Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING
 

Hi

I am really struggling here and cant see the syntax error.

It is probably a " but could really do with a hand as to why I get the error:

unsxpected T_STRING on line 14

My php code is as follows:

[php]<?php

include_once("php/library/lib.php");
include_once("php/library/template.php");
include_once("php/library/database.php");


//
//$database = new database();//$security = new security();//$security->allowed_get("PHPSESSID");//$security->check_vars(false);//
$page = new template( "index.html" );
//$page->lockToLoggedIn = false;
//$security->set_counters(page);//$page->setRegionVisable("lines",true);// Build the actual page contents display
//$pageDtls = '<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0>';//$pageDtls .= '<tr><td>';//$pageDtls .= '<?region-start id="lines" type="repeat" ?>';//$pageDtls .= '<center>';//$pageDtls .= '<table class="browseContents" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">';//$pageDtls .= '<tr>';
//$pageDtls = '<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0><tr><td><?region-start id="lines" type="repeat" ?><center><table class="browseContents" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1"><tr>';
//

// Display the page

echo $page->process();

?>[/php]

I am desperate for some help as I have been staring at this for a day or so.

all the best

Re: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING
 

First off please put your code inside of the php code tags
[php]Code here[/php]

The error is on line 14 but I can't really tell where line 14 starts in your code. Please either clean the code up a little or just give use lines 12-17 or something like that. Thanks

Well the error isn't in those lines because they are all commented out. The only thing I could see is that maybe the error is in one of the included files.

Re: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING
 

I can tell you that my personal experiences not T_STRING, as in your case, but T_INC came from not putting the "$" sign in front of a variable in a for loop. Check your syntax on your strings and your problem may be hidden somewhere in one of them...

It took me a lot of searching on the internet one day for something so simple. Then, after a some sleep, i woke up and saw the obvious mistake, corrected it, and the program worked perfectly.

do you notice the de color of the code chanched after

[PHP]
<?region-start id="lines" type="repeat" ?>
[/PHP]
the ?> tag closes the php sesion despate it being commened out by //

use of /* */ comment will solve this

I just got Deja vu reading this thread. Twice I thought "I wrote that" and saw someone elses name. Am I having that much of an effect here? :-)
