Parse Error v 2.04

[Joel T Hjalmarsson]

Hi

I'm using ver 2.04 and phpdev on a win machine. When I build a form with 2 text areas and have it all well and done and then try it out it says:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$'' in c:\phpdev\www\process.php on line 6

This is after I have built a for with 2 text areas and nothing else just for testing. The code looks like this:

<?php
include("global.inc.php");
$errors=0;
$error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>";
pt_register('POST','1');
$1=preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/","&nbsp;<br />", $1);pt_register('POST','2');
$2=preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/","&nbsp;<br />", $2);if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));
$message="1: ".$1."
2: ".$2."
";
mail("asfasdf@asdds.se","Form Submitted at your website",$message,"From: phpFormGenerator");
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("hrm",$link);
$query="insert into clients (table1,table2) values ('".$HTTP_POST_FILES['1']['name']."','".$HTTP_POST_FILES['2']['name']."')";
mysql_query($query);
header("Refresh: 0;url=http://127.0.0.1");
}
?>

The parse error is on line 6. Any ideas
Cheers

Please don't use numbers as your field names. A field name should start with a letter.

Ok so now it works so far but after submitting it won't get it into the database. It does not give me any error but I cannot find anythying in the database.

<?php
include("global.inc.php");
$errors=0;
$error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>";
pt_register('POST','Name');
pt_register('POST','Lotsoftext');
$Lotsoftext=preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/","&nbsp;<br />", $Lotsoftext);if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));
$message="Name: ".$Name."
Lots of text: ".$Lotsoftext."
";
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("hrm",$link);
$query="insert into testtable (name,textmass) values ('".$HTTP_POST_FILES['Name']['name']."','".$HTTP_POST_FILES['Lotsoftext']['name']."')";
mysql_query($query);
header("Refresh: 0;url=http://127.0.0.1");
}
?>

It works when I hit send but thisng ends up in the database

[Joel T Hjalmarsson]

Well look at that, it works ... No numbers and then it works. Would that be no numbers at all or could it be "something_1" or should I skip numbers

[Musawir Ali]

you can use numbers, but you can't start a field name with a number. This is a general programming rule, you cannot name identifiers starting with numeric digits.

[Musawir Ali]

aah rats, u've found a bug :P wait.. fixing

[Joel T Hjalmarsson]

What ? You mean that I have found a bug *feels proud* I'll be waiting right here :-)

[Musawir Ali]

heh yea.. I had to release 2.04 quickly cuz people were bombarding me with emails :P But anyway, stick around .. I'll have this lil thing fixed and upload the new packages

[Joel T Hjalmarsson]

I'll be waiting right here.....

[Musawir Ali]

Ok all done. The new file is called phpFormGen-php-2.04b.tar.gz or phpFormGen-php-2.04b.zip , depending on which archive you'll be downloading (notice the 'b').
It might take a little time for sourceforge to show the new files.. I can seem up right now though.

[Joel T Hjalmarsson]

ok will try and get back to you

[Joel T Hjalmarsson]

Ok it works, now I will try this with a online questionare that i need to build with about 40 questions all multiple choice.

I'll inform you how i went

[Joel T Hjalmarsson]

FYI Everything works fine and I have tested several different ways of doing a online form. I have no problems so far. Thanks for the fix.
