Question

I am trying to use the form below to submit 4 images to a MySQL database. When I click the “Upload Image” button, an error saying syntax error, unexpected $end in ...postsubmit.php on line 235 appears. Line 235 has nothing on it; it’s just the last line on postsubmit.php. Any idea why I’m getting this error?

Thanks in advance,

John

The form:

    echo '<form method="post" action="postsubmit.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">

          <input type="hidden" value="'.$_SESSION['loginid'].'" name="uid">

           <div class="imagetitle"><label for="image">Image 1:</label></div>
           <div class="imagefield"><input type="file" name="image" /></div>

           <div class="imagetitle2"><label for="image2">Image 2:</label></div>
           <div class="imagefield2"><input type="file" name="image2" /></div>

           <div class="imagetitle3"><label for="image3">Image 3:</label></div>
           <div class="imagefield3"><input type="file" name="image3" /></div>

           <div class="imagetitle4"><label for="image4">Image 4:</label></div>
           <div class="imagefield4"><input type="file" name="image4" /></div>

           <div class="submissionbutton"><input type="submit" value="Upload Image" /></div>



</form>';

Answer 1

Typically that error is from the PHP parser reaching the end of the script before expected syntax is found. More than likely an unclosed curly brace }.
