Can any php knowing b3tan enlighten me on why this on its own in a php file generates a parse error on line 13 (theres not even 13 lines!



<?php

//(C)Richard John 2004

// path to the file to store messages in
$filename = 'sms.txt';

$vars = ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') ? $_POST : $_GET;
$fp = fopen($filename, 'a');
fputs($fp, 'msg= Latest message: "'.$vars['msg'].'" "\n");
fclose($fp);

?>

# if you get a parse error
on the last line it generally means you left off a } or something

# Or is it? method of programming:
just stick in what it says it needs and see if it works.

for me

# not entirely sure what you doing with this line but try
fputs($fp, "msg= Latest message: ".$vars['msg']." \n");

# thank you!
It worked!!!!!
I think.....

edit: well, it's half working! when i go to www.website.com/sms.php?msg=test+message
It's writing Latest Message: to the text file, but not the actual message

# no problem
you has a load of single quotes in it which i couldn't see a purpose for, should work fine now

edit, try this:

//(C)Richard John 2004

// path to the file to store messages in
$filename = 'sms.txt';

$vars = $_GET['msg'];
$fp = fopen($filename, 'a');
fputs($fp, "msg= Latest message: ".$vars." \n");
fclose($fp);

# and
doesn't php count every line, including the blank ones, so that the 13th line is actually the ?>
(I helped save b3ta! Or is it?, Fri 23 Apr 2004, 21:06, archived)
# yes,
na dits not line 13, because that was for a different code and i am an idiot, i think its line 15

# Half hour comedy show out of Toronto.
A real younger human guy (slightly daft) runs a group home for 4 puppets that have been convicted of murder (one 53 times).

The puppets are raunchy/horny/homicidal and swear better an twice as often as Howard Stern.
