PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

[phpnewbieca]

I need some help. I received this error:

 

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in on line 33

 

Line 33:  $fh = fopen("$MyFile", "r");

 

I read everything I could on this error but nothing applies to my situation.

Are you absolutely sure you're looking at the right line in the right file? Because it looks fine to me too.

 

It may sound silly but try deleting the line and carefully typing it again.

[Gopger86]

Any specific reason why your File name is in quotation marks?

 

What data is in the file?

[phpnewbieca]

Sleepy Member: I retyped the line.

Newbie: I took the quotes off.

 

and got this error:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in on line 35 

Line 35:  if(strpos($olddata, "$searchfor")) {

 

So, I took the quotes off:

if(strpos($olddata, $searchfor)) {

 

Then I received 'can't find it'. That is line 41:   echo "can't find it";

 

The confirmation Number is in $MyFile: Confirmation Number: 905915307

 

Any Ideas why it cant find the confirmation number '905915307 '?

Hi. Maybe you can try utting the xml tag in the first line of your file.

 

Please explain how the XML tag would help?

Nothing I have read indicates the XML would be of use in this script.

I agree

It has nothing to do with my problem.

[phpnewbieca]

The string $searchfor has this in it: I can't find the number you are searching for - searchfor: 2026540492 Â

Line 42: echo "I can't find the number you are searching for - searchfor: $searchfor"

 

I do not understand why there is a character after the number:

Line 32:  $searchfor = rtrim($confirmation_number);

 

How can I get rid of the character after the number, 2026540492 Â, and remove all spaces before and after the number?

What happened to post #4?

#4 Newbie

Hi. Maybe you can try utting the xml tag in the first line of your file.

[PaulRyan]

This line:

 

$fh = fopen(MyfFile, "r");

 

You are missing the $ from infront of MyFile

I took the post away seeing as it did have nothing to do with anything.  What strikes me as more odd than post #4's existence is the fact that you felt the need to quote it as if to reminisce its irrelevance??

We only knew post #4 for a short time, however I think his impact will be felt for years to come.  Looking back on the life of post #4, who can forget all of the humorous anecdotes and witty remarks, such as:

Or the many insightful and informative contributions, such as:

[mac_gyver]

your latest posted code is still missing the $ in front of the MyFile variable name and is therefor not reading the file at all. you would be getting several php error messages. you need to set php's error_reporting to E_ALL and display_errors to ON to get php to help you.

 

as to the extra characters on the end of the $confirmation_number value, where or how are the POST values being generated and submitted?

[phpnewbieca]

PaulRayan:  I fixed line 33:  $fh = fopen($MyfFile, "r");

                    Thank you!

mac_gyver: (1) I fixed line 33:  $fh = fopen($MyfFile, "r");

                   (2) Line 24: $confirmation_number = $_POST['confirmation_number'];

                        Line 31: $MyFile = "s_vcs.txt";

                        Line 32: $searchfor = trim($confirmation_number);

                        Line 33: $fh = fopen($MyfFile, "r");

                        Line 34: $olddata = fread($fh, filesize($MyFile));

                        Line 35: if(strpos($olddata, trim($searchfor))) {

                        Line 36:  echo "fount it";

                        Line 37: // Call Functions

                        Line 38:  mail_attachment($my_file, $my_path, "[email protected]", $my_mail, $my_name, $my_replyto, $my_subject, $my_message);

                        Line 39: }40: 

                        Line 40: else {

                        Line 41:  echo "I can't find the number you are searching for - $searchfor\n\n"; 

                        Line 42:  }

Note: Line 35 (above) produced this error: PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in on line 35 

So, I removed the tirm() from line 35 after I posted the CODE:  if(strpos($olddata, $searchfor)) {

 

Now, I am getting line 41: I can't find the number you are searching for - 2026540492 Â

[PaulRyan]

If it is ALWAYS going to be a number, just preg_replace anything that isn't a number?

 

Example

 

$searchfor =preg_replace('#[\D]#', '', $confirmation_number);

[phpnewbieca]

PaulRyan: I replaced line 46: $searchfor = $confirmation_number;

                                              $searchfor = preg_replace('#[\D]#', '', $confirmation_number);

 

I'm still receiving Line 62: I can't find the number you are searching for - 2026540492 Â

You are running a different version of the file, as I cannot see  I can't find the number you are searching for anywhere in the code you have provided.

[PaulRyan]

I cannot edit my last post, take a look at this.

 

I have changed around some of the logic, as I was getting a lot of errors when I ran the code on my dev setup.

 

I have replace ereg with preg_match.

I have used ternary operators for some of the assignment of variables.

I have removed unneeded variables best I can.

Instead of echo-ing from the function, I have chosen the return any error information.
