louthmedia

Hi I am very new to php and have been trying to build a CMS hich until know has been going OK this section of code it giving me a syntax error, unexpected T_STRING. this problem is coming at the line with Fetch implementations from cache. I as hoping that someone maybe able to point me in the right direction with it as i keep drewing a blank

if ($reset) {
    $implementations = array();
    cache_set('module_implements', array(), 'cache_bootstrap');
    mackay_static_reset('module_hook_info');
    mackay_static_reset('mackay_alter');
    cache_clear_all('hook_info', 'cache_bootstrap');
    return;
  }

   Fetch implementations from cache.
  if (empty($implementations)) {
   $implementations = cache_get('module_implements', 'cache_bootstrap');
    if ($implementations === FALSE) {
      $implementations = array();
    }
    else {
      $implementations = $implementations->data;
    }

I thank you all for your time

the text "Fetch implementations from cache." is not valid PHP syntax and is causing an error. Looks like this was intended as a comment so you need to mark it with a suitable comment indicator.

If you were using a decent code editor, you probably would have gotten some kind of indicator to let you know which line of your code has the error. The error message you received ("unexpected T_STRING") should also have a line number.

sneakyimp thank you for your time you where so wright and about it being a comment i feel such a plonker. you mention about a decent editor what would you recommend as I have dreamweaver notepad + but the one i use the most is phpDesigner for any of the php i'm doing I am on a windows machine using WAMP as my test server.

once again thank you for your time

I used PHPDesigner for awhile and quite liked it, but at least at that time it did not (easily) support multi-line searches, so I looked around, and eventually ended up using Komodo Edit for the last 3 years or so. But some of the guys I work with swear by Sublime, but those are just a few of the many good choices out there.

+1 for Komodo Edit

A coworker loves Sublime Text 2. I have also heard a lot of fanfare for PhpStorm, though PhpStorm is paid software and not free.

PS: I'm thinking of looking at PHP Storm, as it supposedly has XDebug built in. It's not free, but not too terribly pricey (especially if I get work to buy it 😉 ).

I've considered paying for Komodo IDE, but I am really put off by the subscription model. At least the PhpStorm model includes a 1-year subscription.

Or maybe I am just spoiled.
