Picky Variable

[d22552000]

My Source In Problem...

$filename = "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/" . $p . "/forum/includes/config.php";

My Outcome:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING.

 

 

What the Hell?

[NArc0t1c]

Try htmlspecialchars function.

Example,

$filename = "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/" . htmlspecialchars($p) . "/forum/includes/config.php";

 

[akitchin]

shouldn't make a difference, as the parse error is encountered before the variable is glued in.  try removing the spaces around the concatenators, and also ensure that you're looking at the correct line.  post the line before and after.

[d22552000]

the funny part is that $p is just 3 letters... but im trying it...

 

*EDIT* same error.

[d22552000]

I am parsing this line ALL BY ITSELF cause it kept giving me shit before.

 

... no spaces

$filename="C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/".$p."/forum/includes/config.php";

result:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING.

We need to see more code. The previous few lines.

[akitchin]

let's see all lines in the script you're running, whether they seem innocuous or not.

 

also, if you're going to be parsing the variable outside of the string assignment anyway, might as well use single quotes (just as a general rule).

[d22552000]

I just told you, because this one line of code was bugging so much, im running it in its very own php file for testing purposes...

 

 

textfile.php

$p=$_GET['p'];
$filename='C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/'.$p.'/forum/includes/config.php';

 

I DID NOT MAKE THE RECURSIVE FOLDER SCRIPT, but I have had it work before.

$n = $_POST['n'];
$p = $_POST['p'];

   mysql_query('CREATE DATABASE ' . $n . ';');
   mysql_select_db($n, $g_link) or die('Could not select database.');

$d = "C:/Inetpub/wwroot/" . $p . "/forum";
$s = "C:/Inetpub/VB3.6.7/forum";

while($file=readdir($dir_handle))

{

i know you're running it in its very own PHP file, but it's still helpful to see the entire thing (even the PHP tags).  try commenting out the $filename assignment line and adding an echo to see if it works otherwise.

[d22552000]

th eoriginal.php code above IS the whole ifle.. and im tryign it...

[d22552000]

New porblem..

 

$somecontent = "$config['Database']['dbname'] = '" . $n . "';$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';";

its not url or whitespace escaped either..?

 

Maybe I hsould explain waht my script does..

 

It installs vBulletin by copying a folder, insterintg the SQL and pointing the config.php file to the new databse.  It has to write the database name into the config fiile, so I chose to output it on the script.

[akitchin]

$somecontent = "$config['Database']['dbname'] = '" . $n . "';$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';";

 

are you saying that line does or doesn't work?

 

also i was referring to the textfile.php, which in your post, is missing its PHP tags and as such cannot be the complete script.

[d22552000]

the line that you quoted, is now the one that doesnt wokr. maybe this might help... syntax highlighting will find open brackets and quotes...

[/code]

[akitchin]

that could be for several reasons.  first of all, PHP expects $config to be an actual variable unless you escape the $ to show that you mean a literal dollar sign:

 

$somecontent = "\$config['Database']['dbname'] = '" . $n . "';\$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';";

 

if that doesn't work, then we're back to the issue we were having with the $filename line, in which case we might as well focus on that file.

 

EDIT: just saw your code - you're going to have troubles after all this trying to run a function that isn't yet defined.

[d22552000]

I forgot to escape all those dollar signs -,- lOL what a stupid mistake.

it passes that part now but...

 

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Registration\vbcreate.php on line 67

 

FIXED

 

but now I have this:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Registration\vbcreate.php on line 72

 

I fided that but....

 

YAY!!!

 

I fixed the million errors thing... now only  3...
