dylanburford Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I am writing a simple news script for my site that writes a news HTML paragraph to a .txt file. But when i compile it (open it in a web browser) this is what i get:Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in C:\xampp\htdocs\Qwakhouse\Layout\admin\makenews.php on line 69The Script:[code]<?php/* For Username and Password */$username = $_POST['username'];$password = $_POST['passord'];/* for posts */$title = $_POST['title'];$post = $_POST['post'];$mainpost = $_POST['mainpost'];/* Other */$num = '1';if(empty( $username ) || empty($post)) {echo 'Username & Password are empty';} else if(empty( $username )) {echo 'Username is empty';} else if(empty( $password )) {echo 'Password is empty';} else if( $username =='Josh' || $password =='tiki' ) {domakenews();} else if( $username =='Allen' || $password =='jedi' ) {domakenews();} else if( $username =='Dylan' || $password =='6483a66' ) {domakenews();} else {echo 'Username or Password is empty';}if( $username =='Josh' ) {$email =='blood_hoobit@hotmail.com';} else if( $username =='Allen' ) {$email =='coheed_and_cambria_awmjr@hotmail.com';} else if( $username =='Dylan' ) {$email =='dead_dylan665@hotmail.com';}if(empty( $post) || empty($mainpost) || empty($title) ) {echo 'All Fields Are Empty';} else if(empty( $post )) {echo 'Intro News is Empty';} else if(empty( $title )) {echo 'Title is Empty';}function domakenews() {if(empty( $mainpost )) {dointronews();} else {dofullnews();}}function dointronews() {$file = fopen('news.txt', 'a');fwrite($file, "<p><h3>$title</h3></p><h5>Posted By: $username</h5><p>$post</p><hr />" );}function dofullnews() {$file = fopen('news.txt', 'a');fwrite($file, "$num = $num+1<p><h3>$title</h3></p><h5>Posted By: $username</h5><p>$post | Read More...</p><?phpif( $pid =='102564456985214563256325632$num' ) {?><p><h3>$title</h3></p><h5>Posted By: $username</h5><p>$post $mainpost</p><hr />");}?>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dptr1988 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 It looks like you forgot to add the '<?php' tag at the begining of your script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akitchin Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 your script/logic is a little quirky - are you trying to actually WRITE that PHP markup into the text file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackerkts Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 [code]if( $pid =='102564456985214563256325632$num' ) {[/code]Hmm.. You didn't close right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman6003 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Either change your fwrite lines to be a single line rather than multiple:[code]fwrite($file, "<p><h3>$title</h3></p><h5>Posted By: $username</h5><p>$post</p><hr />" );[/code]Should be:[code]fwrite($file, "<p><h3>$title</h3></p><h5>Posted By: $username</h5><p>$post</p><hr />" );[/code]or assign the multiple lines to a variable then write that to your file.You should be using fclose to close your files after you write to them.In the second fwrite, the one that's a part of your dofullnews function, if you are intending to write the php code there and not the variables...i.e. have the text of your file be:[quote]$num = $num+1<p><h3>$title</h3></p><h5>Posted By: $username</h5><p>$post | Read More...</p><?phpif( $pid =='102564456985214563256325632$num' ) {?><p><h3>$title</h3></p><h5>Posted By: $username</h5><p>$post $mainpost</p><hr />[/quote]Rather than substituting the values of variables for the variable names, then you need to use a single quote rather than double.

dylanburford Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 so do it like [code]fwrite($file, '<html><head><title>Test</title></head></html>');fclose();[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
