unexpected T_IF, expecting T_FUNCTION

[Azyrus]

Hello everyone I'm modifying an open source software called phpScheduleIt, I'm trying to change the machid function based on the $type variable and I'm getting this error below:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting T_FUNCTION in C:\xampp\htdocs\phpScheduleIt\lib\Reservation.class.php on line 1122

 

1122	if ($type == RES_TYPE_ADD)
1123		function get_machid() {
1124			return $this->resource->get_property('machid');
1125		}
1126	if ($type == RES_TYPE_MODIFY)
1127		function get_machid() {
1128			return $this->machid;
1129		}

 

I don't understand why this isn't working :\

 

phpSchedule it is a really great free open source scheduling software if anyone is interested, full credits to Nick Korbel. http://php.brickhost.com

The error says unexpected IF, meaning it was expecting something else..  The problem most likely lies above the code you provided.

You can't put if blocks directly inside a class definition. Instead, put them inside the get_machid() function like

function get_machid() {
if ($this->type == RES_TYPE_ADD) {
	return $this->resource->get_property('machid');
} else if ($this->type == RES_TYPE_MODIFY) {
	return $this->machid;
}
}

(assuming that the "type" variable is a member of the Reservation class and not, say, a function parameter you haven't mentioned)
