I uploaded a fresh download of the file and everything seems to be working fine now.

Thanks, Al

well for new php its not worked now using php3 or phtml but yes php can be work on any directory even its cgi-bin directory.
for your problem try to check the code its seem there is an error typing on that script.
if can post the code so we can look the code.

Sadly haven't found anything clear on if GoLive 6 can change that. However you can use any number of free FTP programs like ftp explorer for the transfer of a few files like the script.

As to if it's in the wrong place. No. CGI would matter, becaise some servers force to the cgi-bin directory, but newer servers don't even have that restriction any more. Even that aside, php can be run from anywhere, as long as it's named .php, though php3 and some other naming schemes are supported by certain servers.

The script is running, because if it wasn't you wouldn't get a parse error.

Do you know how to change the method of uploading files (binary or ASCII) in golive 6?

Also, will PHP only work in a certain directory on the server? Maybe I have it in the wrong directory.

Thanks, Al

Well, a parse error like an unexpected '{' means that something in the script is written wrong, and they forgot a semi-colon, or a paranthesis.

Check to see if you uploaded via FTP in binary or ASCII, it shouldn't matter with php, but again, they might have written something wrong. Try reuploading via FTP in ASCII mode, if that doesn't work, try binary, and if none of that works, heck, post the code.

I would suggest that for an easy start you try a cgi based formmail script. One of the most common and easy to use ones is called NMS Formmail.

You can download it here:

A parse error pretty much always means there is a problem with the code on the page. Since the error says the problem is on line 1, if you can post the first few lines for us we will probably be able to point out where it's gone wrong.
