T variable error in php code

bwd · #1 06-Oct-2004, 04:59

I'm getting an error saying

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/sites/site31/web/showitems.php on line 13

here is my code.

PHP Code:


<?
$CID=$_GET['CID'];
$TID=$_GET['TID'];

include 'templates/toptemplate.php'; ?>
    <td width="790" valign="top" background="images/screen_back.gif" class="screentext"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6">
        <tr> 
          <td valign="top" align="center" class="screentext"> <p><strong>Your Chosen Items</strong></p>
            <p>

<? 
$group=urlencode($_GET['group']); 
include "http://www.website.com/content/item-list.php?CID=612&TID=$_GET['TID']&group=$group&list_columns=5&list_rows=6&link_url=orderitem.php&list_page=$_GET['index']&list_in_new=0&cat=$_GET['cat']"; 
?>


</p>
            </td>
        </tr>
      </table></td>
  </tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

I can not see any problems but have been looking at it and working on it for a while so might be overlooking something.

can anyone see any problems?

thanks

I'm not able to reproduce this error (on PHP 5.0.1)
but you could try quoting your vars, like

PHP Code:


include "http://www.website.com/content/item-list.php?
CID=612&
TID=".$_GET['TID']."&
group=".$group."&
list_columns=5&
list_rows=6&
link_url=orderitem.php&
list_page=".$_GET['index']."&
list_in_new=0&
cat=".$_GET['cat'];

Thanks

I tried this and got the error

Warning: Failed opening 'http://www.website.com/content/item-list.php? CID=612& TID=8& group=java games& list_columns=5& list_rows=6& link_url=orderitem.php& list_page=& list_in_new=0& cat=' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/sites/site31/web/showitems.php on line 22

I'm off to check the permissions of the file.

thanks

hmm, for some reason the php tags add a space after each line.

it works fine when you remove the space after each line.

if this file is a local file(because you mentioned permission) it would be better to include it local, but that can only be done if it's on the same server

Hello bwd,

You just have to remember that if you insert an array inside a string, between double quotes, you can write something like $_GET['TID'] the following ways:

PHP Code:


<?php

$str = "What's the value? {$_GET['TID']}";

// OR

$str = "What's the value? $_GET[TID]";

?>

Thanks

I'm just upgrading to PHP5.0.2 now so hopefully this will sort the problem out and I can use my original code.

If not I will try removing the spaces.

either way I'll let you know the outcome.

regards

This has nothing to do with PHP being version 4 or 5. It will report the same error if you do not make the changes that Allowee or I suggested above.

I just tried allowee's way and still get the same error.

I'll try the other way.

I also am not certain why there's a space after the newline on the web page cause I can't find them in the HTML source... anyway, let me edit Allowee's suggestion for you and it shouldn't fail if you try this instead:

PHP Code:


<?

include "http://www.website.com/content/item-list.php?CID=612&TID=".$_GET['TID'].
"&group=".
$group.
"&list_columns=5&list_rows=6&link_url=orderitem.php&list_page=".
$_GET['index'].
"&list_in_new=0&cat=".
$_GET['cat'];

?>
