[SOLVED] whats wrong with my two functions

[worldcomingtoanend]

i am desigining a search engine which uses PHP and XML.  i have come up with a long code and after a long day of testing i am beginning to realise that the problem might be with my two functions below.  however i cant seem to figure out what exactly is wrong.  if you can pick up some errors on my 2 functions below i will appreciate hearing from you.  thank you and if u need more info please let me know.

 

FUNCTION 1

function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs)

{

   global $to;

   global $from;

   global $show;

   global $results;



   if (empty($_GET['start'])) {

       $start=1;

   } else {

       $start=$_GET['start'];

   }

   global $maxNum;

   global $tag;

   $tag = $name;

   if ($name == "RECORD") {

      global $hit;

      $hit = array("index" => "$attrs");

   }

   if ($name == "SEARCHRESULTS") {

       global $hits;

       $hits = $attrs["HITS"];

       echo '<tr><td colspan="5" height="10px"> </td></tr>';

       echo '<tr><td></td><td colspan="3">';

       if ($hits != 0) {

            if (($start+$maxNum-1) > $hits) {

                $end=$hits;

            } else {

                $end=$start+$maxNum-1;

            }

           print("<p>$show $start $to $end $from $hits $results.</p>");

      } else {

            global $nothing_found;

            echo $nothing_found;

      }

      echo '</td><td></td></tr>';

      echo '<tr><td colspan="5" height="10px"> </td></tr>';

      echo '<tr><td></td><td height="1" class="line" colspan="3"></td><td></td></tr>';

       echo '<tr><td colspan="5"> </td></tr>';





   }

}

FUNCTION 2

function endElement($parser, $name)

{

   global $imageArray;

   global $hit;

   if ($name == "RECORD") {

     $score = number_format(($hit["SCORE"] * 100), 1, '.', " ");

     print '<tr>

                <td> </td>

                <td align="left" valign="top">'

                .'['.$score.'%] </td>'

                . '<td>'

              //------  . '<a href="' . $hit["VISIBLEPATH"] . '">';

      if (empty($hit["TITLE"])) {

          $path=$hit["VISIBLEPATH"];

          ereg ("/(.*)/(.*)", $path, $regs);
          print $regs[2];
      } else {

          print $hit["TITLE"];

      }

      print '</a>  (' . $hit["LASTCHANGED"] . ')</td>';

      $contentType=strtoupper($hit["CONTENTTYPE"]);

      if (isset($imageArray[$contentType])) {

           //-----$content = '<img src="'.$imageArray[$contentType].'" alt="'.$contentType.'" />';

      } else {

          $content = " ";

      }

      print '<td>'. $content.'</td><td></td></tr>'

                . '<tr>

                    <td></td>

                    <td colspan="3">'

                    .$hit["SUMMARY"]

           . '</td><td></td></tr>';

      print '<td></td><td colspan="3">'.substr($hit["VISIBLEPATH"], 0, 100) .'</td><td></td></tr>'

           . '<tr><td colspan="5"> </td></tr>'

           . '<tr><td></td><td height="1" class="line" colspan="3"></td><td></td></tr>'

           . '<tr><td colspan="5"> </td></tr>';



   }

}

show us the errors you receive

show us the errors you receive

 

my server does show errors but on this one it just goes blank and no error is displayed.  usually when that happens its a sign that the error is somehow very fatal. The moment i remove those 2 functions everything seems to run very well but i cant do a search engine without those 2 fucntions.  Unless if you want me to display my complete very long code

What are the error_reporting settings on your server?

well for now i cant check the server settings because of my location.  but is there anything wrong with my functions

[worldcomingtoanend]

Okay i have double checked my errors and i am getting the dreaded parse error like this:

 

"parse error in X:\Programme\sasasas0\www\asaas.php on line 432"

Hi

 

Not sure if it is just something caused when pasting here, but the 2nd script is missing a ; (at the end of the first print statement).

 

However I would expect that to flag up an obvious error.

 

All the best
