.php question. I used the right txp code but it didn't work
Hi guys,
I decided to utilize a php forum on my contact page of my site at:http://www.runjeeta.com/contact and i got the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’ in /home/.debonhair/runjeeta/runjeeta.com/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(1731) : eval()’d code on line 2
I used the <code><txp:php></txp:php></code>
I don’t think its my php code. I tested it out with a forum done in php that I already know to work….
Any ideas?

Forum == Form?
Let’s see the code, because it is the code: <code>eval()’d code</code>

The error message comes straight from PHP. It means what it says: there’s a syntax error on line 2 of your code, around the ‘&’ character. Line 1731 of taghandlers.php is where the Textpattern txp:php tag runs your code. More in the FAQ.

Ok. thanks. I’ll keep working on it. Also, I was wondering. You know, the only reason I wanted to use php or my contact form is beucase I believe it to be secure and spam proof. But, I saw that there is a txp:mail tag. Is that really spam proof? I looked up the tag in the textbook for textpattern but….yeah…the page was blank.

Looks fine from here.
Nothing is really “spam proof”. The txp:email tag uses a simple entity encoding method that will defeat simple scripts. A contact form is better.

You can also try out zem_contact as a plugin too.

Re: .php question. I used the right txp code but it didn't work
I got the plug in going ( the one by zem) but I can’t make heads or tails of one of the directions. sorry! I wanted a thank you form after people emailed. so, made a thanksform in my form section and then put <txp:zem_contact form=“thanksfrom”> in my article after <txp:zem_contact mailto=“myemail.exmaple.com”/> and it doesn’t work. I mean, the thank you doesn’t show up and I get a No mailto address specified error.
What am I doing wrong now? please help!
