Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

vigar_neil

Hi,

I am trying to create a photo galery for my site.

However I am getting the following error and I really can't work out why. Can anyone see what I am missing?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/users/uks53122/html/sportsmatesreunited.co.uk/gallery/class.photogallery.php on line 25

This is the section of code that seems to be creating the code. The line in red is line 25.

$this->variable
// Display all categories to choose from
$path = $this->_rt;
$d = @dir($path);
if(!$d){
// If we can't open the directory, let's tell the user
// something is wrong.
$this->throw_error('Fatal Error', 'The directory
[ <i><span style="color: #999;">'.$path.'</span></i> ]
could not be opened. Please check the path and try again.',
$php_errormsg, $this->dbg);
}
else{
while(FALSE !== ($f = $d->read())){
// While we are reading documents from within the directory
if($f != '.' && $f != '..'){
// If the currently read file is not "this directory" or "Up One Level"
if(is_dir($path.$f)){
// Since we're dealing with categories, we only want directories
// since the directory name will be categories
$this->lst[] = $f;
}
}
}
$this->gen_crumbs();
$this->gen_page();
}

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks
Neil

i would guess that you can't use _rt with the underscore as the first character, try using whatever_rt instead

just a thought after a quick glance

The row before is not valid:

$this->variable

When you get errors always look at the row it says and, if you can't find anything wrong there, look at the rows above.

yeah, check what piranha said... i skipped over that line when i saw the _ in the next line, so much for quick glances 🙂

"_" is a valid first character for variables and functions.

Hi guys thaks for your comments.

I've tried taking the _ out and I still get the same answer.

What is wrong with the above line? does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

What is wrong? It doesn't do anything?

Let's look at a similar error in pseudo-code:

load variables
check if variables match criteria
show response
[COLOR=Red]cheese[/COLOR]
display welcome message

Every other line does something, but the cheese line... well, doesn't.

Also, the _ is a valid character, and probably should remain there 😉

i knew it was a valid first character... i just wasn't sure if it was fully available when using OO declarations as I have never done it and couldn't rightly test it
