Parse error: syntax error

[aires]

Hello, I need help.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'SCRIPT_FILENAME' (T_STRING) in xxxxxxxxwp-content/themes/satish/thumb/timthumb.php on line 841

Line 841 has this:

$this->debug(3, "Generated docRoot using SCRIPT_FILENAME and PHP_SELF as: $docRoot");

 

 

How can i resolve this error?

protected function calcDocRoot(){

$docRoot = @$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

if (defined('LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY')) {

$docRoot = LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY;   

}

if(!isset($docRoot)){ 

$this->debug(3, "DOCUMENT_ROOT is not set. This is probably windows. Starting search 1.");

if(isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])){

$this->debug(3, "Generated docRoot using SCRIPT_FILENAME and PHP_SELF as: $docRoot");

} 

}

if(!isset($docRoot)){ 

$this->debug(3, "DOCUMENT_ROOT still is not set. Starting search 2.");

if(isset($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'])){

$docRoot = str_replace( '\', '/', substr(str_replace('\\', '\', $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']), 0, 0-strlen($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])));

$this->debug(3, "Generated docRoot using PATH_TRANSLATED and PHP_SELF as: $docRoot");

}

I do not get that error for that script you posted. Also that script you linked to is for a Wordpress theme. This is no longer maintained/supported as the original developer has expressed in their blog here

 

I recommend you to find and use a different theme.

Working on the irrational theory that, somehow, PHP is wanting to 'expand' the names of the constants in the quoted string, I would try this variation of the statement:

$this->debug(3, 'Generated docRoot using SCRIPT_FILENAME and PHP_SELF as: '.$docRoot);

using apostrophes to delineate the string, and concatenation.

@bsmiter Not true. Only variables are expanded within quotes

You could not duplicate the statement to get that error.

 

I put on the table an irrational theory.

 

When you remove the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, still must be tried.
