Hey...I am working on a website that I can add links to proxy's to and that otehr people can submit, I saw a script that does just this and it costs :P I don't need alot of features but basicly right now I have a form to flat file / emailer (to notify me) If a user submits one but I have one problem...here is my code:

PHP Code:

<?php
$url = $_GET["proxysite"];
$name = $_GET["name"];

print("<b>Thank You!</b><br />Your information has been added! You can see it by <a href=savedinfo.php>Clicking Here</a>");
$out = fopen("proxies.php", "a");
if (!$out) {
print("Could not append to file");
exit;
}
fputs ($out,implode,("\n"));
fwrite($out,"<a href="$url">Test</a><br />");
fclose($out);
$msg = $url;
$from = $from = "From: submitted@colinsmiley.net";
mail("proxies@colinsmiley.net", "Proxy Submission", "$url");
?>

The error I get:

Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in C:\wamp\www\proxylist\submit2.php on line 15

I know the problem with the code is here:

PHP Code:

fwrite($out,"<a href="$url">Test</a><br />"); 


But I don't know how to fix it, Please help me...thanks

When you move in and out of a string, you need to append each part with a dot . or escape quotes so it won't confuse the parser.

Either:

PHP Code:

fwrite($out,"<a href='" . $url . "'>Test</a><br />"); 


Or:

PHP Code:

fwrite($out,"<a href=\"$url\">Test</a><br />"); 


will work

As above about quotes but your error is this

PHP Code:

$from = $from = "From: submitted@colinsmiley.net";

// should be 

$from ="From: submitted@colinsmiley.net";

I don't think this an error. I believe that is perfectly allowed. If you want to assign a value to two variables you can write

PHP Code:

$a = $b = "value"; 


In this case $a and $b happens to be the same variable. It basically mean

PHP Code:

$from = "From: ...";
$from = $from; 


It's absolutely unnessesary, but not an error. The error in the script is the one pointed out by mgraphic.
