I was modifying my news page of my website & somehow I got a Parse error on my line 64 which is the above code snibbet that starts with " if($HTTP...

 

Now I didn't make any modifications to , say the HTTP_GET_VARS (Which I know is an old code) but somehow a semi colon or something got deleted. I didnt make the script but I cant figure it out!

 

Here's the full page...

If its a missing semicolon then its most likely before the line that is stated in the error.  Could you post all of the code please?

There is no terminating double quote and semicolon on this line:

 

$newslist .= "<a href='news.php?view=$selectmin&vmax=$selectmax' style='font-weight:".$fweight.";'>".$new_word." (".$newslisttotal.")</a>

[Ken2k7]

When posting codes here, they are usually color coded. It helps to quickly look through them. If you did that, you would have spotted the issue.

[JustLikeIcarus]

Dang the182guy got it first.

[massacremichael]

				}

				$newslist .= "<a href='news.php?view=$selectmin&vmax=$selectmax' style='font-weight:".$fweight.";'>".$new_word." (".$newslisttotal.")</a>;"
			}

 

Thats not right :/. Ugh sorry guys I'm really new at all this haha. I am the marketing guy not the programmer . What did I do wrong now on that line

[Ken2k7]

You either:

1. Forgot a semicolon at the end of the line; or

2. Placed the semicolon after "</a>" when it should be after the ending quote.

[JustLikeIcarus]

You were mixing around quote usagle which makes it that much more difficult.  Heres it rewritten a little clearer hopefully.

$newslist .= '<a href="news.php?view='.$selectmin.'&vmax='.$selectmax.'" style="font-weight:'.$fweight.'; ">'.$new_word.' ('.$newslisttotal.')</a>';

 

the '; was missing at the end.

[Ken2k7]

The quote usage was fine. Just the semi-colon that was missing.

 

To be clearer, I would use sprintf.

[massacremichael]

Perfect. Thanks a ton everyone .

I like this community haha
