Curious T_STRING error

[RedDragon]

$db->query("INSERT INTO ".$prefix."replacements VALUES('4','url','<a href=\\'{param}\\'>{param}</a>','Insert a Hyperlink (replace the X with your url)','[url]http://www.flashbb.net[/url]','','bbcode','bb_url.gif','yes','yes')");

im having problems with this line of code... locally and on my host (php 4.3) it work perfectly but one of my users got an
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING
error in that line...

i dont see the problem, maybe the { has to be escaped for some older php versions?

btw: why do the php tags remove all backslashes ????

thanks for any help,
RedDragon

Well, I'm really not sure what DB you are using here, but in my experiences with databases, I would guess your problem occurs at
"INSERT INTO ".$prefix."replacements

Try using "INSERT INTO $prefix replacements

Also, you may run into trouble with
'<a href='{param}'>{param}</a>'

With most databases, the ' indicates the end of a value. It may choke thinking you are ending your value without placing a comma, and return an error.

Hope this helps 🙂

Try

'<a href="{param}">{param}</a>

its not the prefix, i have hundrets of other queries which dont make any trouble

and the slashes inside are all escaped...

Hi,

Then check the line above that line on which PHP reports the error.

It happens sometimes in PHP.
