[RESOLVED] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'description' (T_STRING)

duccccky

I'm having an extremely difficult time trying to figure this out. I want to add a section of NON-PHP into a PHP file where if the page is ending in /index.php (like the entire website would be https://motorhead69.us/index.php instead of just https://motorhead69.us). The code follows belows:

{ if ($PAGE == '/index.php')
?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Motorhead69 Index</title>
<meta name="description" content="Motorhead69 index offers general work including engine repair and rebuild of ATVs and car repair">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Motorhead69 Index Page Larry, Millie, Moore, Jr, Larry Moore, Larry Moore Jr, Jim McRae, 4292 1st St, Hibbing, MN 55746, home 218 440-1042</h1>
</body>
<php
}

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'http' (T_STRING) on line 54 which is the line that starts <html xmlns etc.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'description' (T_STRING) on line 57 which is the line that starts <meta name etc.

If anyone can help figure this out in php or non-php, I'd appreciate it. It seemed so simple.

Thanks

Well I got the Parse errors figured out, but now I have another issue. I want it to do that title, meta information, and h1 only on http://motorhead69.us/index.php. When I look at my website, it all works on both http://motorhead69.us and http://motorhead69.us/index.php. Also, on the website pages, it shows at the very top the following if this would help anyone:

if ( == '/index.php'){ ?>

The corrected code that I have now is:

if ($PAGE == '/index.php')
{ ?>
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
<head>
<title>Motorhead69 Index</title>
<meta name='description' content='Motorhead69 index offers general work including engine repair and rebuild of ATVs and car repair'>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Motorhead69 Index Page Larry, Millie, Moore, Jr, Larry Moore, Larry Moore Jr, Jim McRae, 4292 1st St, Hibbing, MN 55746, home 218 440-1042</h1>
</body>
<php
}

I hope someone can help with this issue.

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "/index.php")
{

Not sure what value your $PAGE has; technically you're still looking at "index.php" no matter which URL you use in your examples. But if you look at the REQUEST_URI var, it will change depending on whether they request "/" or "/index.php", barring any interference from the server (think: mod_rewrite)....

Now I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING) in /home/motorhea/public_html/e107_themes/jayya1/theme.php on line 52

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php') <----This is line 52.

{ ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Motorhead69 Index</title>
<meta name='description' content='Motorhead69 index offers general work including engine repair and rebuild of ATVs and car repair'>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Motorhead69 Index Page Larry, Millie, Moore, Jr, Larry Moore, Larry Moore Jr, Jim McRae, 4292 1st St, Hibbing, MN 55746, home 218 440-1042</h1>
</body>
<?php
}

I've never used $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] so I'm not sure that I've even got it done correctly. I tried googling it but it wasn't much help to me. I need help formatting it correctly.

There looks to be nothing wrong with line 52. Likely the error is before line 52, and not apparent to the parser until it gets to 52.

OK Here's line before line 52:

$HEADER = "<table class='top_section'>

Where's the closing double-quote and the terminating semi-colon?

way down below. I'll post the entire block so everyone can see.

$HEADER = "<table class='top_section'>
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php')
{ ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Motorhead69 Index</title>
<meta name='description' content='Motorhead69 index offers general work including engine repair and rebuild of ATVs and car repair'>

OK I just figured out my mistake and a couple of other errors. Here's my completed working part:
$HEADER = "<table class='top_section'>

<tr>

<td>

<table>
<tr>
<td class='top_section_mid'>
<center>
{BANNER}
</center>
</td>

</tr>
</table>

<tr>
<td class='left_menu'>
<table class='menus_container'><tr><td>
{SETSTYLE=leftmenu}
{MENU=1}
</td></tr></table>
</td>
<td class='default_menu'>
{SETSTYLE=default}
{WMESSAGE}
";
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php') <---- moved this part from directly under the HEADER line to under the end quote line and now it works!
{ ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Motorhead69 Index</title>
<meta name='description' content='Motorhead69 index offers general work including engine repair and rebuild of ATVs and car repair'>
</head>

Very good. Now, we'd probably appreciate it if you could wrap code in [noparse]

[/noparse] tags from now on.

And you may wish to redact the personal info (names, address, and phone number) from the excerpt above as this forum is worldwide and VERY public ... #hello_Im_in_abuja_and_have_6M_USD_please_help_me_get_it_to_the_USA
