[SOLVED] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '['...

[tfburges]

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '[' in D:\\My Documents\\IRLCM_tech_form\\report_select.php on line 795

 

I'm assuming it's actually referring to line 794, since when I comment that line (and others similar to it) the error message goes away.

The last line of the following code is line 797, FYI.  All 795 says is "} else {"...

 

I don't understand why I'm getting this error message when $warranty_special_end_value_data_array is clearly defined as an array.

 

if ($data_warranty_info['field_type'] == 'special') {
   $warranty_special_name_value = $data_warranty_info['special_name_value'];
   $warranty_special_start_value_data_array = array();
   $warranty_special_end_value_data_array = array();
   $warranty_special_start_value_field_length_array = array();
   $w = 0;
   $query_warranty_special_start_value = "SELECT * FROM `special_fields` WHERE `special_name_value` = '$warranty_special_name_value'";
   $result_warranty_special_start_value = mysql_query($query_warranty_special_start_value, $link) or die ('MYSQL error: ' . mysql_error());
   while ($data_warranty_special_start_value = mysql_fetch_array($result_warranty_special_start_value)) {
    $warranty_special_extension = $data_warranty_special_start_value['extension'];
    $warranty_special_field_length = $data_warranty_special_start_value['field_length'];
    if ($data_warranty_special_start_value['unit_type'] == '') {
    } else {
     $warranty_separator = $data_warranty_special_start_value['unit_type'];
    }
$warranty_special_start_value = $warranty_start . $warranty_special_extension;
$query_warranty_special_start_value_data_array = "SELECT `$warranty_special_start_value` FROM `$selected_form_name_value` WHERE `$warranty_field_desc_value` = '$warranty_when_data' AND `id` = '$one_id'";
$result_warranty_special_start_value_data_array = mysql_query($query_warranty_special_start_value_data_array, $link) or die ('MYSQL error: ' . mysql_error());
$data_warranty_special_start_value_data_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_warranty_special_start_value_data_array);
$warranty_special_start_value_data_array[$w] = $data_warranty_special_start_value_data_array[$warranty_special_start_value];
    $warranty_special_start_value_field_length_array[$w] = $warranty_special_field_length;
    if ($warranty_length_units == 'months' AND $w == '0') {
     $warranty_special_end_value_data_array[$w] = warranty_special_start_value_data_array[$w]+$warranty_length;
    } else {
 $warranty_special_end_value_data_array[$w] = warranty_special_start_value_data_array[$w];
}

Shoot never mind... hahahaha

 

 

I'm an idiot...

warranty_special_start_value_data_array[$w];  -->    $warranty_special_start_value_data_array[$w];

Wowwww I don't even know what I was thinking.  It's not going to work for all cases anyway!

 

Just in case someone else reads this and decides to use it...

 

Use strtotime and mktime instead of the code I posted.  Look 'em up for usage.

Can I just say that your variable names are a bit, OTT lol

[tfburges]

LAWL.  Can't win around here can I?

 

I used to abbreviate my variables until someone told me I should be more descriptive.

 

Now, I'm more descriptive and I'm told it's over the top.
