Parse error..

LilPres

Hello,

I am having trouble getting to an admin panel on my site. I go to the panel and i get an error page saying "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/tyrantso/public_html/admin.php on line 306" im not sure what a parse error is. Also, is there any "easy" way to find line 306? I can copy and paste the entire admin.php if it is necessary. If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,
LilPres

A parse error means that you have not used proper syntax...meaning you typed something that is not meaningful PHP. If you could locate line 306 and paste that and a few lines above and below it, that might help.

Ultimately, if you don't know what valid PHP syntax is, you are probably going to fail badly at PHP. It's probably the most basic aspect of PHP coding.

ok i will locate 306..is there an easy way to find it or do i have to count?

Use a code editor that has an option for showing line numbers, such as Notepad++, Komodo Edit, NetBeans, etc. (Those and others also have options for automatically checking your PHP code for parse errors.

Ok thanks, that will be of great use to me.

Like I said, if you don't know what valid PHP syntax is, you are probably going to fail badly at PHP. Generally speaking you should be able to fix your own syntax errors. If you just can't figure one out, then maybe post. Otherwise, it is unlikely that you'll get a lot of people enthusiastically responding to your posts asking for help with syntax errors.

within your syntax you have a " ) " that shouldn't be there or is in the wrong place.
