T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE Error

[sfraise]

I'm guessing the '%USERS%' part of the code is where the issue is but no matter what I try I can't seem to get this code to work.

The funny thing is this worked fine on my previous server but since I moved to a new one it doesn't. If I try to change it to any variation of "%USERS%"' then I get an sql error. I'm sure this is something simple but I just can't get it.

I've escaped the quotes for you, this will make sure it remains part of the string. (Notice the colour change). Also I've added a ; to the end of the function to end it.

One, your quotes (single) needed to be escaped or it put inside of Double Quotes.

 

$dummyURl = sefRelToabs("http://www.oohya.net/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='%USER%'");

 

Also you had the &  amp on separate lines, need to be on the same line. Try the above on one line and see how it goes.

Oh duh lol, I was tweaking on this to get it to work and forgot to put the escape ; back in.

Thanks for the help, knew it was something simple and obvious, just not to me at the moment lol.

Glad to help Just fyi the escapes are the backslashes (\) they let you maintain the same quotes inside of each other, for example if you wanted to do echo 'My name's Bob'; it would actually end the string in the word name's due to the quote. To get round this you do echo 'My name\'s Bob'; that way it will output My name's Bob.
