Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in

[Flolondon]

hi there

what have i done wrong, this is the message, i get when using a php checker...Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in

i have researched and it states that it could be an excessive bracket or lack of bracket. please help..

function checkEmail($email) { if (eregi("^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+$]",
$email)) { return FALSE; } list($Username, $Domain) = split("@",$email);
if(getmxrr($Domain, $MXHost)) { return TRUE; } else { if(fsockopen($Domain,
25, $errno, $errstr, 30)) { return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; } { {
if(checkEmail($_POST['email']) == FALSE) { echo" Sorry E-mail entered
is not valid."; } else { echo "Success - please to to your email and click
on the link to registrar!."; }
?>

the braces are fairly messed up. Try reformatting your code, it helps a lot with brace matching.

function checkEmail($email) { 
 if (eregi("^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+$]", $email)) { 
 return FALSE;  
 } 
 list($Username, $Domain) = split("@",$email); 
 if(getmxrr($Domain, $MXHost)) {  
 return TRUE; 
 } else { 
 if(fsockopen($Domain, 25, $errno, $errstr, 30)) { 
  return TRUE; 
 } else {  
  return FALSE; 
 }  
 { { // remove these 2 
 if(checkEmail($_POST['email']) == FALSE) { 
  echo" Sorry E-mail entered is not valid."; 
 } else {  
  echo "Success - please to to your email and click on the link to registrar!."; 
 } 
 } // add these 2 
}

I tried it and it worked. Thank you so much.

Get a text editor that does brace and paren matching. Lots of programming-oriented editors do and it saves so many headaches.
