PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in...


Recommended Posts

Well I see a tutorial of Ajax tabs system, but it uses html code to display the tab instead of php. Therefore, I made a tiny bit of changes, but got this weird T_STRING error on line111, where $text is defined. Here is the script I currently have:

 

<style type="text/css">
		body
		{
			font-family: Arial;
			font-size: 12px;
		}
		.container
		{
			float: left;
			width: 400px;
			border: 1px solid #000000;
		}
		.navcontainer ul
		{
			background-color: #5F707A;
			border-bottom:1px solid #DFDFDF;
			border-top:1px solid #DFDFDF;
			float:left;
			font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
			font-size:12px;
			margin:0pt;
			padding:0pt;
			width:100%;
		}
		.navcontainer ul li
		{
			display: inline;
			text-align: center;
		}
		.navcontainer ul li a:hover
		{
			background-color:#CCCCCC;
			color:#FFFFFF;
		}
		.navcontainer ul li a
		{
			border-right:1px solid #DFDFDF;
			background-color: #BBBBBB;
			font-weight: bold;
			color:#FFFFFF;
			float:left;
			padding:10px;
			text-decoration:none;
			width: 50px;
		}
		.navcontainer ul li a.current
		{
			border-right:1px solid #f00;
			background-color: #f00;
			font-weight: bold;
			color:#fff;
			float:left;
			padding:10px;
			text-decoration:none;
			width: 50px;
		}
		#tabcontent
		{
			min-height: 200px;
			padding-top: 80px;
			padding-left: 10px;
		}
		#preloader
		{
			position: absolute;
			top: 150px;
			left: 100px;
			z-index: 100;
			padding: 5px;
			text-align: center;
			background-color: #FFFFFF;
			border: 1px solid #000000;
		}
	</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.2.3.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">			

		function loadTabContent(tabUrl){
			$("#preloader").show();
			jQuery.ajax({
				url: tabUrl, 
				cache: false,
				success: function(message) {
					jQuery("#tabcontent").empty().append(message);
					$("#preloader").hide();
				}
			});
		}

		jQuery(document).ready(function(){				

			$("#preloader").hide();				
			jQuery("[id^=tab]").click(function(){	

				// get tab id and tab url
				tabId = $(this).attr("id");										
				tabUrl = jQuery("#"+tabId).attr("href");

				jQuery("[id^=tab]").removeClass("current");
				jQuery("#"+tabId).addClass("current");

				// load tab content
				loadTabContent(tabUrl);
				return false;
			});
		});

	</script>
<?php

$text="<div class="container">
				<div class="navcontainer">
			<ul>
				<li><a id="tab1" href="tabs.php?id=1">Google</a></li>
				<li><a id="tab2" href="tabs.php?id=2">Yahoo</a></li>
				<li><a id="tab3" href="tabs.php?id=3">Hotmail</a></li>
				<li><a id="tab4" href="tabs.php?id=4">Twitter</a></li>
			</ul>
		</div>

		<div id="preloader">
			<img src="loading.gif" align="absmiddle"> Loading...				
		</div>

		<div id="tabcontent">
		Simple AJAX Tabs
		</div>					
	</div>";
      echo $text;
?>

 

Can anyone of you please tell me how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Your entire php block, from <?php to ?> needs to be properly echoed, escaping all quotes.

 

but I see no need, as the only php code i see there is the $text variable

 

is this the tutorial?

http://blog.chapagain.com.np/simple-and-easy-jquery-tabs-with-ajax-and-php/

 

I downloaded the source, tested it and works just fine.

In that code, there is a tabs.php file

 

this would be the area where you insert any new data you would want displayed there

<?php
$p = $_GET['id'];

switch($p) {
	case "1":
	echo '<h2>Google</h2>Content goes here !<br style="clear:both;" />';
	break;
				  
	case "2":
	echo 'Yahoo content ?<br style="clear:both;" />';
	break;

	case "3": 
	echo 'My hotmail content goes here...<br style="clear:both;" />';
	break;

	case "4": default:
	echo 'Twitter status update <br style="clear:both;" />';
	break;
}
?>

<?php

$text="<div class=\"container\">
				<div class=\"navcontainer\">
			<ul>
				<li><a id=\"tab1\" href=\"tabs.php?id=1\">Google</a></li>
				<li><a id=\"tab2\" href=\"tabs.php?id=2\">Yahoo</a></li>
				<li><a id=\"tab3\" href=\"tabs.php?id=3\">Hotmail</a></li>
				<li><a id=\"tab4\" href=\"tabs.php?id=4\">Twitter</a></li>
			</ul>
		</div>

		<div id=\"preloader\">
			<img src=\"loading.gif\" align=\"absmiddle\"> Loading...				
		</div>

		<div id=\"tabcontent\">
		Simple AJAX Tabs
		</div>					
	</div>";
      echo $text;
?>

	break;
}
?>

 

Well this I know of, but I cannot use simple html in my script files since these html codes will completely mess up the template design.

<?php

$text="<div class=\"container\">
				<div class=\"navcontainer\">
			<ul>
				<li><a id=\"tab1\" href=\"tabs.php?id=1\">Google</a></li>
				<li><a id=\"tab2\" href=\"tabs.php?id=2\">Yahoo</a></li>
				<li><a id=\"tab3\" href=\"tabs.php?id=3\">Hotmail</a></li>
				<li><a id=\"tab4\" href=\"tabs.php?id=4\">Twitter</a></li>
			</ul>
		</div>

		<div id=\"preloader\">
			<img src=\"loading.gif\" align=\"absmiddle\"> Loading...				
		</div>

		<div id=\"tabcontent\">
		Simple AJAX Tabs
		</div>					
	</div>";
      echo $text;
?>

 

This works, thank you so much. I also planned to use a php class to define ajax tabs, which can be easily called in a php script file.
