scottmmx Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Greetings, I am working on a dynamic driven website. I was getting the message that the webpage could not find the script so, according to my webhost, I put the path of (/home/users/web/b195555/jpg.atlanticdrivingschoo into my script now I get the error message Error unexpected '/', expecting ')' Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. I am new to php and greatly appreciate the help I have attached the code in a file . Thank you so much Scott [attachment deleted by admin] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244349-index-php-error-message-lost-depsearte-for-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 What are you trying to do? I don't get what this is. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244349-index-php-error-message-lost-depsearte-for-help/#findComment-1255005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpy09 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Sounds like you are trying to pass a string without making it a string! Try ('/home/users/web/b195555/jpg.atlanticdrivingschoo') You have to enclose the path in Double Quotes ( " ) or Single Quotes ( ' ) if you are passing it as a parameter!

WebStyles Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I Agree with Jumpy09. this: (line 16 of your file) define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(/home/users/web/b195555/jpg.atlanticdrivingschoo) ); should be : define('JPATH_BASE', dirname("/home/users/web/b195555/jpg.atlanticdrivingschoo") ); P.S. are you really coding in MS Word ?

Jumpy09 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 WoW if you are coding in MS Word I feel for you. I recommend Notepad++ because the syntax highlighting covers a vast assortment of different codes. There are other programs out there to code in, but anything with Syntax Highlighting, if you can get a source previewer that doesn't hurt but it can sometimes prevent certain methods of coding unless it allows for includes and such. Definitely get something with syntax highlighting, it will be much more visual so that you can see potential syntax errors. It isn't perfect, but it would have definitely of made that one stand out. (( Notepad++ would have, some Syntax Highlighting programs are not as in-depth as it is. Of course it isn't perfect and does have some flaws, but you can always set your own things to include in the syntax highlighting.. so it's nice. )) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244349-index-php-error-message-lost-depsearte-for-help/#findComment-1255047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 scottmmx, instead of attaching your entire code, post the relevant bits. Also, if you really are coding in MS word, which is hard to believe, then I strongly suggest using some sort of IDE.
