MidOhioIT Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Can anyone view my code and tell me why im getting the error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/thesmi6/public_html/registration2.php on line 266 266 starts at the code: <?php include("inc/dbconnect.php"); $cat_sql = "SELECT * FROM categories order by display_order"; while ($cat_row = mysql_fetch_array($cat_sql)) { echo "267"; //$navigation_name = "$cat_row['navigation_name']"; $navigation_name2 = '$cat_row["navigation_name"]'; $type = '$cat_row["type"]'; if($type == "sub") {$navigation_name2 = " $navigation_name"; } echo "<option value='".$navigation_name."'>".$navigation_name2."</option>" ; } ?> I tried to do these lines many ways but not sure if this can even be done at all... I think it may have something to do with how its in a function but not positive of that either. $html_form = <<< END_HTML <form method="POST" action="registration2.php" name="reg_form"> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="submit"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="10"> </td> <td width="630" valign="top"><table width="642" height="596" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="images/registrationbox1.png" STYLE=" background-repeat:no-repeat;

Mchl Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 When you use arrays within strings, you have to put {} around them, like this: $navigation_name2 = "{$cat_row['navigation_name']}"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidOhioIT Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Mchl, Thanks for your help. I did that put still got the same error. The error does not go away until i take away the entire php block: <?php include("inc/dbconnect.php"); $cat_sql = "SELECT * FROM categories order by display_order"; while ($cat_row = mysql_fetch_array($cat_sql)) { echo "267";// $navigation_name = "$cat_row['navigation_name']"; $navigation_name2 = "{$cat_row['navigation_name']}"; // $type = '$cat_row["type"]'; if($type == "sub") {$navigation_name2 = " $navigation_name"; } echo "<option value='".$navigation_name."'>".$navigation_name2."</option>" ; } ?> Is it possible that i can not do php the the $html_form = <<< END_HTML like i want to?

Mchl Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 You shouldn't really put PHP code within HEREDOC string. HEREDOC interpolates variables effectively braking your code.

mrMarcus Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Is it possible that i can not do php the the $html_form = <<< END_HTML like i want to? you can't do that. simply: ... your code ... <option value="Select Categories">Select Categories</option> END_HTML; include("inc/dbconnect.php"); $cat_sql = "SELECT * FROM categories order by display_order"; while ($cat_row = mysql_fetch_array($cat_sql)) { echo "267"; //$navigation_name = "$cat_row['navigation_name']"; $navigation_name2 = '$cat_row["navigation_name"]'; $type = '$cat_row["type"]'; if($type == "sub") {$navigation_name2 = " $navigation_name"; } echo "<option value='".$navigation_name."'>".$navigation_name2."</option>" ; } $html_form .= <<<END_HTML </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" valign="middle"><div align="right" class="style11">web address : </div></td> <td height="23" valign="middle"> </td> <td height="23" valign="middle"><input name="web_address" type="text" value="$web_address" class="style2" size="35" /> <span style="color:{$ErrColor};"> {$formError['web_address']}</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="50" colspan="3" valign="top"><div align="center"> <label> <br /> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </label> <label> <input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset" /> </label> </div></td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="16"> </td> <td width="222" valign="top" background="images/infobox2.png" STYLE=" background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top;"><table width="100%" height="361" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="8" rowspan="9"> </td> <td width="87%" height="55"> </td> <td width="5" rowspan="9"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="34"><span class="style19">Phone: </span><span class="style2">(740) 555 - 6677</span><span class="style19"> Fax: </span><span class="style2">(740) 666 - 8899 </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="32" valign="bottom"><span class="style19">Email:</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="26" valign="middle"><span class="style2">info@buckeyediscount.com</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="25"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="56" align="center" valign="middle"><img src="images/facebooklink.jpg" width="171" height="56" border="0" usemap="#Map" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="25"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="76" align="center" valign="middle"><img src="images/twitterlink.jpg" width="169" height="76" border="0" usemap="#Map2" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> <map name="Map" id="Map"> <area shape="rect" coords="3,3,167,49" href="http://www.facebook.com" /> </map> <map name="Map2" id="Map2"> <area shape="rect" coords="2,4,159,66" href="http://www.twitter.com" /> </map> </td> <td width="10"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> END_HTML; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
