Unexpect T encapsed and whitespace

[jwer78]

Im not sure why Im getting this error but it says unexpected t encapsed and whitespace expecting ']' line 58. This script works fine on another site I used it on so Im kinda baffled. Any ideas what it could be? Bold is the line 58 Thanks in advance

for($count=0;$count<$teams_division[$div];$count++){
if($count%2==0) $back = 'cccccc';
else $back = 'FFFFFF';
echo "<tr>";
[b]echo "<td width=100 align=left>' . $team_name[$old_count+$count] . '</td>";[/b]
echo "<td width=15 align=center>' . $wins[$old_count + $count] . '</td>";
echo "<td width=15 align=center>' . $loses[$old_count + $count] . '</td>";
echo "<td width=15 align=center>' . $ties[$old_count + $count] . '</td>";
}
$old_count += $teams_division[$div];

remove the spaces..

echo "<td width=100 align=left>' . $team_name[$old_count+$count] . '</td>";

 

like

 

echo "<td width=100 align=left>'.$team_name[$old_count+$count].'</td>";

 

if you want spaces actually in it then add them in the strings.

Its your quotes I think.  You start with a double then use single to contatation wtih variables keep it with double quotes

i.e

echo "<td width=100 align=left>".$team_name[$old_count+$count]."</td>";

[balistic]

echo('<td width=100 align=left>'.$team_name[$old_count+$count].'</td>');

 

thats probably what it was good spotting

echo isn't a function its a language construct/dynamic thus using the () will only supply errors

[balistic]

no it wont, its not needed that is true, but its certainly not going to error. i like it that way to see openings and endings easier.

[cooldude832]

actually on strict it will error because it will be considered declared as a function.

 

    Note: Because this is a language construct and not a function, it cannot be called using variable functions

 

right off php.net they use quotes, but as of strict version of 5 and i believe through 6s release you can not call it with () to prevent all issues that might be unforseen

Ah your right sorry

[cooldude832]

it shouldn't error and it was right at a time, but now its frowned apon because you might have created your own function echo with that being params for it.

that makes sense  you wouldnt happen to know the solution to my switch problem?
