parse error when using IF in function

[RedheadedAL]

Keep getting a parse error only when I insert this If statement into my function. I marked the line in the error code by a *. I appologize for the structure, and the poorly made code. I'm new, so still learning. Thanks in advanced!

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{'

Function album_display($link_num) {
global $album_start;
global $full_link;
*global $album_menu;
$l = $link_num + album_start;
if (isset($album_menu[$l]) {
$first_link = '<a href="./mytest.php?album_select=';
$second_link = ',album_start=';
$third_link = '" STYLE="TEXT-DECORATION: NONE">';
$fourth_link = '</a></font></div>';
$full_link = $first_link.$album_menu[$l].$second_link.$album_start.$third_link.$album_menu[$l].$fourth_link;
echo "$full_link";
} else {
echo '</div>';
}

}

album_start has no $.

Try this:

Function album_display($link_num) {
	global $album_start;
	global $full_link;
	global $album_menu;
	$l = $link_num + $album_start;
	if (isset($album_menu[$l])) {
		$first_link = "<a href=\"./mytest.php?album_select=";
		$second_link = ",album_start=";
		$third_link = "\" STYLE=\"TEXT-DECORATION: NONE\">";
		$fourth_link = "</a></font></div>";
		$full_link = $first_link.$album_menu[$l].$second_link.$album_start.$third_link.$album_menu[$l].$fourth_link;
		echo "$full_link";
	} else {
		echo "</div>";
	}
}

you were missing the $ in front of the album_start under the line you had *'d.

if (isset($album_menu[$l])

should be

if (isset($album_menu[$l]))

Sheesh, I think i've been looking at code too long if i missed something like that.

Don't see any difference....

There is another ) at the end of the line...two were opened...only one was closed.

Allright...couldn't see that; I didn't have my caffeine yet 😉
