Function problems

[furious5]

Can anyone help me out with the code below, I am running in to a parse error at the ; at the end of the $days array statement.

I've stared at this for about an hour and can't fathom it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

function convertDate($date){ // Convert String to Actual Date 

$days = array(1 => "-1 day", 7 => "-7 days", 14 => "-14 days", 30 =>"-1 month"); 

if(isset($days[$date])) {
	return date('Y-m-d', strtotime($days[$date]); 
} else { // passed an invalid period. 
	return false; 
}

}

You forgot to close a ) off

function convertDate($date){ // Convert String to Actual Date 

$days = array(1 => "-1 day", 7 => "-7 days", 14 => "-14 days", 30 =>"-1 month"); 

if(isset($days[$date])) {
	return date('Y-m-d', strtotime($days[$date])); 
} else { // passed an invalid period. 
	return false; 
}

}

Try that

Are you sure it's that line?

I tried it and it was line 8:

return date('Y-m-d', strtotime($days[$date]); 

which is fixed by putting the correct number of closing parentheses in that line...

FYI - php doesn't always report the correct line of the error. sometimes, you gotta be a bit more of a detective. 😃

Thank you for this!
