Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ECHO, expecting ',' or ';'

and here is the line
"Free ", $myTxt[$pick], " E·Zine</span></a>\n";

Thank you

CTR + ALT + DEL

Does this work still?

d00t · 01-20-2005, 07:48 PM

google it..

FlexxAeon · 01-20-2005, 07:50 PM

i think it needs to be "Free ". $myTxt[$pick]. " E·Zine</span></a>\n";

but i'm still an intermediate on PHP so i could be wrong

You have to show the lines before and after it. No one can tell what you're trying to do in that one line.

fine, heres before and after.

echo "<span style=\"font-size: 16pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, sans-serif\">\n"
echo "Free ", $myTxt[$pick], " E·Zine</span></a>\n";
echo "</div>\n";

echo "<span style=\"font-size: 16pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, sans-serif\">\n";
echo "Free ", $myTxt[$pick], " E·Zine</span></a>\n";
echo "</div>\n";

echo "<span style=\"font-size: 16pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, sans-serif\">\n";
echo "Free ", $myTxt[$pick], " E·Zine</span></a>\n";
echo "</div>\n";

You're missing the ; after the first line.

Thank you damian and Stuart.

Cogitator · 01-20-2005, 08:07 PM

Thats ok. I didnt think you were rude.

Azlord · 01-20-2005, 08:18 PM

It's easier and a lot cleaner to break out of the php and then use short hand for echoing it out

<?=$blah?>
That way you don't have to escape a ton of " marks.

<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, sans-serif">
Free <?=$myTxt[$pick]?> E·Zine</span></a>
</div>

You're missing the ; after the first line.

You don't need the ; cause echo can span several lines

Try this as was suggested above:

echo "Free ".$myTxt[$pick]."E·Zine</span></a>\n";

Forget echoing html ever again. Start doing this NOW, you'll thank me in the future

Use Smarty - a templating engine for PHP.

http://smarty.php.net/

GiantGnome · 01-21-2005, 01:38 PM

what about this one?

if (stristr($_SERVER["SERVER_SOFTWARE"], "apache") !hahahaha false)
include( "http://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . "/scripts/febfpa2link.html" );

?>

I'm asuming you have a double equal sign after that !

Don't... it's just !=

example:

Code:

if (stristr($_SERVER["SERVER_SOFTWARE"], "apache") != false)
        include( "http://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . "/scripts/febfpa2link.html" );

alt + 4 should work
