[RESOLVED] parse error

pneudralics

I'm getting:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/me/public_html/forum/bb/includes/bbcode.php(61) : eval()'d code on line 1

Line 1 is: <?php ??? kind of lost here.

Line 61 is: $bbcode_tpls = array();

Lines 57-64 are:

$tpl = preg_replace('#<!-- BEGIN (.*?) -->(.*?)<!-- END (.*?) -->#', "\n" . '$bbcode_tpls[\'\\1\'] = \'\\2\';', $tpl);

$bbcode_tpls = array();

eval($tpl);

return $bbcode_tpls;

}

Any ideas? Kind of lost.

Hi,

eval assumes that the code is already within a PHP block so either remove the <?php at the beginning of the code or add ?> at the beginning of the block.

The second way can lead to problems. I saw eval bailing out with an error with certain php versions (not all) with code that contained ?><?php

I don't know why exactly.

Wait ... the error could be something else.

If the template string begins with a php section then remove <?php. If the template string begins with e.g. html code (not php code) then add ?> at the beginning of the tpl string.

hey!

with some colours is much easier to debug
use bbcode forums php-tag:

$tpl = preg_replace('#<!-- BEGIN (.*?) -->(.*?)<!-- END (.*?) -->#', "\n" . '$bbcode_tpls[\'\\1\'] = \'\\2\';', $tpl);

$bbcode_tpls = array();

eval($tpl);

return $bbcode_tpls;

Kind of lost...this is a file from phpbb. The attached is the file but I put all the codes in txt so I can upload it here. Any help will do thanks.

Please post the template that causes that error message.

I think the problem is the style include code in the template. phpBB seems to be using the BEGIN and END tags to build a line array of the template.

Try to add BEGIN and END tags around the the style include line, something like:

<!-- BEGIN style_open --><link rel="stylesheet" href="templates/subSilver/subSilver.css" type="text/css" /><!-- END style_open -->

Just a suggestion, I never had to do with phpBB.
