T_STRING error

Evil Kenevil · #1 28-Feb-2005, 02:25

Well I am trying to create a custom page for my gaming ladder website www.stormgaming.net and I am getting an error on my custom page which is www.stormgaming.net.

My error looks like this -
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xboxstor/public_html/affiliates.php on line 41

My affiliates page looks like this -

PHP Code:


<?
$indexloaded=1;

include("config/config.php");
include("$dir[func]/global.php");


if($ladderid){
$ladderinfo=mysql_query("SELECT laddername FROM ladders WHERE id='$ladderid'");
$linfo=mysql_fetch_array($ladderinfo);

if(!$linfo[laddername]){
include("$dir[func]/error.php");
display_error("Unknown Ladder ID.<br>");
}

}

$tablehead=table_head("show","","","left");
$tablefoot=table_foot("show");

$bannerhead=table_head("show","488","80","center");
$bannerfoot=table_foot("show");

$out[body]=$out[body]."
<center>
$bannerhead
$out[banner]
$bannerfoot
</center>

$tablehead
<table width='517' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
<tr>
<td width='517' valign='top' align='center'>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><font class='catfont'>Storm Gaming Affiliates</font></strong>
<hr class='catfont' size='1'>
<div align="left">
  <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">If you want to become an affiliate please contact our <a href="mailto:crimsonspy@stormgaming.net" class="style1">Administrator</a>.</p>
  <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"><font size="1">&nbsp;</font></p>
  <p style="margin-top: 2; margin-bottom: 2">Xbox Live Nation - <a href="http://www.xboxlivenation.com" class="links">www.xboxlivenation.com</a></p>
  <p style="margin-top: 2; margin-bottom: 2"> Gamertag Pics   - <a href="http://www.gamertagpics.com" class="links">www.gamertagpics.com</a></p>
  <p style="margin-top: 2; margin-bottom: 2"> HGCX - The Hardcore Gaming Compound   - <a href="http://www.hgcx.com/" class="links">http://www.hgcx.com/</a></p>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
$tablefoot";

include("$dir[curtheme]");
?>

any help is appreciated.
Thanks

IF you had posted your example code with the supplied bbcodes for PHP syntax highlighting, you would have solved this problem within seconds of posting the message...

Looking at the code, it's obvious that you have to escape all the double quotes within this block of code:

PHP Code:


$out[body]=$out[body]."
<center>
$bannerhead
$out[banner]
$bannerfoot
</center>

$tablehead
<table width='517' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
<tr>
<td width='517' valign='top' align='center'>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><font class='catfont'>Storm Gaming Affiliates</font></strong>
<hr class='catfont' size='1'>
<div align=\"left\">
  <p style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0\">..."; // other code snipped so I don't do all the work here lol!

I get:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /hsphere/local/home/mreditor/theforeigner-japan.com/template/index.htm on line 1

on this line (taken from the W3C website):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Any idea what's wrong with it? When I delete that line from the code the page works fine.

Hello EelcoH,

What you describe is a very common error - one I have made myself in the beginning...

Try splitting the end bit of that line into something like this:

PHP Code:


<?php

echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?' . '>' ;
// the rest of your code...

// and note the closing tag on the next line, notice anything familiar? ;)
?>
