Pudgemeister Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 aha ty u found what i couldnt i shall begin testing this but this topic isn't solved yet as tehre are many more probs (im guessin) with this code Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46874-solved-function-variable-problems-this-might-take-a-while/#findComment-228529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgemeister Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 ok ive replaced any of those stupid lookin $'$vehicle'_build_time variables with ${$vehicle}_build_time variable names according to the info page you gave me (which is now bookmarked-tyvm) this should be correct im still getting the same error :S the error is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in C:\wamp\www\game\vehicles\vehicle_build_times.inc.php on line 141 i even get that error with a simple variable in place of the variable variable. i can't see the problem :S whats up?

Pudgemeister Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 atm it's starting at the first line where im trying to use a variable variable $available_construction = $seconds_since / ${$vehicle}_build_time; is now in place of $available_construction = $seconds_since / $'$vehicle'_build_time; and it's the same for other places like that Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46874-solved-function-variable-problems-this-might-take-a-while/#findComment-228583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The problem is in how your constructing the variable name, try this: <?php $available_construction = $seconds_since / ${$vehicle . '_build_time'}; ?> Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46874-solved-function-variable-problems-this-might-take-a-while/#findComment-228622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgemeister Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 stil getting: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in C:\wamp\www\game\vehicles\vehicle_build_times.inc.php on line 141 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46874-solved-function-variable-problems-this-might-take-a-while/#findComment-228701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I tested my suggestion with <?php $seconds_since = 58; $vehicle = 'jeep'; ${$vehicle . '_build_time'} = 3; $available_construction = $seconds_since / ${$vehicle . '_build_time'}; echo $available_construction; ?> and it worked fine. The error must be referring to something else.
