Unexpected T_Var

[foucquet]

I am trying to bring a flickr feed into a webpage, and can't work out why this:-

 

<?php
// >>> Set up the variables needed <<<
$photos = array();
$encode_params = array();
$maximgs = 19;	 // >>> This need to be 1 less than actual req'd No. as array counts from 0 <<<
// >>> Set up the parameters for the API <<<
$api_params = array(
'api_key'	 => 'my api key',
'method'	 => 'flickr.photos.search',
'user_id'	 => 'my id',
'format'	 => 'php_serial',
);
//>>> Encode the parameters ready to make API request <<<
foreach($api_params as $k => $v){
$encode_params[] = urlencode($k) . '=' . urlencode($v);
}
var_dump($encode_params);
// >>> Construct API url and make the request <<<
$api_url = 'http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?' . implode('&', $encode_params);
var_dump($api_url);
// >>> Retrieve images <<<
$rsp = file_get_contents($api_url);
$rsp_obj = unserialize($rsp);
echo $rsp_obj;
var-dump($rsp_obj['photos']['photo']); //>>> Line 37 <<<
?>

 

gives me "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VAR in C:\wamp\www\php\flickr tests\prev3~.php on line 37".

Really? you don't see anything wrong with "var-dump" ??

$api_params = array(
'api_key' => '1b6e67959f14d79c2c9c568b02c23f23',
'method' => 'flickr.photos.search',
'user_id' => '49466419@N05',
'format' => 'php_serial',
);

Also, there is a comma after the last element - indicating that there should be another element in the array.

Commas at the ends of the array declaration are valid, oddly enough.

 

There are two places in PHP where errant commas are valid:

1) Trailing commas in array declarations:

$a = array( 1,2,3, );

 

2) Initial commas within list():

list(,$a) = explode(",", $Foo);

OK, OK, I'm a complete dummy - didn't even spot those errors, too busy looking for everything but the bleedin' obvious!

 

That indeed now works (hides head in shame!)
