PHP code ? $logpath = "logs"

[holeepassion]

when I tried to load the php page for submitting info from users online. I have this issue of invalid message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/holeepas/public_html/mailcode-includes/config.inc.php on line 94

Line 94 contains the

$logpath = "logs"

Do I need to provide the directory for the logs ? so where should I put it in ?

Thanks ...

Try the line before; PHP and other languages sometimes display an error on the line after that has code on it.

Example:

$php="this is an error because I'm going to forget my semicolon"
$php2="and this is where the error is shown as being.";

Unexpected ":" sounds like you maybe have a colon instead of a semi-colon on the line before the indicated one; see if it's missing a ; at the end of the previous line

Where is $logpath set?

Where is $logpath set?

not sure what you mean but if you mean after $logpath = "logs"
does this mean anything to you ?

should give to you the whole code ? I just use some free codes so not particularly know much about PHP

thanks

Did you create the directory logs? Also make sure it's chmod is 755, as you need to be able to write to it.

If that doesn't work, feel free to re-open this.
