PHP Parse Error

I'm new to PHP in Dreamweaver somehwat but understand it well enough to be totally confused as to why I get the following error when the page is loaded:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ' {'}

Help!

Thank you, David. Who did the trick. Cut and paste the code that has errors in it... Beginner indeed.

Just finished your book last week, was an excellent introduction to PHP & DW8, really useful.

See you soon.

  • Help PHP - Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE the meantime

    Hello

    Just wiondered if anyone can help, I edited the files as requested:-

    Wondering if anyone could tell me my mistake?

    Thank you

    I'm not a mind reader: do not know what you are referring to measures or what your code is, especially to line 43 where the error message occurs. It is helpful if you describe exactly what you're doing and your code. Put a semicolon after each line that declares a variable where the unexpected error message variable

    for example:

    $slideshow = "HolyportFC";

  • Parse error: syntax error, unexpected waiting T_VARIABLE in line 47.

    Using phpmyadmin I created a simple query and had introduced the program to create the php code, which reads as follows:

    $sql = ' SELECT * FROM 'Donnees_personnelles' WHERE 1 ORDER BY ' Date and time 'ASC LIMIT 0, 30;

    I copy and paste this statement in my code, parts of it are:

    46. $br = "< br / > '.

    Why make this parse error in this "BOLD" line?

    Watch online 46

    You must add a semicolon

  • Error message when opened in the browser - parse error?

    I'm having this problem when I use the image upload server behavior in my PHP file.  Does anyone have an explanation of this error when I open it in a browser?

    There is also a red exclamation mark next to the server behavior.  Is there a place in Dreamweaver that tells me where the error occurs (in Flash)?

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in... .line 308

    Thanks for your help!

    Balance braces woudn't fix. It's actually a rather obscure PHP function that triggers an error, even if the code is technically correct. Before dealing with that, you download twice form on your page, once in the wrong place and at the right place.

    You must remove the form located on lines 2-25.

    What causes the parse error is how the loop in the dynamic form was built. Change the code at the bottom of the form that is in the body of the page like this:

      /*start dynamic form*/
  for($x=0;$x<$inputfiles;$x++){
    echo "
    
    ";
  } /*end dynamic form*/ ?>

    The problem was that the loop is contained in the HTML code. Normally, it's not a problem, but the PHP parser has been offended and decided to not play ball. Remove the HTML code and using echo to display it, solves the problem.

    I can't comment on the question of whether the rest of the code is OK. You should check with the person who creates the code for you. But the error has been resolved.

  • Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end

    I have the following code in a file to reformat the date.

    <?php do {

    Need help with PHP syntax error
     
			 
    I fight with this error message ""Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF ' for the 66 line that I get. " Here is the code that I use that I got with the help of the users of this site, which is supposed to launch a search for multiple parameters on a mysql database. The red text is the line 66. I just starting to learn PHP and I can not know what to do with it. Is it possible to have two if statements following each other like this? In addition, as I said, I was given this code from the help of this forum, but I don't understand what the purpose is of the $where variable. This code will work also without it? Thanks in advance for any help.
    $query_rsMainItems = ' SELECT * FROM mainitems; $where = false; If (isset($_GET['category']) & &! empty($_GET['category'])) {$. query_rsMainItems = 'category WHERE ='.} GetSQLValueString ($_GET ['category'], 'text');      $where = true; } If (isset($_GET['price']) & &! empty($_GET['price'])) {if ($where) {$query_rsMainItems. = 'AND';}}   } else {$. query_rsMainItems = "WHERE";}     $where = true;   } $query_rsMainItems. = 'price ='. GetSQLValueString ($_GET ['price'], 'text'); } If (isset($_GET['time1']) & &! empty($_GET['time1'])) {if ($where) {$query_rsMainItems. = 'AND';}}   } else {$. query_rsMainItems = "WHERE";}     $where = true;   } $query_rsMainItems. = '(EDT) 1 ='. GetSQLValueString ($_GET ['time 1'], 'text'); } If (isset($_GET['time2']) & &! empty($_GET['time2'])) {if ($where) {$query_rsMainItems. = 'AND';}}   } else {$. query_rsMainItems = "WHERE";}     $where = true;   } $query_rsMainItems. is 'time2 ='. GetSQLValueString ($_GET ['time2'], 'text'); } If (isset($_GET['city']) & &! empty($_GET['city'])) {if ($where) {$query_rsMainItems. = 'AND';}}   } else {$. query_rsMainItems = "WHERE";}     $where = true;   } $query_rsMainItems. = 'city ='. GetSQLValueString ($_GET ['city'], 'text'); } If (isset($_GET['zip']) & &! empty($_GET['zip'])) {if ($where) {$query_rsMainItems. = 'AND';}}   } else {$. query_rsMainItems = "WHERE";}     $where = true;   } $query_rsMainItems. = 'zip ='. GetSQLValueString ($_GET ['zip'], 'text'); } If (isset($_GET['neighborhood']) & &! empty($_GET['neighborhood'])) {if ($where) {$query_rsMainItems. = 'AND';}}   } else {$. query_rsMainItems = "WHERE";}   } $query_rsMainItems. = 'quarter ='. GetSQLValueString ($_GET ['suburb'], 'text');
    			 
    I copied and pasted the code in a local page. Aside from a missing brace after the last line ($query_rsMainItems. = 'quarter ='.) GetSQLValueString($_GET['neighborhood'], 'text');), it works perfectly.
    

    The error message is a unexpected T_IF in line 66. This means that the PHP engine is not expected a conditional clause at this time here. In all likelihood, there is an error at an early stage in the code, which resulted in an unmatched brace.
    

    The code I provided works. I tested completely before posting originally and tested again. The problem is that I tested it in isolation from the rest of the code in your page. Without seeing the whole page, it is impossible to determine where the error is located.

    What Firefox locale (UI language) do you use?
    

    Try a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.
    


    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.
    

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.
    

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
      • 

    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
    


    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

    Can you give us some details? When this message display? Is in your phone or your computer? What is your language? More information you can give us the best.
    

    You use the add-on and Firefox 4? If so, I'll ask you to disable and remove the add-on: Sync is now part of the Firefox browser and you don't need the add-on. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644894 some users solved this problem by uninstalling the add-on.]
