Parse error. how to fix/determine problem?

[eac]

Hello, I found this code earlier on, however, it causes an error with the }. The error is:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' ... on line 19

The line of code is:
if ($currdir=@opendir($path."/".$dirlist[$i])
{

The full code if necessary is below. Just curious what to do, if I remove it, more errors follow. It's something for the future that I am sure would help me, not just with this script.

thanks

   $path = "./";

if ($maindir = @opendir($path)) // OPEN THE TOP LEVEL
{
    while ($subdir = readdir($maindir))
    {
         if ($subdir!='.' && $subdir!='..' && is_dir($maindir."/".$subdir))
         {  $dirlist[sizeof($dirlist)]=$subdir;  }
    }
    closedir($maindir);

// RUN THROUGH THE DIRLIST ARRAY AND GET FILES
sort($dirlist);
for($i=0; $i<sizeof($dirlist); $i++)
{
     if ($currdir=@opendir($path."/".$dirlist[$i])
     {
          while ($file = readdir($currdir))
          {
               if ($file!='.' && $file!='..' && is_file($path."/".$dirlist[$i]."/".$file))
               {  $filelist[sizeof($filelist)]=$file;  }
          }
          sort($filelist);

          echo $dirlist[$i]."<BR>\n";
          for($i=0; $i<sizeof($filelist); $i++)
          { echo "->".$filelist[$i]."<BR>\n";  }
          echo "<BR>\n";
     }
}

It looks like your missing a closing ')' on the line your talking about:

if ($currdir=@opendir($path."/".$dirlist[$i])

should be:

if ($currdir=@opendir($path."/".$dirlist[$i]))

with the closing ')' on the end. Thats why its say 'unexpected }', cause you haven't properly closed the last function. I haven't sorted through the rest of the code for possible parse errors but that should be the problem with that line.

The php interpreter doesn't lie, if you get a parse error look at the line it says and the lines above and below, even up to or down to the next '}' curly brace.

You need to put another ) at the end of if ($currdir=@opendir($path."/".$dirlist[$i])

[acidbox]

you forgot the closing ) on this line: if ($currdir = @opendir($path . "/" . $dirlist[$i])

That's right, (Slaps head)

ugh.

Thanks. That works, it's just now the thing won't display the
directories and files as I thought it would

No more errors, just no output. what dumb mistake am I making?

Thanks

If your recursively trying to list directories, there is a good example in the manual here:

No, I'm trying to list directories
and the file names under them 🙁

I can't find out how I try every php.net page
every damn site every board

I had it almost working on windows but won't appear to do anything on linux but barf errors

I can get a million directories to line up. :/ I just can't get a list of the files IN that directory listed UNDER that directory name

It sucks. Imagine if you wanted members to download zip files from directories but instead of clicking the dir name, listed under the dir name is that file link. That's what I wanted. It seems impossible

Thanks
