Use this code if your Server is running php 4.1.0 or newer

Hi Christy,
what exactly does the browser output, if you enter the php file into the browsers addressline?

Hello!    

It gives me this:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CASE or T_DEFAULT or '}' in /home/spookee/public_html/Ecards/SelectCard.php on line 8

aha, this means you have a typo

What I dont understand is:

why are you using two different kinds of quotes in your script?

Your function codes a checked against the string representation of the number.
This can be OK, but why dont you use double quotes, as you do on the other strings?

You have to test aroung, that there is no hidden code somewhere.

What editor yre you using for the php coding?

Oh, I was just using the copied and pasted code in this thread. It didn't occur to me to make the quotes consistant. I did that and still got the line 8 error. I edited it in about a billion different ways and still seem to be getting the errors in either line 8 or 9. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to PHP, so that might explain that. I'm using text edit to edit it.

I started using the original php file in the tutorial (the one for the older versions of PHP) and while it works, no text shows up in the ecard.

My server is running php 4.4.1
but Ecards not working.
I checked the 'dbtext' folder and nothing is being written to it.
I have CHMOD to 777

I use sendecard.php code:

Code:

<?

$CreateEcard = date(U);

$filename = $CreateEcard.".txt";

$ToEmail = $_POST["ToEmail"];
$FromEmail = $_POST["FromEmail"];
$ToName = $_POST["ToName"];
$FromName = $_POST["FromName"];
$Greeting = $_POST["Greeting"];
$IntroMessage = $_POST["IntroMessage"];
$EndMessage = $_POST["EndMessage"];
$EcardSelect = $_POST["EcardSelect"];

$ToName = stripslashes($ToName);
$FromName = stripslashes($FromName);
$Greeting = stripslashes($Greeting);
$IntroMessage = stripslashes($IntroMessage);
$EndMessage = stripslashes($EndMessage);

$Today = (date ("l dS of F Y ( h:i:s A )",time()));

$Created="Ecard Created on $Today";

$EcardNum = $EcardSelect;

$EcardText = "ToName=$ToName&ToEmail=$ToEmail&FromName=$FromName&FromEmail=$FromEmail&Greeting=$Greeting&IntroMessage=$IntroMessage&Created=$Created";


$fp = fopen( "./dbtext/$filename","w");
fwrite($fp, $EcardText, 10000);
fclose( $fp );
