parse error with function()

[BrianM]

I get this error

 

Parse error: parse error, expecting `'{'' in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\mps\view\index.php on line 85

 

with this code

 

<?php
if ($_GET['report'] == 'create') {
function report_create()
} // line 85
if ($_GET['report'] == 'view') {
	function report_view()
	}
?>

 

What did I do wrong? :\

1) You missed a ; after line 84.

 

2)  Don't put function in front of it, it thinks you're making a new function, not calling one.

with darkwaters suggestion, it should look like this:

 

<?php
   if ($_GET['report'] == 'create') {
report_create(); // not function report_create()
   } // line 85

   if ($_GET['report'] == 'view') {
report_view(); // not function report_view()
   }
?>

 

[BrianM]

<?php
if ($_GET['report'] == 'create') {
report_create();
} // line 85
if ($_GET['report'] == 'view') {
	report_view();
	}
?>

 

Perhaps something along those lines?

what was the error this time?

 

as far as i see the code, nothing else is wrong with it. I think that the error is caused somewhere else outside these lines (since sometimes the parser points the error at a different line).

[DarkWater]

Yeah, does that even error you?

I get an error on line 84 - Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\mps\view\index.php on line 84

 

What does this mean, I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

 

<?php
function report_create() {
	echo("<form action=\"echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];\" method=\"post\">"); // line 84
	echo("<b><font size=\"2px\" face=\"Verdana\">Create report: </font></b><input type=\"text\" /> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Create\" /><br /><br />");
	echo("</form>");
	}
?>

DING DING!!

 

Try this:

<?php
function report_create() {
	echo("<form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\" method=\"post\">"); // line 84
	echo("<b><font size=\"2px\" face=\"Verdana\">Create report: </font></b><input type=\"text\" /> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Create\" /><br /><br />");
	echo("</form>");
	}
?>
