Frontend Parse error

I am getting this error message on all my forms. It only appears on the front end when the form is opened.😟

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting '{' in /home/aroostek/www/www/components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.php(41) : eval()'d code on line 3

I need these forms up immediately. Any help would be greatly apprecited.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi Larry,

Please paste the first half-dozen lines of your form-html code here - looks like there may be an error of some kind in line 3.

Hi Larry,

:-( That's not the problem.

Which version of CF are you using?

Bob

Bob,

I am using V3.0 stable with Joomla Version 1.5.7

Thank you,

Larry

Hi Larry,

do you have DB connection enabled ? or did you select a table to connect to ? this looks like a problem with the connection code because of bad field name at your form, try to check all your form fields names doesn't have any characters other than a-z and 0-9 and _ , also names should not start with numbers!

Regards

Max

Hi. Thanks for advice. I had the same problem. The solution was to label the INPUT NAME's with characters from 'a-z' 'A-z' '_'
For example
<tr>
<td><b>Logo design:</b></td>
<td><input type="checkbox" class="check" name="vytvorenie_loga" value="yes" /></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><b>Flash animation:</b></td>
<td><input type="checkbox" class="check" name="flash_animacie" value="yes" /></td>
</tr>

MySQL tables cannot contain other characters I think.

Yes it was a naming problem, not a bug. You can move this to where it will do the most good.

Thanks for all the help it is greatly appreciated.

Larry

Thanks guys for confirming the issue for everybody here!🙂

Any idea?

Hi gocasco,

As Max said, this looks like a table connection issue. What table are you trying to connect to and what are the field/column names in the table?

Bob

I am sure Bob is correct. It was a field name that I had a problem with. If I disconnected from the database, I know longer had the error. I fixed the field name and reconnected to the database and all works well.
I did notice you had a name in you code named "form_element cf_textbox" I noticed the space in it. Check your field names and makes sure there or no sapces in them.
