Unexpected TString

[Xtremer360]

I am getting an unexpected T_string error? Not seeing it need a second pair of eyes!

<?php
print '<div id="roster">';

print '<a href="/roster/tagteam">Tag Teams</a> | <a href="/roster/stables">Stables</a> | <a href="/roster/managers">Managers</a> | <a href="/roster/referees">Referees</a> | <a href=/roster/staff>Staff</a>';
$query = "SELECT bio.sortorder as sortorder FROM efed_bio as bio INNER JOIN efed_list_styles as style ON ( bio.style_id = style.id ) WHERE style.name = 'singles' and bio.status_id = '1' GROUP BY bio.sortorder ORDER BY bio.sortorder";
$result = mysql_query ($query); 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $sortorder=$row['sortorder'];
if ($sortorder == "0-9") {
print '<!--<h2 class=backstage>- ".$sortorder." -</h2>-->';
} else

$$fieldlabel=cleanquerydata($$fieldlabel);
}
}
print '<tr>';

I had an unexpected TString once..  it took me forever to find it.  Turns out it was on line 123 and I was missing a semicolon.

If the error is near the second to the last line that was posted, those are not single-quotes. They are smart/curly quotes and are not php syntax friendly.

Yeah lesson here is never c&p to ms word to hold your code into something else. lol I'm an idiot. Anyway now getting.

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/content/y/a/n/yankeefaninkc/html/wp-content/plugins/exec-php/includes/runtime.php(42) : eval()’d code on line 32

New code posted in original post.

[PFMaBiSmAd]

Just about every string in that code that contains either a php variable or contains another quote within the outer quoted string is wrong (take a look at the color highlighting that the forum software did.)

 

A) php variables are only repalced by their value when they are contained within a string that starts/ends with double-quotes.

B) Putting php variables inside double-quoted strings usually results in fewer syntax errors than using concatenate.

C) Any quote within a string that is the same type of quote that started the string will close the string unless you escape it or use a different type of quote in the string than starts/ends the string.

 

What does this thread have to do with the forum section you posted it in? It is php syntax errors in strings that are not being written correctly.

I'm just trying to figure out which lines are needing adjusted. I know its like where it says height weight and hometown but I even took out those lines and got the same error so I know there's others.
