[RESOLVED] Help syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS

Simplyput

I get this message Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in /home/XXXXX/public_html/Moviechecker.php on line 120. I have tried escaping the " with \ in the place I think it should work but it still gives me the same error message. Can someone please look at it and see where I am going wrong. I will be greatly appreciated.

$image = "<img src="'.$image.'" alt="'.$row["mtitle"].'" title="'.$row['mtitle'].'" border="0" />"; // Line 113
         echo "<td class="'.$lintype.'" width="'.$colwidth.'%" align="center" valign="top">";
          echo"<a href=\"index.php?name=Movie&mid=urlencode('.$row['mid'].') target="_blank"\">"'.$row["mtitle"].'"<br />"'.$image.'"</a><br />";
        echo"</td>";

 }
for ( $i = $c; $i < $across; $i++ ) {
 echo '<td class="'.$lintype.'" width="'.$colwidth.'%" valign=\"top\">&nbsp;</td>'; // Line 120
}

echo"
  </table>
  </fieldset>
  ";
CloseTable();
  //}

You have a lot of quoting issues in there, often starting off a string literal with a double quote, then apparently trying to close it with a single quote (e.g. when doing concatenation). You might want to consider using [man]sprintf/man or "[man]heredoc[/man]" syntax (along with curly-brace "complex" variable notation) to clean things up and make it easier to figure out, e.g.:

echo <<<EOD
<a href="something/{$foo['bar']}" onclick="document.something('{$fubar['something']}');">{$the_text}</a>
EOD;
/* note that the above "EOD;" line must not have any preceding white-space */

Okay I took your suggestion and read the info from the links so I modified the code. This got rid of the T Class error message. However, now I get a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on line 115. I have back slashed my double quotes but still can not shake this error message after many renditions of the code.


$image = "<img src="'.$image.'" alt="'.$row["mtitle"].'" title="'.$row['mtitle'].'" border="0" /> [B]- Line 113[/B]
      echo sprintf(<td class="'.$lintype.'" width="'.$colwidth.'%" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">);
      echo <<<EOD<a href=\"index.php?name=Movie&mid={$row['mid']}target=\"_blank\"\">($row['mtitle'])<br />{$image}</a><br /></td>EOD; [B]- Line 115[/B]

 }
for ( $i = $c; $i < $across; $i++ ) {
 echo <<<EOD<td class=\"'.$lintype.'\" width=\"'.$colwidth.'\"% valign=\"top\">&nbsp;</td>EOD;
}
 }
