Parse error, but not what it looks like...

PC Nerd · January 21, 2007

im receiving this error, which is usually shown when youve left out the ; or somethingbut i havent........ the ontly thing which could be wrong is probably the array value which im trying to echo, this is my error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in URL\B_A-Base.php on line 62

my code......

[code]<?php #40

if(!$_COOKIE){
echo "Please login again. <a href= 'B_A-Home.html'>log in again here</a>";
}

else{### Display normal page

require("inc_files/Database_link.inc");
$User_Name = $_COOKIE['User_Name'];
$General_Stats_SQL = "SELECT Points, Research, Sustainability, Attack, Defense, Friends, Units, Resource_1 FROM Table_1 WHERE User_Name = ".$User_Name;
$Query = mysql_Query($General_Stats_SQL, $DB_Server);
$Stats = mysql_fetch_array($Query);
$Stats['M_Power'] = $Stats['Attack'] + $Stats['Defense'] /2;

echo "<center>";
echo "<table border='1' width='100%' hight='75'>";

echo "<td width='50%' hight='50'>";
echo "RECENT SITE DOVELOPMENTS";
echo "</td>";

echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
echo "</center>";

}
?>[/code]

does any one have any suggestions as to what could be cauaseing this

fert · January 21, 2007

[code]
echo "<tr hight='200'>"; $60
[/code]
should be
[code]
echo "<tr hight='200'>";
[/code]

Jessica · January 21, 2007

See where the colors start to get funky?

[code]
echo "<p>ATTACK: $Stats['Attack']"</p>";
echo "<p>DEFENSE: $Stats['Defense']</p>";
echo "</blockquote>";
echo "<p>FRIENDS: $Stats['Friends']</p>";
[/code]

You put a " after $Stats['Attack'].

PC Nerd · January 21, 2007

thats meant to be #60.............. a comment for the page line, by anyway, getting rid of it still cauase the error on line 62

kobmat · January 21, 2007

Try

[CODE]
echo "<p>POINTS: ".$Stats['Points']."</p>";
echo "<p>RESEARCH COUNT: ".$Stats['Research']."</p>";
echo "<p>SUSTAINABILITY: ".$Stats['Sustainability']."</p>";
echo "<p>MILITARY POWER: ".$Stats['']</p>"; // an array index is missing in this line

echo "<blockquote>";
echo "<p>ATTACK: ".$Stats['Attack']."</p>";
echo "<p>DEFENSE: ".$Stats['Defense']."</p>";
echo "</blockquote>";
echo "<p>FRIENDS: ".$Stats['Friends']."</p>";
[/CODE]

PC Nerd · January 21, 2007

Jessica · January 21, 2007

You still get the exact same error? Are you sure... you have the right file?

PC Nerd · January 21, 2007

100% sure its the right file......

Destruction · January 21, 2007

echo "<p>MILITARY POWER: $Stats[']</p>";

notice there's no key for $stats[] just a single ' - try correcting that and the one that jesirose put up and try again

You need to read up on string syntax. Personally I prefer concatenation with single quotes, but there are many ways to assemble strings:

http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

I took out all parse errors, and most of them where string syntax errors.

[code]<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

if(!$_COOKIE){
echo "Please login again. <a href= 'B_A-Home.html'>log in again here</a>";
}

$User_Name = $_COOKIE['User_Name'];
$General_Stats_SQL = "SELECT Points, Research, Sustainability, Attack, Defense, Friends, Units, Resource_1 FROM Table_1 WHERE User_Name = ".$User_Name;
$Query = mysql_Query($General_Stats_SQL, $DB_Server);
$Stats = mysql_fetch_array($Query);
$Stats['M_Power'] = $Stats['Attack'] + $Stats['Defense'] /2;

echo "<center>";
echo "<table border='1' width='100%' hight='75'>";
echo "<tr hight='200'>";
echo "<td width='50%' hight='50'>";
echo '<p>POINTS: '.$Stats['Points'].'</p>';

echo "<blockquote>";

ive added the array index, and the string formated accourding to jesirose
AND THERE IS STILL THIS ERROR :< i dont understand about the {} in string formatting but i dont think it applies.

thanks for your help, but are there anymore suggestions?

Jessica · January 21, 2007

You changed it to exactly what he posted? Can you show us the error, perhaps it's a new line farther on now.

PC Nerd · January 21, 2007

[/quote]

It does. But string concatenation works fine too.

Anyway:

[code]<?php
echo "<p>POINTS: ".$Stats['Points']."</p>";
echo "<p>RESEARCH COUNT: ".$Stats['Research']."</p>";
echo "<p>SUSTAINABILITY: ".$Stats['Sustainability']."</p>";
echo "<p>MILITARY POWER: ".$Stats['M_Power']."</p>";

echo "<blockquote>";
echo "<p>ATTACK: ".$Stats['Attack']."</p>";
echo "<p>DEFENSE: ".$Stats['Defense']."</p>";
echo "</blockquote>";
echo "<p>FRIENDS: ".$Stats['Friends']."</p>";
?>[/code]

Will fix it.

Ninjakreborn · January 21, 2007

Is that specific page you keep posting
B_A-Base.php
and not putting out an error on a page that is included in it, or something?

Jessica · January 21, 2007

You never fixed the one I posted!
echo "<p>POINTS: .$Stats['Points']."</p>";
Needs to be
echo "<p>POINTS: ".$Stats['Points']."</p>";

kenrbnsn · January 21, 2007

Line 62 is
[code]<?php
echo "<p>POINTS: .$Stats['Points']."</p>";
?>[/code]
Notice that you don't have and ending double quote before the ".", add that and this error will go away:
[code]<?php
echo "<p>POINTS: ".$Stats['Points']."</p>";
?>[/code]

You've made this mistake on the following 3 lines also.

Eugene · January 21, 2007

[code=php:0]
require("inc_files/Database_link.inc");
[/code]

I do not recommend using a .inc as a php extention. Because if you entered www.domain.com/inc/example.inc all your code will be readable because your preprocessor does not parse "inc" or "include" files. Instead, try and use example.inc.php.

I made that mistake when I was a beginner, It wasn't pretty ;)

PC Nerd · January 21, 2007

ok, error fixed,

now im getting the error with this code:

[code]require("inc_files/Database_link.inc");
$User_Name = $_COOKIE['User_Name'];
$General_Stats_SQL = "SELECT Points, Research, Sustainability, Attack, Defense, Friends, Units, Resource_1 FROM Table_1 WHERE User_Name = ".$User_Name;
$Query = mysqli_query($DB_Server, $General_Stats_SQL);
$Stats = mysqli_fetch_array($Query);
$Stats['M_Power'] = $Stats['Attack'] + $Stats['Defense'] /2;[/code]

the line defining the mysqli_fetch_arry()......

ERROR:
Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, string given in C:\xampp\xampp\xampp\htdocs\Battle-Ages\B_A-Base.php on line 51

Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in C:\xampp\xampp\xampp\htdocs\Battle-Ages\B_A-Base.php on line 52

i thought i got it correct, i know the $DB_Server is correct, its the query thats not working.

thankyou for all your help.......

PC Nerd · January 21, 2007

in reply to the comement about require();, its ok, the inc files are souronded by <?php and ?> tags. but it helps be remember which are the included files, and chich are the php scripts

thanks anyway, very valid point

Eugene · January 21, 2007

[code=php:0]
require("inc_files/Database_link.inc");
$User_Name = $_COOKIE['User_Name'];
$General_Stats_SQL = "SELECT Points, Research, Sustainability, Attack, Defense, Friends, Units, Resource_1 FROM Table_1 WHERE User_Name = ".$User_Name;
$Query = mysqli_query($General_Stats_SQL, $DB_Server);
$Stats = mysqli_fetch_array($Query);
$Stats['M_Power'] = $Stats['Attack'] + $Stats['Defense'] /2;
[/code]

Switch them around.

For you SQL query, try this.

[sql]
SELECT Points, Research, Sustainability, Attack, Defense, Friends, Units, Resource_1 FROM Table_1 WHERE User_Name = '$User_Name'
[/sql]

Ninjakreborn · January 21, 2007

Whether they are surrounded by php tag's, or not doesn't matter. They can pull up those .inc files into the browser, and get information out of them directly, not only is it a valid point, but it is one of the dumbest security mistakes you could make.

I use
whatever.inc.php
That way php still parses them, unless you custom setup your server to process .inc file's, and it's till not a good idea to get in the general habit, as it's well... Dumb.

PC Nerd · January 21, 2007

ok...... switched them around and got this error:

Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, string given in C:\xampp\xampp\xampp\htdocs\Battle-Ages\B_A-Base.php on line 51

Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in C:\xampp\xampp\xampp\htdocs\Battle-Ages\B_A-Base.php on line 52

Eugene · January 21, 2007

Nevermind, I was just reading mysqli page on php.net as I'm not very familiar with it. Revert back to
[code=php:0]
$Query = mysqli_query($DB_Server, $General_Stats_SQL);[/code]

PC Nerd · January 21, 2007

ok, errors at present:

Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in C:\xampp\xampp\xampp\htdocs\Battle-Ages\B_A-Base.php on line 52

thanks
