closing quotes

pinhead

apparently this missing closing quotes but I can't find where?

system("c:/progra~1/apache~1/apache/bin/wzzip \"c:\progra~1\apache~1\apache\htdocs\prodacc\downloads\".$name.".zip\" \"c:\progra~1\apache~1\apache\htdocs\prodacc\downloads\".$name);

system("c:/progra~1/apache~1/apache/bin/wzzip \" c:\\progra~1\\apache~1\\apache\\htdocs\\prodacc\\downloads\\".$name.".zip\" \" c:\\progra~1\\apache~1\\apache\\htdocs\\prodacc\\downloads\\".$name);

should be

system("c:/progra~1/apache~1/apache/bin/wzzip \\" c:\\progra~1\\apache~1\\apache\\htdocs\\prodacc\\downloads\\\".$name.".zip\\" \\" c:\\progra~1\\apache~1\\apache\\htdocs\\prodacc\\downloads\\\".$name);

final edit:

system("c:/progra~1/apache~1/apache/bin/wzzip \" c:\progra~1\apache~1\apache\htdocs\prodacc\downloads\\".$name.".zip\" \" c:\progra~1\apache~1\apache\htdocs\prodacc\downloads\\".$name);

??????

Thanks for your help.

I have been doing this for 5 days!!!!

This is the error from your suggestion. I've been here many times before.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '\"'

jeremuck

if the above doesn't work, start trying to break it up into manageable strings that you know will work.

$firstpart
$secondpart.......

EDIT:

what you used, was taken from my post before I was done editing it. try the "final" version with the triple escapes.

Also, you could do what bunkermaster suggested... use ' instead of " on the inside.

Bunkermaster

why don't you use ' strings... like
'your\path\here' see? string concatenation works same way as you used so why bother?

Knowing what this forum is like for taking away \ etc, have a look at the attached text file instead... (could be easier...)

thanks for that but!!!

T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

????????????????
