Error: 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a5488351/public_html/index.php on line 131

 

Code:

$per_page = 8;

//get start variable
$start = $_GET['start'];

//count records
$record_count = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts"));

//count max pages
$max_pages = $record_count / $per_page; //may come out as decimal

if (!$start)
   $start = 0;
   
//display data
$get = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $start, $per_page");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get))
{
// get data
$id = $row['id'];

the error message says line 131 in the file index.php .. what you have provided doesn't have 131 lines, so how about providing relevant code, ie. line 131 from index.php for starters.

 

you're going to want to change these lines:

 

$replacements[2] = '<img src='smileys/happy.gif'></img>';
$replacements[1] = '<img src='smileys/p.gif'></img>';

to...

$replacements[2] = '<img src="smileys/happy.gif" /></img>';
$replacements[1] = '<img src="smileys/p.gif" /></img>';

note the change in single-quotes to double-quotes.

 

no idea if that's line 131, but it's a start.

$patterns[0] = '/:)/';

$patterns[1] = '/:p/';

$patterns[2] = '/fox/';

$replacements[2] = '<img src="smileys/happy.gif" /></img>';

$replacements[1] = '<img src="smileys/p.gif" /></img>';

$replacements[0] = 'slow';

echo preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $message);

 

The line in bold is the line it points out.

Because $patterns[0] is not a valid regular expression. The closing bracket (or parentheses if you prefer) used in the smilie, has a special meaning in regex so you need to escape it.

 

$patterns[0] = '/:\)/';
