What's wrong with this function?

[Padgoi]

I keep getting an error about unexpected t_function, expecting ).

 

	function fetch_latest_replies($read_perms)
{
	$latest_replies = '';

	$this->ipsclass->DB->simple_construct(
		array(
			'select'	=> 't.title, t.tid, t.forum_id, t.last_post, t.last_poster_name, t.last_poster_id, t.views, t.posts as replies, m.mgroup',
			'from'		=> 'topics t left join ' . SQL_PREFIX . 'members m on (m.id = t.last_poster_id)',
			'where'		=> 't.forum_id in (' . $read_perms . ')',
			'order'		=> 't.last_post desc',
			'limit'		=> array(0, $this->ipsclass->vars['_inferno_topxstats_show'])
		)
	);
	$this->ipsclass->DB->simple_exec();

	while ($thread = $this->ipsclass->DB->fetch_row())
	{
		$thread['replies']		= $this->ipsclass->do_number_format($thread['replies']);
		$thread['last_post']		= $this->ipsclass->get_date ($thread['last_post'], 'SHORT' );
		$thread['forum']		= $this->ipsclass->txt_truncate($thread['forum_id']);			
		$thread['views']		= $this->ipsclass->do_number_format($thread['views']);
		$thread['title']		= $this->ipsclass->txt_truncate($thread['title'], $this->ipsclass->vars['_inferno_topxstats_titles']);

		$latest_replies .= $this->ipsclass->compiled_templates[$this->skingroup]->inferno_topxstats_latestreply($thread);
	}
	setTimeout( function() { Effect.SlideDown( $latest_replies, { duration: 0.3 } ); });
	return $latest_replies;
}

I'm pretty sure the error is with this line:

 

setTimeout( function() { Effect.SlideDown( $latest_replies, { duration: 0.3 } ); });

You're trying to call Javascript from within PHP. This is not possible. You'll have output the javascript code, eg

echo 'setTimeout( function() { Effect.SlideDown( '.$latest_replies.', { duration: 0.3 } ); });';

Ok, but that didn't work.  I'm trying to add the SlideDown effect to this list of topics I have that updates via Ajax and not sure how.  The tutorial shows how to add it via a href, but this is updating via ajax, so I don't know where to put the javascript function to call the slidedown effect, which is the line in the above post.

I'm don't have much experience with AJAX, but that code will have to be triggered from an Ajax response, eg when readyState is 4, not within your PHP code. We have an AJAX Help forum here.
