Parse Error

Well...

I have had my phpbb forum since late August 2005. I know little to nothing about MySQL/PHP! My hosting provider has an automatic installation of phpbb at no cost. I believe i have phpbb 2.0.18. But anyway... Last night I went to phpbbhacks for the first time. I downloaded the Jr Admin/Moderator Control Panel hack. Well, I tried to step-by-step follow the installation instructions, which involved many files, and I think I did it correctly--now I rethink that assumption.

When I try to access my phpBB administrator control panel, I get this error, nothing else:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' in [directories to board, i took unimportant ones out]/board/includes/functions_jr_admin.php on line 253

And this is the "real thing" on line 253:
$debug = false;

Like it told me to do... Yet it says there is no ',' or ';'!

It doesn't end here...

On the bottom of every board page (forums, common stuff like that...) reads the following:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ':' in [directories to board, i took unimportant ones out]/board/includes/page_tail.php on line 32

on line 32 I have:
$admin_link = jr_admin_make_admin_link(); '</a><br /><br />' : '';

And I believe I was told to do that!!

Could anyone please help me. I would really appreciate it. Right now I am having a traffic slow-down with this "Hack Horror!"

Thanks.

Re: Parse Error

Hello and Welcome to GIDForums™ vigilantweather. Would it be possible for you to post more of your code than just the particular line. Maybe +and - 10 lines. Your ':' problem very possibly involves a misplaced ' or something similar. The other may be a missing ';' but it is impossible for me to tell without seeing some more code.

When you post it, wrap the whole she-bang in [php] ...your code ...[/php] so it will be marked up. That alone is very helpful in finding misplaced single quotes.

Re: Parse Error

Well, the first error is on functions_jr_admin.php in the board/includes folder. The error is displayed on line 253:

PHP Code:

function jr_admin_secure($file)
{
   global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS, $db, $lang, $userdata, $admin
    
    /* Debugging in this function causes changes to the way ADMIN users
    are interpreted.  You are warned */
    $debug = false;
    
    $jr_admin_userdata = jr_admin_get_user_info($userdata['user_id']);
    
    if ($debug)
    {
        if (!preg_match("/^index.$phpEx/", $file))
        {
            print '<pre><span class="gen"><font color="red">DEBUG - File Accessed - ';
            print $file;
            print '</pre></font></span><br>';
        }
    }
    if ($userdata['user_level'] == ADMIN && !$debug)
    {
        //Admin always has access
        $userdata['user_level'] == ADMIN
        || $jr_admin_userdata['user_jr_admin']
        return true;

And number 2 is in board/includes and named page_tail.php... it says the error is in line 32:

PHP Code:

if ( !defined('IN_PHPBB') )
{
    die('Hacking attempt');
}

//
// Show the overall footer.
//
include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_jr_admin.' . $phpEx);
$admin_link = jr_admin_make_admin_link(); '</a><br /><br />' : '';

$template->set_filenames(array(
    'overall_footer' => ( empty($gen_simple_header) ) ? 'overall_footer.tpl' : 'simple_footer.tpl')
);

$template->assign_vars(array(
    'TRANSLATION_INFO' => ( isset($lang['TRANSLATION_INFO']) ) ? $lang['TRANSLATION_INFO'] : '',
    'ADMIN_LINK' => $admin_link)
);

$template->pparse('overall_footer');

Any help appreciated.. hope that helps too!

Thanks.

Re: Parse Error

The first one is a missing semi-colon BEFORE the error line given. This is very common. That's why I asked to see the lines before the error.

PHP Code:

function jr_admin_secure($file)
{
   // you are missing the semi-colon at the end of the following line
   global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS, $db, $lang, $userdata, $admin
    
    /* Debugging in this function causes changes to the way ADMIN users
    are interpreted.  You are warned */
    $debug = false;

The second one looks like some trouble.
PHP Code:

// your code
//
// Show the overall footer.
//
include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_jr_admin.' . $phpEx);
$admin_link = jr_admin_make_admin_link(); '</a><br /><br />' : '';

Deleted incomplete answer...
I'll look a little deeper if I get a chance later.

Re: Parse Error

I added the semicolon after that list of words like you recommended...

And for #2...

Any recommendations there?

Thanks!!

Ok, now that I have looked at it I'm pretty sure that the semi-colon after jr_admin_etc() should be a question mark. I looks as if it wants to be evaluated that way anyhow, using the conditional operator.

Your code, my guess...
PHP Code:

$admin_link = jr_admin_make_admin_link()? '</a><br /><br />' : '';
The conditional is evaluated as, if the first statement is true, the code between the ? and the : is used, otherwise, the code after the : is used.

Re: Parse Error

How'd you make out with those changes? Inquiry Minds want to Know.
