[SOLVED] Help! I've Made A Dumb Mistake But I Don't Know How!

[lotrfan]

This is very confusing to me.  Many things in programming are  , but I know that this is something really dumb that I will kick myself for later.

 

This script parses fine, but the 'if' statement (which, with the given values, is the only part of the code that should execute) starting after my comment,  ("//Why does the number of...etc") does not function correctly, even though everything parses correctly...

 

Help! I've made a dumb mistake and I don't know why!

I know this code is MASSIVE, so don't feel obligated to do my proofreading for me .  I may electronically hug anyone who can at least lead me in the right direction, though...I spent 9 hours today trying to fix...

 

Thanks in Advance!

as a note: if your using a find to count the { compared to }

please remember that you have a } commented out

[lotrfan]

No, I was just counting it manually. I tried to see if each { had a }. 

Did you find an incomplete pair {}?  Because unless you fixed a bracket, just tabbing differently wouldn't change the outcome.

 

if the // comment bars are to the right of the code, they don't cancel or comment out the code, do they? You might have to explain what you mean...

 

Thanks for your help, I'm a real newbie at PHP.

[monkeybidz]

What does: show_me_the_money($side, $angle); represent? No $

[MadTechie]

if you do a find for "{" your find your find 65 of them

if you do a find for "}" your find your find 66 of them

So it would seam that theirs an extra } but you need to take into account this line

//Side note: when I remove this line (just the '}') I get an "$end" error

so theirs infact 65 of both.. so you probably miss-counted,

 

either that or i fixed the problem without noticing!!, i am refering to my post

 

hope that makes sence..

[lotrfan]

Thanks for keeping up with my post everybody.

 

@monkeybidz: show_me_the_money($side, $angle); is just a function that I didn't include because all it does is echo my variables (I'm just passing two arrays into the function).

 

------------------------

 

Well, when I run the code, the page goes blank whenever I enter values that would be used by the code under my comment ( //Line that should be working...).  I don't get a parse error, but it doesn't do anything, either.  ???  What kind of situation could be causing that?

 

The rest of the time, the rest of the code functions fine.

 

 

P.S. How do you "do a find" for {}?

 

 

[MadTechie]

your comment refers to the line below

 

/// Why does the number of curly brackets not match up correctly -- yet still parses!!!		
//Line below is part that should be functioning, but isn't...

EDIT: as a side note, i ran this direct so no REQUEST's we're set

[lotrfan]

Well, you are right, this code works fine, but when I put the function into the rest of my script, it parses but doesn't do any work.

 

I have no idea what is wrong. What situation would make only a certain part of a function's code work but not others?

 

???

 

Thanks again

[MadTechie]

the logic (mainly the if statements)

if you can find values that work and values that do not work.. then you can workout the problem..

currently we need more info, to workout the problem, i suggest looking closely at the input..

[lotrfan]

Whew!  I got it!

 

I finally realized that we were both right.  There were the correct amount of total brackets {}, but not necessarily the right amount for each logic statement!

 

There was one less } on one if statement, and one more } on a following statement, therefore allowing it parse -- but not to function at all.

 

I can't believe we missed it, but here it is:

Thanks for the help though, MadTechie, you still helped to lead me in the right direction.  Once you said that the brace number was right -- combined with my observation that the statement didn't have enough -- planted the idea in my head.

 

Thanks all!

 

***By the way, MadTechie, how did you find the exact number of brackets? Count them out by hand?

LOL, thats sounds too much like work to me, i copied the code in Dreamweaver, then done a find all on {, in the list i reviewed the line, (to check if any were commented out) this also gave me the total number, i then did the same for the }

[lotrfan]

OH...ROFL!!!

 

To think I actually used tally marks on paper (gasp) to count them out!

I feel kind of silly.  I think I'll just use Dreamweaver from now on....

[MadTechie]

you can use any, i just had that installed on this machine, their are better but i got used to this 

another good one for 90% of text editing is Notepad++ (google it)
