Errors in my PHPBB; Syntax Question

sois

First of all, what is this weird syntax?
. POST_POST_URL . ...etc

That's all for now. 🙂

I believe that POST_POST_URL is a constant, whose value is being concatenated into the string, but it would be helpful to see more of the code....

For info on constants, check here: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.constants.php

Ahh... that makes sense. Secondly, I want to know if there is a common place in PHP BB for all of these constants to be defined. If anyone knows.

I am not familiar with it, but I would check to see if there is an admin directory or a file that is included often called something like: "config.php" but this is just a shot in the dark...

Another problem... what is this syntax?

{S_LOGIN_ACTION}

I believe it is called Complex (curly) syntax. See here, about 1/3 of the way down the page: http://us3.php.net/types.string

This isn't called complex because the syntax is complex, but because you can include complex expressions this way.

In fact, you can include any value that is in the namespace in strings with this syntax. You simply write the expression the same way as you would outside the string, and then include it in { and }. Since you can't escape '{', this syntax will only be recognised when the $ is immediately following the {. (Use "{\$" or "{$" to get a literal "{$"). Some examples to make it clear:

but is hard to say without seeing more of the code...
