Hi this is my first post on here so any response would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on a complex php form and keeping getting this error when I click the submit button "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /weburl/process_form.php on line 3" line 3 is "$form = new ProcessForm();" and just to give you an idea the code that follows is "

$form->field_rules = array(
    'fullname'=>'required',
    'dob'=>'required',
    'nin'=>'required',
    'agency'=>'required',
    'contactno'=>'required',
    'weekending'=>'required',
    'journeydetails'=>'required',
    'mileage'=>'required',
    'publictransport'=>'required',
    'totalamount'=>'required',
    'safetyequipment'=>'required',
    'totalamount2'=>'required',
    'contracttickbox'=>'required',
);"

I've been working on this all day and cannot understand why I'm getting this error.

The actual error always precedes the mentioned line number. – mario Mar 2 '13 at 20:23
    
its probably a missing semi colon on the line before – JamesHalsall Mar 2 '13 at 20:24

Two problems:

First omit the last "," in array. Second omit the " at the end.

$form->field_rules = array( 'fullname'=>'required', 'dob'=>'required', 'nin'=>'required', 'agency'=>'required', 'contactno'=>'required', 'weekending'=>'required', 'journeydetails'=>'required', 'mileage'=>'required', 'publictransport'=>'required', 'totalamount'=>'required', 'safetyequipment'=>'required', 'totalamount2'=>'required', 'contracttickbox'=>'required' );

This );" should not have the quote. i.e. );

You have an additional comma and an extra double quote. Remove them.

'contracttickbox'=>'required',
                           --^
);"
--^
