@NogDogJan 25.2005 — #Sorry, but I can't in good conscience help someone make a page that requires the user to input their email address for no apparent purpose other than to collect it for spamming. Apologies if that's not your intent, but I find it hard to assume otherwise with the limited info provided. @NogDogJan 25.2005 — #OK, you talked me into it (or I couldn't resist the challenge?). ?
@NogDogJan 25.2005 — #
Other than the fact that I typed a ')' instead of a '}' and I forgot a closing quote, it was fine. :rolleyes:
@NogDogJan 25.2005 — #I tested this and it parsed OK (and even worked). As usual, it was just an unbalanced parenthesis.
@NogDogJan 26.2005 — #
Yep, '@' is not a valid URL character, so urlencode() changes it to its octal value (or is it hexadecimal - I don't recall off the top of my head), preceded by a '%' to indicate this.
If you need to reverse this in a subsequent PHP page, use[url=http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php]urldecode()[/url] to convert it back.@NogDogJan 27.2005 — #

Missing a closing '?>', perhaps? (Using a syntax color-highlighting editor like[url=http://www.chami.com/html-kit/]HTML-Kit[/url] helps in finding such things.)
Email box link filler
Hello,
Im trying to setup a page of my site with sponsor links. Heres my goal:
At the top of the page, there is a text box asking for person’s email address. then a OK button. Below are like 10 images hyperlinked. I want to make it so they have to put in their email and hit OK for the hyperlinks to enable, if they dont, the linked images cant be clicked.
Then also, the hyperlinks at the end have uid=xxxx where I want to make the xxxx for every link their email address that thye entered in earlier. This way I can track who signed up for what and what they did. the link is like [url]http://www.adthingy.com/blahblahd&whatever&uid=
Hopefully you follow. Please help me make a page like this
thank you very much in advance,
Jason

[B]Tried it.
I get a error on line 5.
Line 5 is the "{" right after the "if(isset($_POST['email']) "
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/jksoluti/public_html/test1.php on line 5 [/B][/QUOTE]

[B]It works perfectly!
A few modifications though.... ?
How can I make it so after the person hits "Submit" that submit box either vanishes or is disabled and whatever was typed in the box is left there, but the box is grayed out - they cant change the info unless they reload the page?

[B]get a phase error on the echo <<<EOD
after the else. [/B][/QUOTE]
Make sure the [FONT=courier new][B]EOD;[/B][/FONT] has no leading [b]or[/b] trailing white space. (That's my best guess, anyway. It worked for me on my server. But if you cut-and-pasted the code it might have stuck in a trailing space character, or you might have indented it or something?)
