Errors?

Hi,

I have phpbb 2 and transferred servers today. I am working on fixing up a portal for my board on the new server.

In my file, board/login.php I get the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/vigilant/public_html/board/login.php on line 138

Here is line 138 of that file:

PHP Code:


$message = $lang['Error_login'] . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_login'], "<a href=\"login.$phpEx?redirect=$redirect\">", '</a>') . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_index'], '<a href="' . append_sid("index.$phpEx") . '">', '</a>');

And when i open board/index.php I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/vigilant/public_html/board/includes/page_header.php on line 145

Here are lines 140-147 of that file: (145 is the { after else on 144)

PHP Code:


message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $message);
}
}
}
else
{
$redirect = ( !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['redirect']) ) ? str_replace('&amp;', '&', htmlspecialchars($HTTP_POST_VARS['redirect'])) : "";
$redirect = str_replace("?", "&", $redirect);

Any ideas?

Any quick help appreciated as this needs to be solved quickly!

Thanks.

I'm still examining this code, however I did notice something from the first piece of code you posted. It may have some effect on the end as well. Here is my thought:

I pulled out this particular piece of the code, everything else looked fine:

PHP Code:


"<a href=\"login.$phpEx?redirect=$redirect\">"

The PHP will return a parse T_STRING error if a variable inside of the line itself cannot be found or recognized, in this case being $redirect and $phpEx. $redirect and $phpEx cannot be found either 1) because it isn't set right [not the case] or 2) because it is an invalid syntax for lookup [the case].

Try this:

PHP Code:


"<a href=\"login.{$phpEx}?redirect={$redirect}\">"

Basically any variable code contained in PHP brackets needs to be contained first so it parses the data correctly. The {} brackets allow the $phpEx and $redirect variables to be interpreted before the rest of the line, kind of like brackets in mathematics. You can either use {} or \"\" like you already did for the line, but doing that might get messy. I just suggest using {} to make it much cleaner.

I hope this is anywhere close to what you were looking for, and hope that it helps. I will keep looking for more...

EDIT:

PHP Code:


append_sid("index.$phpEx")

needs to be:

PHP Code:


append_sid("index.{$phpEx}")

Same thing....maybe all of the errors lie in that? I don't see anything else wrong...
