Cheers
Rawlijr:thumbsup:

is that all the code? it looks like you need 2 curly braces at the end of it.

<?
}
}
?>


so the end of the script it would be that?

and with that a error comes

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/thugki/public_html/credits.php on line 151

this is what the last 10 lines should look like:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/thugki/public_html/credits.php on line 153

why don't you copy paste your updated code since what I suggested is correct.
you also should be doing $action=='purchase' instead of $action==purchase

here is the new code


<?

If that doesn't work, then try adding/subtracting { and }s from the bottom of the script.

what you posted now is different from your original post. do this on the last couple lines

ok i tried that and it didnt work...but then i added a }...and now nothing shows up?


so now the bottom looks like this


<?

}

?>

Well, this may be simple.... you are calling a function. Are you actually calling it?

not sure lol

xP

Well that may be something to check out.

do you see where it says function paypal(...) ? it means you need to call that function now if you want it to run what's inside the function.
here you go:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.functions.php#functions.user-defined

<?
function paypal($price,$credits,$custom)
{
echo " function paypal.\n";

global $GAMENAME, $DOMAIN;
?>


that is at the top of the script now...and still nothing enless i didnt so something right?

That is horrible, horrible code.
You have a function with reams of html in the middle, that then seems to call itself?

...stuff...
<?=paypal(20.00,'7,500',$custom)?>
...more stuff...


Where does $action come from anyway>

you have:

<table width="98%">
<?
{
?>

in the middle of the code? why?

i got it thanx alot guys
:D
