GB12 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I am in a beginners php class. I am writing a function library right now. I keep getting an unexpected T_STRING error on line 44. Can anyone see an error in any of these lines? function getAirline ($destination) { if ($destination == "Barcelona") return Web Airlines; //This is line 44 elseif ($destination == "Cairo") return PHP Air; elseif ($destination == "Rome") return Air Java; elseif ($destination == "Santiago") return SQL Air; elseif ($destination == "Tokyo") return Object Oriented Airlines; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/232674-keep-getting-an-unexpected-t_string-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 You need quotes around your return values. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/232674-keep-getting-an-unexpected-t_string-error/#findComment-1196712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooney Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The issue is here return Web Airlines; You need to return a variable. Try this instead: return 'Web Airlines'; The same goes for every return you have there, surround the string with quotes as I did above.
