I have been having a rough time figuring out the problem with a simple script. Can you guys help me figure it out.

Here is part of the script can you tell me what im doing wrong.

Page 1

PHP Code:

<?php

require("./copyrightChecker.php");

$crCheck = "Your_Copyright_Goes_Here";

if ( CopyrightChecker($crCheck) == COPYRIGHT_IS_VALID ) {

} else {

if ( CopyrightChecker($crCheck) == COPYRIGHT_NOT_VALID ) {

echo "The copyright must remain intact in order for this script to work...";

exit;

}

}

?>

Page 2

PHP Code:

<?php

      function CopyrightCheck($crCheck) {

      $crCheck = stripslashes($crCheck);

      $Copyright_Notice = "Copyright &copy; 2000-2009 YourWebsite.com (Your

      Script). All Rights Reserved";

      if ($crCheck != $Copyright_Notice)

      return COPYRIGHT_NOT_VALID;

      else

      return COPYRIGHT_IS_VALID;

      }

?>

any help is greatly appreciated.

Well what seems to be the problem?

[earthone]

first I get this

PHP Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in 

then when I try to fix it all I get is fatal errors.

[Nico]

I don't see any obvious errors. Can you post the whole error, including the name and line number?

And tell us which code belongs to which file?

There is a typo in the function: CopyrightChecker
But other than that and the second if being probably useless it should work.

I don't think you are getting any output.
Shouldn't your copyright notices be quoted?

page 1

PHP Code:

<?php
require("./copyrightChecker.php");
$crCheck = "Your_Copyright_Goes_Here";
if ( CopyrightChecker($crCheck) == "COPYRIGHT_IS_VALID" ) {
} else {
if ( CopyrightChecker($crCheck) == "COPYRIGHT_NOT_VALID" ) {
echo "The copyright must remain intact in order for this script to work...";
exit;
}
}
?>

page 2

PHP Code:

<?php
      function CopyrightCheck($crCheck) {
      $crCheck = stripslashes($crCheck);
      $Copyright_Notice = "Copyright &copy; 2000-2009 YourWebsite.com (Your
      Script). All Rights Reserved";
      if ($crCheck != $Copyright_Notice)
      return "COPYRIGHT_NOT_VALID";
      else
      return "COPYRIGHT_IS_VALID";
      }
?>

Or are your copyright notices, functions that return a value?

page 1

PHP Code:

<?php
 require("./copyrightChecker.php");
 $crCheck = "Your_Copyright_Goes_Here";
 if ( CopyrightChecker($crCheck) == COPYRIGHT_IS_VALID() ) {
 } else {
 if ( CopyrightChecker($crCheck) == COPYRIGHT_NOT_VALID() ) {
 echo "The copyright must remain intact in order for this script to work...";
 exit;
 }
 }
 ?>

page 2

PHP Code:

<?php
       function CopyrightCheck($crCheck) {
       $crCheck = stripslashes($crCheck);
       $Copyright_Notice = "Copyright &copy; 2000-2009 YourWebsite.com (Your
       Script). All Rights Reserved";
       if ($crCheck != $Copyright_Notice)
       return COPYRIGHT_NOT_VALID();
       else
       return COPYRIGHT_IS_VALID();
       }
 ?>

And where is CopyrightChecker() all I see is CopyrightCheck($crCheck) ?

I was assuming they're constants. Although I haven't seen them being defined anywhere.
