    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /home2/exoduses/public_html/phptest.php

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me. This site is for college, and I have everything else working, except for this PHP thingy. This is the error message I get:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /home2/exoduses/public_html/phptest.php on line 16

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    And this is my PHP code:
    Code:
    [I]<?php


echo 'code tags!';


/* subject and email variables */

		$emailSubject =  'Crazy PHP Scripting!';
		$WebMaster = '__MUNGED__';
		
		
/* Gathering Data Variables */

		$emailField = $_POST['email'];	
		$nameField = $_POST['name'];	
		$commentsField = $_POST['comments'];
		
		
		$body = <<<'EOD'		
<br><hr><br>
Email: $emailField <br>
Name: $nameField <br>
Comments: $commentsField <br>
EOD; 

	$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";	
	$success = mail($WebMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
	
	  	
/* results rendered as html*/

	$theResults = <<<'EOD'
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

</head>

<p>click <a href="homepage.html">here</a> to return to the mainpage</p>
</body>
</html>	
EOD;
echo "$theResults";


?>[/I]
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,
    Jay

      Hi there, Exoduses. Welcome to the forums!

      Just to get you started, when you post code in the forum please wrap it in CODE tags.

      Example:
      [CODE]
      <?php
      echo 'code tags!';
      ?>
      [/CODE]

      It makes things alot easier to read. It also gives line numbers to the code, which, in your case, helps a great deal - if you had used code tags, I wouldn't've had to copy the code into my texteditor to find the linenumber!
      Code:
      <?php
    echo 'code tags'!;
?>
      Now to your problem: remove the quotes from the EOD.

          Thankyou!

          I've changed it, and now when I click send, all I get is a white page, with this in the address bar:

          http://example.com/phptest.php?email...=Send+Email%21

          And it doesn't change :s

          I don't know if my echo results code was right.

              Heya, Jay.

              NOWDOC syntax is available as of PHP 5.3, but that's still in alpha. What version of PHP are you running?

              Which line is causing the error?

                  Hi,

                  I don't have a clue what version lol. Sorry. There's no error message displayed.

                  The link to the contact page, so you can see the error for yourself, is

                  Contact Us Page

                  I really feel like a noob lol

                      As I said on msn: there is no 'method' attribute on your form. Therefore, the results are sent via GET and not POST, which is what you are trying to retrieve the data by.

                          Which line in your code is actually causing the error? Please repost the code around the line that the error mentions.

                              It doesn't display a message of any kind.

                              The code is:

// check the POSTed data
if(isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['name']) isset($_POST['comments']) {
      $emailField = $_POST['email'];   
      $nameField = $_POST['name'];   
      $commentsField = $_POST['comments'];
}

// fix up the variables in the heredoc
$body = <<<EOD

                              Also, this code, has been done by my friend, who is making the site with me.

                                  Make sure you have display_errors turned on (http://bytes.com/forum/thread629295.html).
