Echo error

[pandu]

Hi,

 

I am getting a parse error on following code - not sure what is wrong. Please help

echo "<strong>";

Could we see all your code?

its probably somewhere surrounding that line.

maybe a ";" is missing from the line above? Are your } { closed?

post the code surrounding it, as well as the actual parse error.  You are missing or have too many quotes, brackets, semicolons etc.. somewhere.  The actual error message helps tell you what it is (not) expecting.

Here is the surrounding code. One fix is to replace the double quotes with single quotes.

if ($_GET["start_time"] != NULL){
$start_time_input = $_GET["start_time"];
$start_tz = $_GET["start_tz"];
$end_tz = $_GET["end_tz"];
putenv("TZ=$start_tz);
$start_time = strtotime($start_time_input);
echo "<strong>";   <--- Parse Error starts here. I can fix it by replacing with single quotes
echo date("h:i:sA",$start_time)."\n";  <--- Also get the parse error here if I fix the above
echo "</strong>";  <--- same parse error in this line... sigh... 
putenv("TZ=$end_tz");

simple error

if ($_GET["start_time"] != NULL){



$start_time_input = $_GET["start_time"];



$start_tz = $_GET["start_tz"];



$end_tz = $_GET["end_tz"];



putenv("TZ=$start_tz"); // this line had an unclosed double quote



$start_time = strtotime($start_time_input);



echo "<strong>";   <--- Parse Error starts here. I can fix it by replacing with single quotes



echo date("h:i:sA",$start_time)."\n";  <--- Also get the parse error here if I fix the above



echo "</strong>";  <--- same parse error in this line... sigh... 



putenv("TZ=$end_tz");

 

also you don't need double quotes unless you intend on including a variable like echoing out something

 

so $name = $_GET['name'] and echo("The name is: $name");

 

Good Luck

Hey good catch! Thanks Billy Bob!

Yep no problem. Good luck with the rest of your code and have fun.
