Need Help (Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in..)

Hi

When people go on my site and try to Create Account they get this message >>


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/XxXxX/public_html/your_details.php on line 312



(XxXxX is a user name thats been covered up by me)

the code for line 312 >>>>>

$buildEmail='Hi,<br>A new account was created today for '. $name . '<br><br>' . $name . '\'s email address is <a href=mailto:' . $email_address . '>' . $email_address . '</a>';


Hope someone can help

$buildEmail='Hi,<br>A new account was created today for '. $name . '<br><br>' . $name . '\'s email address is <a href=mailto:' . $email_address . '>' . $email_address . '</a>';

You cannot use \' in single-quoted string.
I'd recommend you to rewrite this line of code like this:

$buildEmail = "Hi,<br>A new account was created today for $name. <br><br>$name\'s email address is <a href=\"mailto:$email_address\">$email_address</a>";

Hope this helps.

Trying your code, Jag, does not produce an error - what is the 2-3 lines before the $buildEmail?

Not true. If you have a PHP string 'This is a test. Don\'t'. < that's perfectly valid.

You cannot use \' in single-quoted string.
I'd recommend you to rewrite this line of code like this:

$buildEmail = "Hi,<br>A new account was created today for $name. <br><br>$name\'s email address is <a href=\"mailto:$email_address\">$email_address</a>";

Hope this helps.

yep, problem is above line 312, post the previous line with code

Thank you for the post far, but have to say that I havent changed anything at the moment.

Here are the codes from lines 307-327


//send email
tep_mail($name, $email_address, $email_subject, $buildEmail, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);


//send store owner email
$buildEmail='Hi,</br>A new account was created today for '. $name . '</br><br>' . $name . '\'s email address is <a href=mailto:' . $email_address . '>' . $email_address . '</a>';
tep_mail(STORE_OWNER,STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, 'New Account Created', $buildEmail, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_FINAL, '', 'SSL'));
}
}
}

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));

$content = CONTENT_CREATE_ACCOUNT;
$javascript = 'form_check.js.php';
require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . TEMPLATE_NAME . '/' . TEMPLATENAME_MAIN_PAGE);

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php');
?>


Cheers Peeps

no error looks to exist on that line tbh

Presumably STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS are both contsants although this error should not be generated if that were the case as they would be used as a string instead.

Maybe if you send 1 of us the file.

would need to see the whole file content. 1 thing you could do if you have an editor with syntax highlighting you would be able to see if for example, see if any of those closing brackets do not have corresponding opening brackets.
