PLEASE HELP .. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']'

[justted]

Hello everyone,

I paid for this script which is a community that offers its members the chance to get a club and joijn other members clubs!

However, when people try to join a club they getb this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /home/cyberpet/public_html/club_join.pro.php on line 14

I have emailed the guy who owns the website and script who has not bothered replying to the many problems I have encountered so far. Luckily I have been able to sort through the other problems and have had to learn the script as I do not know PHP, MySQL etc.

The line of the script that the above error refers to is as follows:

<?php

/*

Join club (club_join.pro.php)

*/
ob_start();
$rank_check = 1;
include "global.inc.php";
$clubrank_check = 0;
include "club.inc.php";

if ($getclub[private]== 1)
{
    die(header(error("club.php?game=$game&clubid=$clubid","You can't join a private club.")));
}

kind regards

justin

Because private is a keyword in PHP. Also, when using a variable inside brackets is also requires the $.

Hello ...sorry about that! This is the full code for the document....

<?php

/*

Join club (club_join.pro.php)

*/
ob_start();
$rank_check = 1;
include "global.inc.php";
$clubrank_check = 0;
include "club.inc.php";

if ($getclub[private]== 1)
{
	die(header(error("club.php?game=$game&clubid=$clubid","You can't join a private club.")));
}

if ($clubrank > 0)
{
	die(header(error("club.php?game=$game&clubid=$clubid","You are already a member of this club.")));
}

if ($getmemberdata4[id])
{
	die(header(error("club.php?game=$game&clubid=$clubid","You are already a member of a club.")));
}

mysql_query("UPDATE clubs2 SET members = '$getclub[members]+1' WHERE id = '$clubid' AND game = '$game'");
mysql_query("INSERT INTO club_members2 (club,user,position,game) VALUES ('$clubid','$userid','1','$game')");
header(error("club.php?game=$game&clubid=$clubid","Thank you for joining $getclub[name]."));

?>

Hello, im having the same problem but i have a lot of "private", does every instance of it need the $

Here are some examples

$journal['private']

So does that private need a $

and what about something like

'private'		=> INT,

last but not least what about this

$entry['private']= $private;

the word "private" appears twice, do they both need the $ symbol?

Thanks a lot in advanced.
