Hi guys,

I'm doing a mock-up of my page and here what's i got when uploaded it on hosting:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /var/www/html/...services.php on line 6

Here's the code:

class ServicePage extends Page
{
var $row2buttons = array('Translation' = > 'translation.php',
"Travel" => "travel.php",
"Visa" => "visa.php"
);

the line 6 is that starts with "var"

thank you so much!

    May I please see the whole class file so I can see as it might be in a different spot as PHP is not good with exact error lines.

      <?
      require ("page.inc");

      class ServicePage extends Page
      {
      var $row2buttons = array('Translation' = > 'translation.php',
      "Travel" => "travel.php",
      "Visa" => "visa.php"
      );

      function Display()
      {
      echo "<html>\n<head>\n";
      $this -> DisplayTitle();
      $this -> DisplayKeywords();
      $this -> DisplayContentdescription();
      $this -> DisplayStyles();
      echo "</head>\n<body cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0>\n";
      $this -> DisplayHeader();
      $this -> DisplayMenu($this->buttons);
      $this ->DisplayMenu($this->row2buttons);
      echo $this->content;
      $this -> DisplayFooter();
      echo "</body>\n</html>\n";
      }
      }

      $services = new ServicesPage();
      $content = "<table background color=#ffffff border=0 cellspacing=20 cellpadding=20>
      <tr><td>
      <p>Our philosophy is to provide the best possible service for the lowest price.
      </p>/td></tr></table>";
      $services ->SetContent($content);
      $services ->Display();
      ?>

      This is Services Page which inherits from the Page class
      but overrides Display() to alter the output

        um............php is always perfect with exact error lines, even when you do including, as it will you give the line number of the included file. and seeing as he told us the line that was problematic, you could at least look at it.

        Now i have no idea waht is wrong, but try changing the quotes around a bit. or , im not shur, but i think the => assignment operator cannot be writen as = >. try this:

        class ServicePage extends Page
{
var $row2buttons = array("Translation" => "translation.php",
"Travel" => "travel.php",
"Visa" => "visa.php"
);

          LOL sry to say but PHP is not perfect on exact error lines as I have a 131 line script and a error line of 90 was given to me but the actual error was 11 lines up on line79. So I jsut wanted to see the rest of the script that is all.

          However Taya you must be consistent on those quotes but that does not seem to be the error that was given.

            Do you want to have a look at the page.inc - included page?

              Not sure if it would be in the Page.inc but show us anyway as it could be in there but most likely it is somewhere around that line which is the .inc anyway lol so could be but not sure.

                <?
                }
                }
                ?>

                  Ok first all I can say is in the first script you showed try to take this line

                  {
                  var $row2buttons = array('Translation' = > 'translation.php',
                  "Travel" => "travel.php",
                  "Visa" => "visa.php"
                  );

                  and make it this

                  {
                  var $row2buttons = array("Translation" => "translation.php",
                  "Travel" => "travel.php",
                  "Visa" => "visa.php");

                  but I can't really see anything besides the " not being all the same kind. there is not 1 extra ) in all that code you have shown me.

                    i changed "$services=new SerivesPage();"
                    into
                    "$services=new Page();"

                    at the end, line 32 here...

                    so the page shows up but without row2buttons which are translation, travel, visa etc...:-(

                    <?
                    require ("page.inc");

                    class ServicePage extends Page

                    var $row2buttons = array("Translation" => "translation.php",
                    "Travel" => "travel.php",
                    "Visa" => "visa.php");

                    function Display()
                    {
                    echo "<html>\n<head>\n";
                    $this -> DisplayTitle();

                    $this -> DisplayHeader();
                    $this -> DisplayMenu($this->buttons);
                    $this ->DisplayMenu($this->row2buttons);
                    echo $this->content;
                    $this -> DisplayFooter();
                    echo "</body>\n</html>\n";
                    }
                    }

                    $services = new Page();
                    $content = "<table background color=#ffffff border=0 cellspacing=20 cellpadding=20> <tr><td>
                    <p>Our philosophy is to provide the best possible service for the lowest price.</p></td></tr></table>";

                    $services ->SetContent($content);
                    $services ->Display();
                    ?>

                      u have defined the class as ServicePage but u create the object as

                      $services = new ServicesPage()

                      u got an extra s

                          And this is the line 283:
