Parse error: parse error, unexpected $.. ARGGGGG ** SOLVED **

[jwk811]

this is weird.. im getting this error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected $
on the very last line where it says </form>.. what could cause this

Can you show us the code?

My first guess would be that somewhere above that line, you forgot to close a string (missed a quote) or left off a semi-colon.

ok its pretty long.. thats for looking over it! ;D

[jwk811]

i think it might be too long to fit

[jwk811]

i took this out to see if this was the problem and it was.. can you tell me whats wrong with this?
[code]<?php

if (isset($_POST['optPayment'])) {
$optPayment = $_POST['optPayment'];


if ($optPayment == 'paypal') {
$paypal_checked = 'checked="checked"';
} else if ($optPayment == 'cod') {
$paypal_checked = '' ;
} else {
$paypal_checked = 'checked="checked"';
}
?>

<?php
if ($optPayment == 'cod') {
$cod_checked = 'checked="checked"';
} else if ($optPayment == 'paypal') {
$cod_checked = '';
} else {
$cod_checked = '';
}

} else {
$paypal_checked = 'checked="checked"';
$cod_checked = '';
?>[/code]

Symptomatic of an unclosed loop.  If you indent every loop it makes it much easier to spot when you fail to close them.,

[code]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['optPayment'])) {
    $optPayment = $_POST['optPayment'];
    if ($optPayment == 'paypal') {
$paypal_checked = 'checked="checked"';
    } else if ($optPayment == 'cod') {
$paypal_checked = '' ;
    } else {
$paypal_checked = 'checked="checked"';
    }
    if ($optPayment == 'cod') {
$cod_checked = 'checked="checked"';
    } else if ($optPayment == 'paypal') {
$cod_checked = '';
    }  //<--I think I just found it.
} else {
$cod_checked = '';
}
[/code]

It should read like this


[code]
<?php

if (isset($_POST['optPayment'])) {
    $optPayment = $_POST['optPayment'];

    if ($optPayment == 'paypal') {
          $paypal_checked = 'checked="checked"';
    } else if ($optPayment == 'cod') {
  $paypal_checked = '' ;
    } else {
$paypal_checked = 'checked="checked"';
    }
?>

<?php
    if ($optPayment == 'cod') {
$cod_checked = 'checked="checked"';
    } else if ($optPayment == 'paypal') {
$cod_checked = '';
    } else {
$cod_checked = '';
    }

} else {
$paypal_checked = 'checked="checked"';
$cod_checked = '';
} //YOU WERE MISSING THIS BRACKET...
?>

[/code]

you are missing the last bracket. Hope this helps
