[SOLVED] $end error? custom error report function

[MasterACE14]

I have a custom function to simply 'kill' the executing script if there is a error and report a error message but I am receiving this error just by creating the function, not even calling it.

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/ace/public_html/conflictingforces/functions.php on line 211

 

the function:

<?php
function cf_error($message) { // display a error

  $error_message = <<<_MESSAGE
      <center class="box-bad">
      {$message}
      </center>
            _MESSAGE;

        die($error_message);
} // line 211

 

any ideas?

you need to change

            _MESSAGE;

to

_MESSAGE;

so it is the first part of the line at the moment the string is not ending.

you should try using an editor like phpDesigner that will show errors like this

also why don't you just use " instead of <<< it works just the same.

yep thats working now.

 

Thanks

works the same, but makes everything much simpler to work with instead of having to escape quotes and special characters all the time when including variables and arrays.
