PHP page blank, HTTP 500 Internal Server error

[wildteen88]

Try changing the

<? } ?>

at the end to

<?php }
end;
?>

*edit

I can't quite remember, it might be $end; instead...

No!

 

Its not because mcerveni left of the 'end' keyword - there is no such thing in PHP.

 

It is because mcerveni's code uses short tags. mcerveni open your php.ini and enabled a setting called short_open_tag. By default PHP does not recognise tags such as <? ?> or <?= ?>.

 

Undo what lupld told your to do.

What! Just because your disabled display_errors and now no errors are being display means everything is working. Did you read my post?

I was thinking of die; , and I didn't realize that there was a setting for using <? } ?> in the php.ini, The only time I used them was a code with my site hosted by ace-host. I mostly use apache at home for a file server and don't really need short tags.

 

*edit

also, wildteen, you can come off as a jerk. I said I wasn't sure what the code was I was looking for and that he could try end; in the meantime. I assumed it was end; cause he had an "unexpected $end" at the end of the file and the } was present.

[lupld]

oh, and wildteen, I had him change it from <? } ?> (all one line) to

 

<?
}
end; //which appears to not cause any problems
?>

 

and wouldn't that change it from a to a short tag to a regular script?

[wildteen88]

Its the tags that is causing the problem not the code within the tags. There is no end keyword! So I don't know why you keep suggesting it. The following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\Apache\htdocs\watchclockshop\include\menu.inc.php on line 38

 

Is caused by mismatching braces { } or ( ) within the code. Because mcerveni has short_open_tag disabled in the php.ini PHP is unable to see the closing brace in the following code:

<?
}
?>

Earlier you told mcerveni to change

<? } ?>

to

<?php
}
end;
?>

Which did fix the problem mcerveni was having. However it wasn't because you added end; after the closing brace. It's because you used the full PHP tags (<?php ?>).

[mcerveni]

so did php5.2.5 change..the codes' a little tighter now then on php5.1

[wildteen88]

No. Since PHP5.0.x was released.

 

You must of modified the php.ini on your previous version in order for short tags to work.

was me agreeing with you and you had to act like an ass again. I was thinking of die; which stops the script from running from that point regardless if it's the end of the document or not. Just cause I haven't used php in a while doesn't mean I don't know what's wrong, I said I was uncertain about the end; thing.

In what way was I "acting like an ass"?

 

end; or die; has nothing to do with the error mcerveni was receiving. The error was caused due to the short_open_tag setting being disabled. Not all PHP installations are configured to read code within short tags (<? ?> or <?= ?>).
