[SOLVED] Fatal error: Function name must be a string

[heldenbrau]

function headingsafe($hin) {
  $S1= array('£',"'",'?','>','<','"',':',';');
  $S2= array('£','&#39;','&#63;','>','<','&#34;','&#58;','&#59;');
  return str_replace($S1, $S2, $hin);

 

This is the first time I have tried to use a function and of course there is an error.  Is there something wrong with my function?

This is not the code in which this error occurs. You are passing somewhere a function name where it expects the name of the function as a string, you prolly called it directly without the parenthesis.

There is no terminating '}', unless you didn't copy it.

And posting the line of code that the error message indicates the error is at would help.

The } was on the next line, I missed it out of the C&P

 

The line number is 17 where the function is called.  But I didn't realise that until I looked again.

 

I called it like this:

 

$headline = headingsafe($_POST('headline'));

$headline = headingsafe($_POST['headline']);

:o :'(

 

Not again, every time it is something like this.  At least I am learning because every time I don't spot the missing bracket or semicolon I end up reading 10 pages of my php book trying to find what I have done wrong.

 

Thanks for the help.

Learning from mistakes is a major part of programming.  I bet you won't make the same mistake again, or if you do, you will be able to recognize it right away.
