can't figure this out...

[Henri]

I keep on getting this error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in login.php on line 100

this is my code:

case edit:
include("_scripts/rpgnet_session_check.php");
include("_scripts/mysql_connect.php");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM RPGI_rpgnet WHERE username = '$username' AND password='$password'";
$row = mysql_query($sql, $connect) or die("Database choked on query ($sql). MySQL sez: ".mysql_error());
$data = mysql_fetch_assoc($row);

echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"main.php?id=rpgnet/login&action=doedit\">

<center>
<table callpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\">
<TR>
<TD align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#DBB573\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-width: 1; border-color: #FFFFFF;\">

<TD align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#D8D9A0\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-width: 1; border-color: #FFFFFF;\">
&nbsp;&nbsp;<input width=\"200\" type=\"text\" class=\"rpgnet\" name=\"site_url\" value=\"$data['url']\">&nbsp;    *** //////LINE 100///////***
</TD>
</TR>

<TR>

</TD>
</TR>
</table><p>

<button class=\"rpgnet\" type=\"submit\">Apply Changes</button>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<button class=\"rpgnet\" type=\"reset\">Reset</button>

</form></center>";
break;

can anyone tell me what the error means and possibly how to fix it?

thanx

PHP's parser is saying it expected to see either a string, or a variable, or a number (a string of digits). But it didn't, it saw something else instead, and didn't know what to do with it.
Wild guess: is line 100

case edit:

?

[Henri]

it's part of a switch statement. I marked off line 100 for you by the way...

Yes,I know; I kinda think the case ought to be 'edit', though, not edit.

That's okay, it's been a while since I've scrolled horizontally. FFFFFF ///// whatever.

Does this work better?

case 'edit':
?>

ok, I changed it to this:

<TD align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#D8D9A0\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-width: 1; border-color: #FFFFFF;\">
&nbsp;&nbsp;<input width=\"200\" type=\"text\" class=\"rpgnet\" name=\"site_url\" value=\"echo "$data['url']";\">&nbsp;
</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#DBB573\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-width: 1; border-color: #FFFFFF;\">
&nbsp;&nbsp;Your button url:&nbsp;
</TD>

<TD align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#D8D9A0\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-width: 1; border-color: #FFFFFF;\">
&nbsp;&nbsp;<input width=\"200\" type=\"text\" class=\"rpgnet\" name=\"button_url\" value=\"echo "$data['filename']";\">&nbsp;
</TD>

but I still get this error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting ','' or';'' in login.php on line 100

Methinks that what Mr. Weedpacket is attempting to tell you is that PHP will always give you a parse error if you do not enclose PHP code with the proper delimiter tags:

<? php    echo "$var";  ?>

               ------even if it's just one eensie weensie variable that you stick into an HTML form submit value ...'echo' is a php statement, not an HTML tag..

Just out of curiousity, are you using a black & white monitor?

[Henri]

no, I'm using a color monitor, why?

I changed it to this:

<center>
<table callpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\">
<TR>
<TD align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#DBB573\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-width: 1; border-color: #FFFFFF;\">
&nbsp;&nbsp;Your site url:&nbsp;

<TD align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#D8D9A0\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-width: 1; border-color: #FFFFFF;\">
&nbsp;&nbsp;<input width=\"200\" type=\"text\" class=\"rpgnet\" name=\"site_url\" value=\"<?php echo "$data['url']"; ?>\">&nbsp;
</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#DBB573\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-width: 1; border-color: #FFFFFF;\">
&nbsp;&nbsp;Your button url:&nbsp;

<TD align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#D8D9A0\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-width: 1; border-color: #FFFFFF;\">
&nbsp;&nbsp;<input width=\"200\" type=\"text\" class=\"rpgnet\" name=\"button_url\" value=\"<?php echo "$data['filename']"; ?>\">&nbsp;
</TD>
</TR>
</table><p>

but I still get the same error as above

Because the forum's syntax highlighting feature should have tipped you off on where your mistakes are...

Diego

[dalecosp]

OK, now remove the single quotes from the array keys in the echo statements and try one more time 🙂

Gee, Diego, be nice.....you make me sound so harsh 😉

[diego25]

I apologize if I sounded harsh, but I just can't/couldn't find a "nicer" way of saying that...maybe if I used a smilie?

Diego

[dalecosp]

No, it wasn't you who was harsh....gee, I am so subtle sometimes! 😉

Maybe if I used a smilie?

Tee Hee, you are, too!!
