Hi all, Bit of a newbie to PHP, but an struggling along. I've got together the code below for a form, but am getting a parsing error when trying to view it on the net.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_OR in /home/practice/public_html/291205/index.php on line 54

Any help very much appreciated.

Dexie.

¦¦ (numberOfIntegers($phone)) < 6) ¦¦!

There's a problem with the parenthesis (brackets), in that section.

That could be it.

Sorry about the time to answer, I occassionally look at the unanswered questions page, hence I spotted your query.
