Php Mail Form Question

    Can someone look at this PHP Mail Form code and tell me what I have wrong? I am getting a parsing error on line 13.


    <?
    $Title = $_REQUEST['Title'];
    $URL = $_REQUEST['URL'];
    $Category = $_REQUEST['Category'];
    $Description = $_REQUEST['Description'];
    $Name = $_REQUEST['Name'];
    $Email = $_REQUEST['Email'];
    $URLExchange = $_REQUEST['URLExchange'];

    if (!isset($_REQUEST['$Email'])) {
    header("Location : http://www.quoteforinsurancedirectory.com/free-listing.html");
    }
    elseif (empty($Title) || (empty($URL) || (empty($Description) || (empty($Name) || (empty($Email) || (empty($URLExchange)) {
    header ("Location : http://www.quoteforinsurancedirectory.com/form-error.html");
    }
    else {
    mail("admin@quoteforinsurance.com", "Link Exchange Request", "Title: $Title/nURL: $URL/nCategory: $Category/nDescription: $Description/nContact Name: $Name/nContact Email: $Email/nURL of Link Exchange: $URLExchange/n", "From: $Email" );
    header( "Location : http://www.quoteforinsurancedirectory.com/thank-you-request.html");
    }
    ?>

    }
    elseif (empty($Title) || (empty($URL) || (empty($Description) || (empty($Name) || (empty($Email) || (empty($URLExchange)) {
    PHP:
    should be

    } elseif ( (empty($Title)) || (empty($URL)) || (empty($Description)) || (empty($Name)) || (empty($Email)) || (empty($URLExchange)) ){
    PHP:
    your parentheses are off...

    So it should read as this?

    elseif
    (empty($Title)
    (empty($URL)
    (empty($Description)
    (empty($Name)
    (empty($Email)
    (empty($URLExchange)
    {
    header ("Location : http://www.quoteforinsurancedirectory.com/form-error.html");
    }

    I just used ifs....for each one, it may take a few more lines of code, but it work's...like

    if($description == ''){
    echo "You need to fill in a description, go <a href=yourformpage.php>back</a>";
    }

    That way you can specify which was left blank...

    For every ( you nee to have a respective ). You have 12 left parens between elseif and the bracket. You only have 6 right parens.


    
    (empty($Title))
    (empty($URL))
    (empty($Description))
    (empty($Name))
    (empty($Email))
    (empty($URLExchange))
    
    PHP:
    Would be a good start, but you also need an additional set of () around the entire if statement:

    
    elseif ( // open paren
    (empty($Title)) ||  // conditional 1
    (empty($URL)) ||  // conditional 2
    (empty($Description)) ||  // conditional 3
    (empty($Name)) ||  // conditional 4
    (empty($Email)) ||  // conditional 5
    (empty($URLExchange)) || // conditional 6
    ) // close paren for elseif statement
    {
    header ("Location : http://www.quoteforinsurancedirectory.com/form-error.html");
    }
    
    
    PHP:
    got it?

    edit: added ||s

    I have the paren fixed as per your instructions. The error I am getting is this:

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/quotefor/public_html/add-link.php on line 13

    <?
    $Title = $_REQUEST['Title'];
    $URL = $_REQUEST['URL'];
    $Category = $_REQUEST['Category'];
    $Description = $_REQUEST['Description'];
    $Name = $_REQUEST['Name'];
    $Email = $_REQUEST['Email'];
    $URLExchange = $_REQUEST['URLExchange'];

    if (
    !isset($_REQUEST['$Email']
    )
    {
    header("Location : http://www.quoteforinsurancedirectory.com/free-listing.html");
    }
    elseif (
    (empty($Title))
    (empty($URL))
    (empty($Description))
    (empty($Name))
    (empty($Email))
    (empty($URLExchange))
    )
    {
    header ("Location : http://www.quoteforinsurancedirectory.com/form-error.html");
    }
    else {
    mail("admin@quoteforinsurance.com", "Link Exchange Request", "Title: $Title/nURL: $URL/nCategory: $Category/nDescription: $Description/nContact Name: $Name/nContact Email: $Email/nURL of Link Exchange: $URLExchange/n", "From: $Email" );
    header( "Location : http://www.quoteforinsurancedirectory.com/thank-you-request.html");
    }
    ?>

    The problem seems to be in the first part of the code:

    if (
    !isset($_REQUEST['$Email']
    )
    {
    header("Location : http://www.quoteforinsurancedirectory.com/free-listing.html");
    }

    Again you are missing a closing paren.

    if ( 
    !isset($_REQUEST['$Email']) // add the paren here
    ) 
    PHP:
