ERROR!! please help !

[benbox]

Hi,

I keep getting the error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING on line 34.

I have highlighted line 34 bold in the small bit of code below...

Can anyone spot the problem please? as i am 😕

Many thanks..
Ben

This is my code:

function makeday($date, $weekday) {

if($weekday==6 OR $weekday==7) {
$bgcolour = "f5f5f5" ;
}
else {
$bgcolour = "ffffff" ;
}

if($weekday==1) {
   $weekday_text = "Mon" ;
  }
if($weekday==2) {
   $weekday_text = "Tues" ;
  } etc... etc...

Loads of other irrelevant stuff here...

;
}

It could be a missing semi-colon in the code prior to that line, since without it PHP will keep reading the command up to the next semi-colon. Then give a parse error on line 34 because that's the line the current command ended on.

Can't always depend on the line it gives as the suspect in a parse error.

Sounds like you've forgotten to close a doublequote on one of the previous lines.

Also, (unrelated) what's up with that if statement:

if($weekday==6 OR $weekday==7) {

Surely, there'll never be any weekdays greater than 7 so:

if($weekday>=6) { 

would do the same thing.

might have found the prob from that.. need to test it..

cheers 🙂

$aWeek = array(Mon,Tue,Wed,...);

echo $aWeek[0] returns 'Mon' and so on
