basic sytax help

[robwri32]

first let me thank everyone here at phpbuilder for this great support forum, and anyone who may read this, and possible answer it. OK, i have a implemented many php applications, currently i'm trying to extend the functionality, of my coppermine photo album. OK the documentaion give me examples of the code that i need to implement which looks like this

cpm_viewTopRatedMediaFrom ($source, $rows, $columns, [array $options=""])

here's a snip of a working code for returning random images

include "./cpgfetch/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
$objCpm = new cpm('/cpg133');
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia (1,11);
$objCpm->cpm_close();

So taking code that works i'm trying to implement the toprated images here is what i've come upwith, however i keep running into a parse error which looks like this
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '(' in /hsphere/local/home/rlwright/robwri.wrightinnovations.net/test3.php on line 16

here is what the code i've tried to write looks like (which returns the error )

include "./cpgfetch/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
$objCpm = new cpm('/cpg133');
$objCpm->cpm_viewTopRatedMediaFrom(""(1,3)"");
$objCpm->cpm_close();

what i'm thinking is that i've got a syntax error, like a missplaced () or something small, the "source" aspect i don't need a value because i don't want it to return value from a specfic album, but all of the albums,

Thanks again for possibly answering my question

It's this part:

(""(1,3)"")

Only one set of quotes is needed, like so:

("(1,3)")

Unless you're trying to pass the double quotes too. In that case backslash the quotes like so:

("\"(1,3)\"")

or you can use single quotes as the outside set (I put a space on either side so you can see it better):

(' "(1,3)" ')

Check what the function requires. If it's expecting two numeric arguments, then use this:

(1, 3)

hth.

wow thats for such a quick response, i removed the double qoutes, and it seemed to resolve that issue, but reveled another,

Warning: Missing argument 2 for cpm_viewtopratedmediafrom() in /hsphere/local/home/rlwright/robwri.wrightinnovations.net/cpgfetch/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php on line 830

Warning: Missing argument 3 for cpm_viewtopratedmediafrom() in /hsphere/local/home/rlwright/robwri.wrightinnovations.net/cpgfetch/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php on line 830

so, i'll dig deeper into the cpmfetch.php and see if i can find the issue, but thanks for the help, if anyone is knows anything about this let me know

THANKS

It means that you're not passing a second and third argument to cpm_viewtopratedmediafrom().

So, passing one argument like this:

$objCpm->cpm_viewTopRatedMediaFrom(1);

is not enough, and passing two arguments:

$objCpm->cpm_viewTopRatedMediaFrom(1, 2);

is not enough. This function requires at least three (maybe more):

$objCpm->cpm_viewTopRatedMediaFrom(1, 2, 3);
