parse error (unexpected variable) ?

hatrickpatrick

I've been trying to install a forum coded by someone else, and I found an "Unexpected T_VARIABLE" error. I have narrowed the possible causes of the error down to this section, as the error disappears if this section is ignored.

		/* Attachments */

/* if (isset($FILES['upload']['name']) $FILES['upload']['size'] > 0 &&

$DATA['user']['user_level'] >= $CONF['abilities']['attachment']) {
if ($_FILES['upload']['size'] >

$_CONF['general']['attach_limit'])
$page->error('other', 'The attachment exceeded

the upload limit!');
$update_cmds = array(
'message_aname' => $FILES['upload']['name'],
'message_amime' => $FILES['upload']['type'],
'message_asize' => $_FILES['upload']['size']
);

			if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'],

'attachments/'.$msgid))
$page->error('other', 'An unknown error occured

while uploading the attachment.');

			$SQL->update('messages', $update_cmds, '`message_id` =

'.$msgid);
} */

I am totally unfamiliar with this type of coding, can anyone tell me what's wrong there? That first isset() function looks like one of the messiest I've ever seen...

The code you've given us here is all commented out (wrapped in / and / comment delimiters). However, if I assume that they are not actually commented out in the live code, then the first if statement looks bad:

if (isset($_FILES['upload']['name']) $_FILES['upload']['size'] > 0 &&
$_DATA['user']['user_level'] >= $_CONF['abilities']['attachment']) {

I would suspect that it should be:

if (isset($_FILES['upload']['name']) [color=red][b]&&[/b][/color] $_FILES['upload']['size'] > 0 &&
$_DATA['user']['user_level'] >= $_CONF['abilities']['attachment']) {
