Parse errors on vBulletin

AcE_XBOX

Hello. Im posting this for a friend. He is currently out of the country and im running his forum. Well two days after he left, we run into a couple, of what seems to be, small problems.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in forum/newreply.php on line 58

 'im_msn',

Thats whats on line 58... I really dont see whats wrong with it.

The other error says

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /forum/login.php on line 68

 $show['member'] = false;

Any ideas how I can fix these problems?

You need to show us a few lines before the error line along with that line, as often the parser is telling you at which line it realized there was a problem, not the line where the root cause of the problem is (since it's not smart enough to know that).

Oh, I'm sorry about that. Here is some of the code for line 58 error

I think you have your code snippets backwards-
Anyway--you have this line:
'im_icq',ed
above line 58--I would wager that the ed is an issue.

as for the second one:
}we
$show['member'] = false;

I am not familiar with the we syntax...🙂 I think that is probably your issue.

This line in the first code sample looks like it will be a problem, too:

}34f

The "34f" appears to have no purpose there.
