Whats wrong with this code?

[Pazza]

Hey,

Excellent drew me up a code for job applications, and I've tried to edit it but I get this error when I visit the page:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ']' in /home/bobbafmc/public_html/app/radiomanager.php on line 18

This is my code:


<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])) { //Checks if the applicant has submitted the form.

if((!$_POST['email']) || (!$_POST['name']) || (!$_POST['sub']) || (!$_POST['job'])) { //Make sure they have filled in all fields.

echo "Some fields have been left blank, please go back and refill them!"; //Display the error.
} //End the check on the fields.

else //Maybe..

{
$email = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email'])); //Removes the slashes.
$name = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$sub = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['Radio Manager']));
$job = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['job']));
$exp = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['Any Experience?']));

$unique = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST[How are they unique']));
$them = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['About them']));
$why = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['Why BobbaFM, What will they bring?']));

mail("$mail","$subject","$mess"); //We use the mail(); function to send the email.

$email = "$email";
$message = "Your application has been recieved for the job $job !.You will recieve another e-mail within the next 48 hours regarding whether or not you have been successful. Good Luck!";

Tysvm :)


Yeah you left out a ' so it wasn't expecting the ]

Bloodyhell its more picky than a vegetarian shark (crap metaphor)

I owe you Trinity :)

AAAAAAH FGS - It isn't working, it just refreshes page and the application doesn't get sent :(

Any ideas?

[Trinity]

At the top of the script, you have:

if((!$_POST['email']) || (!$_POST['name']) || (!$_POST['sub']) || (!$_POST['job'])) { //Make sure they have filled in all fields.

echo "Some fields have been left blank, please go back and refill them!"; //Display the error.
}
Why are you checking for $_POST['sub'], I can't find anything with that name, which would cause the script to always give the message "Some fields have been left blank, please go back and refill them!"

Or I've just not read through it properly :)

[Excellent1]

Yeah, remove the (!$_POST['sub']) from the top as you haven't defined that variable in your form, you will get "Some fields have been left blank".

Post your updated code and I'll take a look.

[Excellent1]

Try this:
On your drop downs you have defined value twice, it should be:

<option label="blah" value="blah">Blah</option>

[Pazza]

Nope, the page just refreshes and application doesn't get sent :(

[Excellent1]

Delete your code and use this:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])) { //Checks if the applicant has submitted the form.

if((!$_POST['email']) || (!$_POST['name']) || (!$_POST['job'])) { //Make sure they have filled in all fields.

echo "Some fields have been left blank, please go back and refill them!"; //Display the error.
} //End the check on the fields.
