ballhogjoni Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I am getting this error and cant figure it out: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting '&' or T_VARIABLE in /path/to/app/cool.php on line 150 this is line 50: function GetParentIDS(){ this is the rest of the function: global $wpdb; $CATS = ""; $Maincategories = get_categories('use_desc_for_title=1&hide_empty=0&hierarchical=0'); $Maincatcount = count($Maincategories); foreach ($Maincategories as $Maincat) { if($Maincat->parent ==0){ $CATS .= $Maincat->cat_ID.","; } } return $CATS; } this is the function above it: function sidebarArticles(){ global $wpdb; global $PPT; $string=""; $posts = query_posts('meta_key=type&meta_value=article&posts_per_page=5'); foreach($posts as $article){ $Artimage = get_post_meta($article->ID, 'image', true); $string .= "<li>"; if(strlen($Artimage) > 1){ $string .= '<a href="'.get_permalink($article->ID).'" title="'.$article->post_title.'"><img src="'.$PPT->ImageCheck($Artimage).'" style="float:right; max-width:40px; max-height:40px;" /></a>'; } $string .= "<h4><a href='".get_permalink($article)."'>".$article->post_title."</a></h4> <cite>Posted <em>".$PPT->TimeDiff($article->post_date)."</em></cite> <p>".$article->post_excerpt."</p> </li>"; } return $string; } Any ideas?

Pikachu2000 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The error says line 150, not line 50. Is that an oversight, or a typo?

ballhogjoni Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 ok figured it out...nothing wrong with the code that I posted in the first post. I was editing in the wordpress editor and had made a change that caused the error. I clicked the back button on the browser which showed the broken code, i changed it to worked right but since the file was saved with broken code wordpress couldn't update the correct changes. I just logged into the server and made the changes in vim and it fixed right up.
