Syntax error, unexpected "
Folks,
Do you spot any logical errors in my script ?
I have not given the full script but the SendMail part where I am encountering problem.
I get error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"' in /home/...... on line 155.
Line 155 is the line before the <html> tag. That line shows this:
$body = "$first_name." ".$surname ?>,
Look at the 5th line from the following code. That is where the error occurs:
It is like this:
$body = "$first_name." ".$surname ?>,
The dbl quote prior to $first_name represents the opening dbl quote for the variable $body.
The 2 dbl quotes in between
$first_name.
.$surname
represent a space. (Space inbetween $first & $surname).
So, $firstname, concatenator, 2 dbl quotes representing the space, concatenator, $surname.
The closing dbl quote for the $body variable is right after the closing html tag (few lines below the $body variable).
I hope that is clear.
Therefore, I do not see any errors on this line:
$body = "$first_name." ".$surname ?>,
According to the error, one of these dbl quotes should not exist. It does not say which one but I'm guessing php is picking on the first one ALL for nothing.
I did not understand others' hints that you do not concatenate inside dbl quotes but sngl quotes only.
