Courses Plus Student 3,910 PointsIt throws a syntax error on my closing curly backet "}" of the if-Statement
It throws this error message: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in C:\xampp\htdocs\contact.php on line 46" If i delete the curly bracket, it throws another error and if i add an curly bracket it shows me the same error message.
Could you please help me and tell me my fault ?
Here is the if-statement at the beginning of the contact.php file:
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]== "POST") {
$name=trim($_POST["name"]);
$email=trim($_POST["email"]);
$message=trim($_POST["message"]);
if($name == "" OR $email == "" OR $message=="" ){
echo "You must specify a value for name, email address and message.";
exit;
}
foreach( $_POST as $value){
if( stripos($value, 'Content-Type:') !== FALSE)
echo "This was a problem with the information you entered.";
exit;
}
}
if($_POST["address"] != "") {
echo "Your form submission has an error.";
}
require_once("inc/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
if(!$mail->ValidateAddress($email) ){
echo "You must specify a valid email address.";
}
$email_body="";
$email_body=$email_body . "Name: ".$name."\n";
$email_body=$email_body . "E-Mail: ".$email."\n";
$email_body=$email_body . "Message: ".$message."\n";
// TODO: Send Email
header("Location: contact.php?status=thanks");
exit;
}
?>

Not sure if this is what is causing the error but this line looks to be missing an opening curly bracket:
if( stripos($value, 'Content-Type:') !== FALSE)
Hope that helps
