php # header.html
// This page begins the HTML header for the site.
 
// start output buffering.
ob_start();
// Initialise a session.
session_start(); [color=red]THIS IS LINE 7[/color]
 
// Check for a $page_title value.
if (!isset($page_title)) {
$page_title = 'Register';
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title><?php echo $page_title; ?>
</title>
<style type="text/css" media="screen"> @import url(./includes/layout.css);</style>
</head> 
 
<body>
<div id="Header">User Registration</div>

See your other post, I gave a link to info. that might help that session problem.

Hi,

I have had a look at the previous post you sent. But cannot see a link you said you posted on your last post.
