Parse Error

vigilantweather · #1 20-Feb-2006, 23:28

Hi... Please ignore the two prior threads of mine... no one responded and I finally got it to work on my own.

Now I face an error with creating a shoutbox...

Here's the error (it is on my PhpBB 2.x Forums homepage index.php)

http://www.vigilantweather.com/board/index.php is the URL

Error Message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /home/vigilant/public_html/board/index.php on line 277

Here is a sample of line 277 & surrounding areas in index.php --- Hint: Line 277 begins with ' FORUM_LOCKED_IMG And now to the code:

PHP Code:


'FORUM_IMG' => $images['forum'],
        'FORUM_NEW_IMG' => $images['forum_new'],
        ' FORUM_LOCKED_IMG' = > ' L_FORUM' ) $$lang['Forum ' ],

// Start add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD
' U_SHOUTBOX' = > append_sid("shoutbox.$phpEx"),
' L_SHOUTBOX' = > $$lang['Shoutbox ' ],
' U_SHOUTBOX_MAX' = > append_sid("shoutbox_max.$phpEx"),
// End add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD $$images['forum_locked ' ],

Does anyone know how to fix this? If so, please post here ASAP... My board is suffering from errors during times of promotion which spells out trouble!

Help appreciated... thanks

Unless there is something very strange happening before this code, you will have problems with...

PHP Code:


'FORUM_IMG' => $images['forum'],
        'FORUM_NEW_IMG' => $images['forum_new'],
        ' FORUM_LOCKED_IMG' = > ' L_FORUM' ) $$lang['Forum ' ],
        // ABOVE LINE, is trouble    ^^^^^^^

Now, not having phpBB I am guessing but this looks like your run of the mill language file for text substitution. One file with a long list of key=>value pairs. The close parenthesis above is making a mess of things, as well as the L_FORUM part.

Try this, change the FORUM_LOCKED_IMG line to something like

PHP Code:


' FORUM_LOCKED_IMG' = >  $$lang['Forum ' ],
// OR MAYBE
' FORUM_LOCKED_IMG' = >  $images['forum_locked' ],

Did the error go away? I'm not sure that is the $$lang item you want but maybe it will get things moving along?

HTH,
Mark

No it is still there... both deliver the same, original error.

I'm such an idiot. That's what I get for not trying it out first.

The problem is the whitespace between the = and the >.

Make them all look like => and see if it solves your problem. I bet it does, since I was able to replicate your exact error on my board.

EDIT:
Hmmm, looks like you are back up.

One more thing. Check out your menu items in the footer of your main pages. They are all the same on each particular page (but different on each main site page).
