Hi All,
Seems like I'm getting to be a regular fixture here but ... I'm baaack!

Using win 7, XAMPP, PHP 5.3 & NoteTab, a semi-ide as my text editor:

I've created a Function that works on other pages but after working for
some time, no longer functions. I don't think the Function is the
obvious problem; see below it for more details. The function is:

109 // FUNCTIONS USED: ------------------------------
110
111 function check_input($data)
112 {
113 $data = trim($data);
114 $data = stripslashes($data);
115 $data = htmlspecialchars($data);
116 return $data;
117 }
118 ?>
============== end function =========

That code resides at the end of the php page in question so there is
normally nothing after it but a session_destroy() and a die(); Message
has been e-mailed. The error message is:

----------- error message ----------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\xampp\htdocs\twa2.php
on line 114
----------- end error message -----------

BUT, moving the lines around and monitoring the line number the
error is reported on seems to be PAST line 117 OR line 117, depending on
(your guess is as good as mine).

I've removed the PHP End (?>) and of course that results in the expected
error message. Deleting session_destroy and die had no effect on
anything; error lines remained in the same places, different line
numbers of course.

Realizing PHP's often misleading line numbers, I went through each and
every use of the function call on the entire page.

I don't understand what the "unexpected $end" might be; I've looked and
looked without sucess. All I feel sure of at the moment is that it's
not the function itself: I've used it and others on other pages and
other forms and they all worked fine. I'm going to restudy my error log
and see if I can find anything there but I don't think I will. I'm
thinking it's actually a type somewhere but darned if I can find it!
Hmm, wonder if it matters where the function is located within the
file? I'll have to look into that more.

So ... if anyone has any ideas, leads, suggestions or comments on this
matter I'd sincerely appreciate your input and will provide anything
else I can should you have questions.
I am not allowed to post full code, so the above is really all I can
reveal in actual code.
I don't think I'm a newbie, but at the same time I'm not overly
experienced either; still a lot to learn!

Thanks in advance,

Twayne`
