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

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

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

//$security->set_counters(page);//$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>';
//$pageDtls  = '<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0><tr><td><?region-start id="lines"  type="repeat" ?><center><table class="browseContents" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1"><tr>';
//
//$img_width  = 85;//$img_height = 30;
// Build a grid of ALL cells

lines 12 - 17 as requested thanks for your help

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.

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

<?region-start id="lines" type="repeat" ?>

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? :-)

I had this problem in Joomla! with my php code that I was including in an article through the plugin sourcerer. Well, needless to say, my web hosting changed to php 4 without me knowing why, I changed it to php 5 as the compiling engine and it worked like a charm.

I'm pretty sure you just bumped a thread that was over 2 years old, that has to fit into the Daniweb drinking game if it exists.

Drink up buddy!!! funny

I desperately need and answer the error code:

Well what was the error? Did the computer explode or did the page just not load. If any error messages popped up please post them.

Hi sir,

here's the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /hermes/web05/b1461/pow.walterng/htdocs/esprintsolutions/administrator/index.php on line 230


that's the code i indicated previously on my index.php

according to other forums : something to do with the syntax:

" <?php "

im not a techie on programming stuff , hope you could advise . thanks so much.

Well that error normally refers to not enough ending brackets } or even too many before the end of the script. I just checked your script and there is a bug on the second last line. It looks like you are trying to echo a bracket and when counting the brackets there aren't enough closing brackets before the script ends. So try making the last two lines the following:

} }
?>

i tried what you have suggested sir bu still i get same error. would appreciate your patience and help sir.

thanks

Well I would suggest placing the code into a live syntax highlighter such as notepad++ and check each bracket associated with each if statement to see which if statements need to have a closing bracket added. That is where the problem is as I can see it but am not sure where you would like those closing brackets and exactly how many closing brackets do need adding. An example in your code is the if statement if (isset( $_POST['submit'] )) is does not have a closing bracket.

Well that error normally refers to not enough ending brackets } or even too many before the end of the script. I just checked your script and there is a bug on the second last line. It looks like you are trying to echo a bracket and when counting the brackets there aren't enough closing brackets before the script ends. So try making the last two lines the following:

got the solution already. thanks sir.

I think the problem is here
'<?region-start id="lines" type="repeat" ?>';

You need to have
'<?php region-start id="lines" type="repeat" ?>';
