It's impossible to have 'else' without having 'if' first.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end  online 1651

Try this:

 

require FORUM_ROOT.'footer.php';

if($action == 'delete_avatar'){
    if($forum_user['id'] != $id && $forum_user['g_id'] > USER_MOD){
	xBB_Message($lang_common['No permission']);
	xBB_Confirm_Referrer('profile.php');
	@unlink($configuration['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.jpg');
	@unlink($configuration['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.png');
	@unlink($configuration['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif');
	$db->query('UPDATE '.$db->prefix.'users SET use_avatar=0 WHERE id='.$id) or xBB_Error('Unable to update avatar state', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
	xBB_Redirect('profile.php?section=personality&id='.$id, $lang_profile['Avatar deleted redirect']);
}
}

Perhaps you should try learning some basic syntax?

[khile]

im not saying i know alot just trying to help a friend i have changed code and get:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\xampp\htdocs\2\profile.php on line 1649

and that line equals

 

<?php
    require FORUM_ROOT.'footer.php';
}
?>

That usually indicates a curly brace left open.

[khile]

<?php
            }
        }
?>
            </form>
    </div>
<?php
    }
?>
    <div class="clearer"></div>
</div>
<?php
    require FORUM_ROOT.'footer.php';
            }
        }
?>

 

thats the code and says errors on line 1651, the very last line

 

i found and closed the open bracket

 

ps: sorry to be a pain

[Vettel]

khile could you post your entire code please?

[Pikachu2000]

For the error to point to the last line is normal. After all, the php interpreter has no idea where you intended to put the closing brace . . .

[khile]

says code is too long more that 40000 charactors

 

ill try and split

[khile]

i have attached file

 

[attachment deleted by admin]

profile.php compiles here. that makes me suspect the problem is in an included file.

[khile]

i got profile php working but im trying to make my code php5 compliant

 

  $group_opt = ereg_replace($group.'"', $group.'" selected',$group_opt);

 

but get error Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated

 

i found it need to be replaced with preg_replace but that gives a delimiter error

 

thanks

The expression must be enclosed in the delimiters, a forward slash (/), for example. Delimiters can be any non-alphanumeric, non-whitespace ASCII character except the backslash (\) and the null byte. If the delimiter character has to be used in the expression itself, it needs to be escaped by backslash. Since PHP 4.0.4, you can also use Perl-style (), {}, [], and <>  matching delimiters.
