fatal error: Unsupported operand types

[lordruple]

I am trying to build an array to pass to a form. However I keep getting this error

Fatal error:
Unsupported operand types in payment.php on line 177.

It would work while I was creating the file and doing a little testing there, but after that is the error I get.

Below is the array, and i have commented the error line. Please can anyone help me?

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res))
{
echo "<tr><td align=center>";
echo $count++ . "</td><td align=center>";
echo $row['Year'] ? $row['Year'] : "Birth";
echo " </td><td align=center>";
echo !strcmp($row['Style'], "oval") ? "Oval" : "Round";
echo " </td><td align=center>" . $row['UnitPrice'];
echo " </td></tr>\n";
$subTotal += $row['UnitPrice'];
$items += array(
$count -1 => array(
'id' => $OrderId,
'description' => 'Fan Since Decal',
'quantity' => '1',
'price' => $row['UnitPrice'],
'option1' => array(
'name' => 'Year',
'value' => $row['Year'] ? $row['Year'] : "Birth"
),
'option2' => array(
'name' => 'Style',
'value' => !strcmp($row['Style'], "oval") ? "Oval" : "Round"
),
),
); //This is where I get the error line 177
}

As I see it, you're not closing the last array. A little indention shows it...

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res))
{
   echo "<tr><td align=center>";
   echo $count++ . "</td><td align=center>";
   echo $row['Year'] ? $row['Year'] : "Birth";
   echo " </td><td align=center>";
   echo !strcmp($row['Style'], "oval") ? "Oval" : "Round";
   echo " </td><td align=center>" . $row['UnitPrice'];
   echo " </td></tr>\n";
   $subTotal += $row['UnitPrice'];
   $items += array(
      $count -1 => array(
         'id' => $OrderId,
         'description' => 'Fan Since Decal',
         'quantity' => '1',
         'price' => $row['UnitPrice'],
            'option1' => array(
               'name' => 'Year',
               'value' => $row['Year'] ? $row['Year'] : "Birth"
            ),
            'option2' => array(
               'name' => 'Style',
               'value' => !strcmp($row['Style'], "oval") ? "Oval" : "Round"
            ),
         ),
      ); 
   //Should be a ) here
}

Thanks for the reply, but that does not seem to work. Just gives me a

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')'

If I put that there do i need to move the semi colon down or end it with a comma? I am still figuring out the php syntax. Thanks for the help

[LordShryku]

Nvm, I just noticed my indentation is wrong. Is $items a pre-existing array? The += operator usually is used for addition. Adding elements to array would be something different. My guess would be that if you used

$items[] = 
//instead of
$items +=

it would work. I'd need to play with it a bit

[lordruple]

that gives me a

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ','

Maybe I am not doing what you suggested?

this is what I changed it to: (I've marked the arrays to help see where they begin and end)

$items += array( //1
$count -1 => array( //2
'id' => $OrderId,
'description' => 'Fan Since Decal',
'quantity' => '1',
'price' => $row['UnitPrice'],
'option1' => array( //3
'name' => 'Year',
'value' => $row['Year'] ? $row['Year'] : "Birth"
), //3
'option2' => array( //4
'name' => 'Style',
'value' => !strcmp($row['Style'], "oval") ? "Oval" : "Round"
), //4
), //2
),  //I tried taking the , out as well
); //1?
}

In response to the change from += to []. It is in a while loop and I want it to add to the array. If I change it to $item[] = array(...
would it still add to it the way it does now?

[LordShryku]

That's the way you should be adding to the array. I'm playing with using += to add to the array, and it's not really working properly for me.

Well, that works too. I'm stumped 🙁

[lordruple]

Ok I think that is working, but adding the [] changed how I am referencing the array now. I had it as:

$items[2]["option1"]["value"] // the [2] part is coded to increment every time the while loop passes

do I need this now or does adding the [] take care of that for me?

I hope that makes since... let me know if I need to explain my self better?

TIA

[LordShryku]

No, it'll auto increment through the loop on it's own using [], so you can ditch your increment code.

Just out of curiosity...what PHP version are you using?

[lordruple]

PHP 4.3.4

I am trying to reference my array, Thank you for the help. Now just need to call the info. I guess every step needs to be a learning experience

[lordruple]

ok if I am wrong if I commented out the other part that incremented in the array and using the [] method you just helped me with. I should be able to call the array like so:

$items[1]["option1"]["value"]

Right? Cause it is not working, again please forgive my ignorance.

TIA

[LordShryku]

Well, I'm guessing that operand was suspended on arrays in one of the newer versions then. Though, I can't find anything saying that....

The array will have a bit of a new look. You can just do a print_r($items) to view it and how it should be referenced

[LordShryku]

Forgive me, as I'm not so sharp at the moment (I'm all drugged up on NyQuil and TheraFlu), but your code should look like this now

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res))
{
   echo "<tr><td align=center>";
   echo $count++ . "</td><td align=center>";
   echo $row['Year'] ? $row['Year'] : "Birth";
   echo " </td><td align=center>";
   echo !strcmp($row['Style'], "oval") ? "Oval" : "Round";
   echo " </td><td align=center>" . $row['UnitPrice'];
   echo " </td></tr>\n";
   $subTotal += $row['UnitPrice']; 

   $items[] = array(
      'id' => $OrderId,
      'description' => 'Fan Since Decal',
      'quantity' => '1',
      'price' => $row['UnitPrice'],
      'option1' => array(
         'name' => 'Year',
         'value' => $row['Year'] ? $row['Year'] : "Birth"
      ),
      'option2' => array(
         'name' => 'Style',
         'value' => !strcmp($row['Style'], "oval") ? "Oval" : "Round"
      ),
   ); 
}

And you should be able to reference the array like you said, provided that element exists($items[2]["option1"]["value"])

[lordruple]

I just used the

print_r($items);

and it put out:

I think some thing went wrong, or I screwed up the print_r statement. Thanks again for the help.

[LordShryku]

Let's see your code as it stands now....

[lordruple]

$items[] = array(
'id' => $OrderId,
'description' => 'Fan Since Decal',
'quantity' => '1',
'price' => $row['UnitPrice'],
'option1' => array(
'name' => 'Year',
'value' => $row['Year'] ? $row['Year'] : "Birth"
),
'option2' => array(
'name' => 'Style',
'value' => !strcmp($row['Style'], "oval") ? "Oval" : "Round"
),
);

}

[lordruple]

I am setting up the variable as a session variable to pass it do I have to register this different now?

items[], or call on it items[]. or something. I guess I need to see where I am loosing the information

Thank you for your help, I am so ready to be done with this project.
