Parse error in PhP

swaves · #1 04-Feb-2009, 13:43

This is new to me, but I am trying to make the "send mail" function work on my flash page. Any help would be greatly appriciated, I have been working on this for 3 days now

Here is the info:

ERROR MESSAGE:
Warning: main(Mail.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /u34/swaves/email tutorial/php/sendtofriend.php on line 4

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Mail.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php/include') in /u34/swaves/email tutorial/php/sendtofriend.php on line 4

That is not a parse error...

What is the full path to the 'Mail.php' file?

If it is not [based on the 'include_path' in the fatal error message] in the same directory (the dot) where sendfriend.php is located, or in /usr/local/php/include, then PHP can't locate the file.

Thanks for the reply.
My host server told me to have it in my "cgi-bin" folder .
So how should the line read? Noob to all this and just trying to get it to work.
Thanks again

I'm not sure why they would want it there...is it something they reference too?

Why not, just for temporary testing sake, copy the file to your php directory and see how it goes?

If that works ok, then there are two possibilities:
1. keep the file there, where specifically needed

or (if it'll be needed by multiple scripts)

2. append another path (the cgi-bin path) to the 'include_path' using ini_set(). Be careful that you concatenate the additional path [including a path-separator, the colon], and not replace what's there now.
At the top of the script, the ini_set() would be used like this:

PHP Code:


ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path') . ':/path/to/your/cgi-bin');

EDIT:
Oh, lest I forget: ini_set() only temporarily modifies the 'include_path' for the current script. So this method will be needed whenever you need a path included. Since you don't have control of php.ini, it won't be permanent.

Turns out it was just case sensitive...mail.php not Mail.php
But now i get this error. Note the config.php from previous post.

Warning: main(Mail.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/u34/swaves/email tutorial/php/sendtofriend.php on line 4

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Mail.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/local/php/include') in /u34/swaves/email
tutorial/php/sendtofriend.php on line 4

I don't see what that has to do with the config file?

Those appear to be the exact same messages from before, so what has changed? I still see [M]ail.php in the error, and the complaint [still] mentions the sendtofriend.php file.

swaves · #7 04-Feb-2009, 21:12

Sorry my error. Been trying to figure this out too long. I copied the old error.
This is the error message

Warning: Missing argument 4 for sendemail() in /u34/swaves/email tutorial/php/config.php on line 14

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'mail' in /u34/swaves/email tutorial/php/config.php on line 20

1. Ok, so think about what the warning is telling you...

What is different between the definition of SendEmail() in the config vs. how it is called from the sendtofriend.php file?

2. The error appears to be at this line:

PHP Code:


if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {

The $mail result from smtp's send() call must be a non-object, like a true or false result. So passing $mail to isError() is not what is needed. Maybe the $smtp object could be used instead? Or is there a Mail::isError() instead of PEAR?

Or if the send() does return true, or false, [as to the success of send()] then change the condition. Maybe something like this:

PHP Code:


// You'll need verify what send returns with failure. (this is only an example)    if ( $mail == false) {
