PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE

[Justus_ch]

Hi
I just started hosting a site including php and mysql things.
Now I always get the following error:

PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in E:\InetData\wwwroot\mfmap\index.php on line 65

On line 65 I have the following code:
echo "'$schloss['useronline_ip']' == '$ip_crypt'<br>'$schloss['useronline_schloss']' == '$mapCookie[2]'<br>'$mapCookie[2]' != ''<br>'$schloss['useronline_schloss']' != ''";

Can somebody helps my finding the problem in this code?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Justus

That's the most garbled single line (?) of code I've seen in a while. 🙂 It'll take a better garbled-code reader than me to figure it out, but meanwhile I can suggest you start by reading about strings and string operators.

echo "'{$schloss['useronline_ip']}' == '$ip_crypt'<br>'{$schloss['useronline_schloss']}' == '{$mapCookie[2]}'<br>'{$mapCookie[2]}' != ''<br>'{$schloss['useronline_schloss']}' != ''";

PS That line is a trainwreck of readability.

Thank you very much, this problem seems to be solved!
But I have an other error now:

PHP Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in E:\InetData\wwwroot\mfmap_util.php on line 31

The Line 31 in _util.php is:
flock( $lockFP, LOCK_EX, true ) or QWFatalError( "Cannot lock '$globalLockPath' -- dunno why" );

Please can you help me another time? :bemused:

Or perhabs we can solve the whole problem from its beginning. Because this whole system run properly on an other system with php4. Now I copyied the whole directory on an other server with php5 installed. I guess, thats why I get theses errors.... Does anybody have an idea, what I generally have to change to get it on?

Thanks a lot for your help. Cheers

What is the declaration for flock? if its flock( $something, & $something, $bool ) get rid of '&' and try it again.

Sorry, I don't have a clue about this things... Therefore I would be deeply grateful if somebody could help me here.
I can post you the whole file _util.

The bold line is number 31 who generates the error.

Thanks a lot.
cheers

Please read my signature and learn how to enter PHP code in the forums, it will be the first link in my signature, then highlight your posts (the code part) while editing your posts then represent your code by using the appropriate BB Code. It is difficult to read as you now have it. Below is how PHP should be presented in these forums for anyone to better be able to help you out.

<?php
$a = array('1', '2', '3');
$b = array('avocado', 'apple', 'banana');
$c = array_combine($a, $b);
echo $c[3];
?>

but this is how it looks as you posted it
<?php
$a = array('1', '2', '3');
$b = array('avocado', 'apple', 'banana');
$c = array_combine($a, $b);
echo $c[3];
?>

Notice the colors and less space used by the properly formatted post, plus any syntax errors or other errors will be detected using the highlighting of PHP...make it easy on us and your self and you might even see the problem just by posting using PHP BB Code

[bradgrafelman]

Also note that [man]flock/man expects a variable to be passed as it's 3rd parameter... this variable is "set to TRUE if the lock would block (EWOULDBLOCK errno condition)."

EDIT: Just to reiterate the suggestion to use the [PHP][/PHP] bbcode tags... it would help all of us if you edited your old posts and added these tags (as well as using them in the future, of course).

Thanks Brad the Post hurt my eyes!
