^^^ line 43

Think about it this way, php is trying to tell you the correct line the error is on, But it is usually unable to if there is a syntax error because the interpreter is unable to parse the file correctly. It usually comes fairly close but not exact. What I am saying is that your first error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a3933825/public_html/require.inc.php on line 43

Cannot be diagnosed until you post all the code from require.inc.php.

Re: Syntax Errors

and post all of your code from require.inc.php because this is not 43 lines

function footer() {
?>
<CENTER>
<table>
<tr>
<td class="font"align=center><a href="start.php?option=contact">-contact us-</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="privacy.htm" target="_NEW">-privacy policy-</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="spam.htm" target="_NEW">-spam policy-</a><br></td></tr>
</table>
</CENTER>

Re: Securing Your PHP

I usually use htmlspecialchars() on the way out of the database because they pose no threat to the database as long as you use mysql_real_escape_string() and other proper measures to ensure data security. I think this better preserves the data and eliminates possible future adjustments to the data. Another thing that I think is way underrated are sql transactions. For instance, to start a transaction you just run the sql command "begin;". At that point you can run any number of queries and none of them will be committed until you run the sql command "commit;". This allows you to run long scripts with many updates, deletes and inserts and literally have no database clean up in case something goes south, you just call "rollback;". It also makes it easy to test such scripts because you can cancel the transaction at the end by running the sql command "rollback;".

Re: Form Validation Problem

made some adjustments, probably not what you want to do with it but got it working. the problem was that in the beginning of your javascript function you are changing the display properties of some elements by ID, well the problem was that some of those elements were missing so I just threw them in there and it works now. If you use firefox's error console it will tell you this kind of stuff.

Also changed your body font css attribute to font-family since that was also giving me a parsing error.

Re: feedback form for website based on Unix server

Can i simply paste the php file in the http docs or whether i need to use any apache webserver? Please clarify...

That should be fine, if it doesn't run check the file permissions.

Re: feedback form for website based on Unix server

Hi,
I am a webdesigner and don know much about php coz, my main stream is html and css. I used to use asp feedback forms for my websites. But my new website server is unix based. I think asp feedback forms are not supported in unix. Please tell me any other option for the feedback form.
Thanks
Jees

If you take the time to learn php a little you will find that the php and asp are very similar. Of course their are a few slight differences like function names and array declaration and management but all the principals are the same.

Re: Displaying date from mysql

I forget if you can do "colname, *" in the column list in a select query in mysql. I know you can in postgres, sometimes I forget that mysql doesn't have as many features as postgres. You may have to list the columns that you want to include in your script in the query. Something like this

$query="SELECT date_format(date '%d/%m/%Y') AS formatted_date, name, time, comment FROM newscomment WHERE news_id='$cmid'";

and what ever other columns you want to use in your scirpt.
