Oh, and there's no ; after your $formid line.

[Chris-2k]

Sorry about the language...

Fixed the ; here:

PHP Code:

<?php
if($_POST['submit']{ 
          
          $formid = $_POST['submitdownloads']; //standard variables are easier to work with
                if(isset($_COOKIE[$formid]){ 
                    if($_COOKIE[$formid] >= 2){ 
                        echo("Thanks for submitting your downloads, you have now reached the limit");
                        } else {
                    $_COOKIE[$formid] += 1;
                        echo("Submitting data...");
                        } else { 
                    setcookie($formid, 1, 86400); //name formid, value 1, expires in 86400 seconds
    } 
}
?>

now got this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/chris2009/xtremeddl.net/submit.php on line 89

Edit: here's my whole form:

PHP Code:

       <form action="" method="post">

<?php
if($_POST['submit']{ 
          
          $formid = $_POST['submitdownloads']; //standard variables are easier to work with
                if(isset($_COOKIE[$formid]){ 
                    if($_COOKIE[$formid] >= 2){ 
                        echo("Thanks for submitting your downloads, you have now reached the limit");
                        } else {
                    $_COOKIE[$formid] += 1;
                        echo("Submitting data...");
                        } else { 
                    setcookie($formid, 1, 86400); //name formid, value 1, expires in 86400 seconds
    } 
}
?>


        <?php
        for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++) {
        ?>

        <div>
        <input type="text" class="inputbox" name="title[]" id="dt1" cols="80" />
        <input type="text" class="inputbox" name="url[]" id="du1" />
        <select name="type[]" class="inputbox smallbox" id="se1">
        <?php
        foreach($core->allowed_types as $at) {
        echo '<option value="'.$at.'">'.$at.'</option>';
        }
        ?>
        </select></div>
        <?php
        }
        ?>

        <div>Site Name: <input type="text" class="inputbox" name="sname" id="zname"/>
        Site URL: <input type="text" class="inputbox" name="surl" id="zurl"/><br />
        Email: <input type="text" class="inputbox" name="email" id="zemail"/>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit Downloads" /></div>

        <div><?=$core->error?>
        <br /><?=$sub_success?></div>
        </form>

do u have msn to chat?

You are also missing a ) after your first if statement. "if($_POST['submit']){"

Just work on weeding out all instances that are missing characters. That should be it, but if you get any more errors, go to the line that the error is on and it shouldn't be too hard to find what's wrong.

EDIT: A few more errors
1. "if(isset($_COOKIE[$formid])){ "
2. echo "Thanks for submitting your downloads, you have now reached the limit" ; //echoed statements do not need to be surrounded in ()

[tangoforce]

Don't use if (isset($_POST['submit'])) because internet explorer has a but and doesn't always send the submit button value. You should test for other data in the form instead.

Also can I perhaps interest you in the 2nd link in my signature? - You might find it useful for the future

[Chris-2k]

corrected all errors now,

PHP Code:

<?php
if($_POST['submit']){ 
          
          $formid = $_POST['submitdownloads']; //standard variables are easier to work with
                if(isset($_COOKIE[$formid])
                    {
                    if($_COOKIE[$formid]) >= 2){ 
                        echo "Thanks for submitting your downloads, you have now reached the limit";
                        } else {
                    $_COOKIE[$formid] += 1;
                        echo "Submitting data...";
                        } else { 
                    setcookie($formid, 1, 86400); //name formid, value 1, expires in 86400 seconds
    } 
}
?>

now got:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/chris2009/xtremeddl.net/submit.php on line 91

[djh101]

Refer to my last post. if(isset($_COOKIE[$formid]) is still missing a ). You have two opening parenthesis (one before isset and one before $_COOKIE) and only one ending parenthesis.

[tangoforce]

There is also one closing parenthesis too many on this line - 2 closing and 1 opening:

if($_COOKIE[$formid]) >= 2){

[djh101]

Ah yes, you added the ) after the wrong $_COOKIE[$formid].

[Chris-2k]

hi,

fixed:

PHP Code:

<?php
if($_POST['submit']){ 
          
          $formid = $_POST['submitdownloads']; //standard variables are easier to work with
                if(isset($_COOKIE[$formid])) { 
                    if($_COOKIE[$formid]) >= 2 { 
                        echo "Thanks for submitting your downloads, you have now reached the limit";
                        } else {
                    $_COOKIE[$formid] += 1;
                        echo "Submitting data...";
                        } else { 
                    setcookie($formid, 1, 86400); //name formid, value 1, expires in 86400 seconds
    } 
}
?>

now im getting:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_GREATER_OR_EQUAL in /home/chris2009/xtremeddl.net/submit.php on line 91

i dunno what this means, help?

As you might guess, I'm definitely not an avid PHPer :-)

Thanks for your help so far! I hope we can get this working!

[tangoforce]

Change:

PHP Code:

($_COOKIE[$formid]) >= 2 


to:

PHP Code:

($_COOKIE[$formid] >= 2 ) 


[Chris-2k]

ok thx, done:

PHP Code:

<?php
if($_POST['submit']){ 
          
          $formid = $_POST['submitdownloads']; //standard variables are easier to work with
                if(isset($_COOKIE[$formid])) { 
                    if($_COOKIE[$formid] >= 2) { 
                        echo "Thanks for submitting your downloads, you have now reached the limit";
                        } else {
                    $_COOKIE[$formid] += 1;
                        echo "Submitting data...";
                        } else { 
                    setcookie($formid, 1, 86400); //name formid, value 1, expires in 86400 seconds
    } 
}
?>

error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/chris2009/xtremeddl.net/submit.php on line 96

ty indeed.

[djh101]

You cannot have an else statement after an else statement. I don't think I need to explain why.

[tangoforce]

Along with having 2 else's, you also have a { too many. For the else problem you have two options: elseif or switch().

I've already recommended you take a look at the second link in my signature about coding styles. You chose to ignore that so i won't be assisting you to find the additional { as apparently you are above my help.

[Chris-2k]

Okay ty, now i end the page like:

PHP Code:

<?php

?>

and get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/chris2009/xtremeddl.net/submit.php on line 185

thats just how the Wcddl script ends pages.. any ideas?
