Parse error: unexpected T_ECHO

AHMADMAKARY

Hello!

Please i need monster help concerning this error.

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/content/09/9480109/html/wp-content/themes/Avenue/functions.php on line 143"

And this is the code, i can't seem to find the mistake, it was working fine before i changed the (=listings&location) to (=listing&size) but then i changed it back and i am getting the message above

break;

	case 'location':
		$post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
		$terms = get_the_terms($post_id, 'location');
		if ( !empty($terms) ) {
			foreach ( $terms as $term )
        $post_terms[] = "<a href='edit.php?post_type=listings&location={$term->slug}'> " . esc_html(sanitize_term_field('name', $term->name, $term->term_id, $taxonomy, 'edit')) . "</a>";
			echo join( ', ', $post_terms );
		}
		else echo '<i>No terms.</i>'; 
	break;

There are no parse errors in the code snippet you posted (if you ignore the two breaks and the case: statement, that is).

Which one of those lines is line 143? Are you sure you're looking at the correct file?

$post_terms[] = "<a href='edit.php?post_type=listings&location={$term->slug}'> " .

This is Line 143, i have no idea what i did to piss it off the way it did.

And this error is preventing me from doing anything. i can't go back to dashboard (wordpress) i can't choose another php file i can't even login to wordpress anymore without going to the error page

I find that hard to believe, since there is no echo statement in that code.

Are you viewing the raw contents of this file directly on the remote server (e.g. via an SSH terminal or something of the like)? If not, how are you viewing it? If you've got a local copy, did you make sure that you first retrieved the remote one again (in case your local copy is stale/out-of-date)?

I'm working through Wordpress. Do you have any idea how to restart the Wordpress account and maybe go back to point zero. Or any other suggestions on how to handle this problem

Delete the files, drop the SQL database(s), re-upload the files, re-create the database(s).

Yeah, stop using one (giant) PHP application to try to manage another. 🙂 Download the actual 'functions.php' file itself and see what's really on line 143.
