Parse Error is driving me nuts!!!

[iPixel]

On page tap.php i call a function...

 

<?php
include('tap_functions.php');

DivisionTotals($who, $branchid, $search_callcat, $search_sDate, $search_eDate, $search_ext);
?>

 

Then in tap_functions.php

 

<?php

DivisionTotals($DT_who, $DT_branchid, $DT_callcat, $DT_sDate, $DT_eDate, $DT_ext)   // Line 4
{
     echo "HELLO";
}

?>

And i get error :

Parse error: parse error in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Newton\tap_functions.php on line 4

whic is the first line in tap_function.php

 

 

What's going on here?

What's on lines 1,2 and 3 of tap_functions.php?

Absolutely nothing.. just space away from the <?php for neatness and readability.

[PFMaBiSmAd]

Function definitions need the function keyword at the start of them.

HAHAHA im an idiot! TY!!!

I wouldn't put any spaces before the <?php    that could cause problems further on down the road in case you ever need to send headers. That would stop you in your tracks. You can add whitespace after <?php all you want. Just not before.

Taquitosensei... thanks!

 

My files start like so...

 

<?php

 

Stuff goes here

 

?>

 

I like to put line breaks between things to keep it slightly spread apart for easy reading.

 

 

PS: how do i mark solved topic on this new Forum version?
