Thank you for your help,Mike.
Here is my php code which is used for validating form.

Jesus, what's with posting your whole code??? We only need to see the bit which is causing you them problem.

If it says there's an error on Line 5, then post lines 1-10 and someone might be able to solve the problem. If you post a huge amount of code and say it's not working, 9 times out of 10, people will glance at the stupid amount of code you've posted and forget it.

Anyways...

<?php
include(&quot;file:///C|/Program%20Files/Apache%20Group/Apache/htdocs/myHome/config.php&quot;);

should be

<?php
include(&quot;file:///C:/Program%20Files/Apache%20Group/Apache/htdocs/myHome/config.php&quot;
[/code]

Change it, see what error's you get (if any) then post only the lines of you code are getting errors on....

Hope this helps....

Why do a URL include using &quot;file:&quot;? At best, it's redundant, at worst it won't work -- the PHP online documentation doesn't include &quot;file:&quot; as a wrapper. Just pass include() the name of the file on the filesystem.

What error, exactly, are you getting? And which line in that mass posting is the offending line?

You know what might be nice? Knowing at which of those lines of code the error occurs....

Lol, you've missed out the most important bit....We need to know at which line the error occurs... and then show us the line...

Then we can start to help...

 

[ingresman]

Do you not ave to do something like $HTTP_POST_VARS(&quot;fred&quot rather tha $HTTP_POST_VARS&quot;fred&quot;. Is this an odd syntax thing I've missed ??

I would also put a phpinfo() call BEFORE the error to see what is being passed into your script. But as most other posters have said try to get the smallest case that you get the error.

ingresman:

What you're seeing is a weird side-effect of the TGML processor on Tek-Tips. For some reason, it removes the brackets when you have a double-quoted string inside brackets.

[ingresman]

that's interesting, thanks for that

 

[sleipnir214]

ingresman:

With PHP code, there are two workarounds:

One is to use single quotes around associative array reference indeces: $a['foo'].

The other is to post all code inside [ignore][ignore][/ignore][/ignore] or [ignore]

[/ignore] TGML tags, both of which turn off TGML processing.

If possible, do both. If not, certainly use the latter.
