cheesemunger Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I'm new to PHP and I wanted to convert a website I have made to PHP. It seemed really simple but I got this error, "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in d:\webs\pluspointtaken.com\html\index.php on line 41." I know what the "<" is from, it is the start of an HTML tag. Why is this happening and how can i fix it. The code is attached.

~n[EO]n~ Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 You should close PHP opening tags before the HTML <?php $action = $_GET[action]; if ($action = "about") { // you forgot php closing tag before opening html < ?> I have edited and attached your file... see some examples [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band was formed by Emiel and Neel. They needed a guitarist and that was found in the likes of Jolyon.He was kicked out after a bit. They then found the gifted and talented Jake who not only is a wizard on the guitar but is a great help in writing the songs and also does vocals. Jake and Emiel have made a fantastic partnership in writing all their songs. This backed up by the brilliant drummings of Neel makes an amazing team of youths who i cant possibly see not being famous. Through 2006, they did not have many gigs. They played a few at some schools, and also some radical parties which were mental. At the beginning of 2007 however everything is starting to look a lot brighter. They have just managed to get themselves an agent in the form of Aden Hilmi. He has already started to get involved quickly and the e.p. will be recorded soon and gigs will be coming thick and fast...and oh one thing i forgot to mention is all three of them are only 13, with the potential to be as good as Blink 182, they all have remarkable talent for there age, and there going to make it big! Heres to a happy 2007! Let it be better then 2006.</span><br> </div></th> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <?php } elseif ($action == "audio") { ?> <tr> <td width="24"> </td> <td width="395" valign="top"> <p id="player2"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</p> <script type="text/javascript"> var s2 = new SWFObject("mp3player.swf", "playlist", "240", "135", "7"); s2.addVariable("file","playlist.xml"); s2.addVariable("backcolor","0x00000"); s2.addVariable("frontcolor","0xEECCDD"); s2.addVariable("lightcolor","0x000033"); s2.addVariable("displayheight","0"); s2.addVariable("width","240"); s2.addVariable("height","135"); s2.write("player2"); </script> </p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <?php } elseif ($action == "photo") { ?> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="317" valign="top" background="images/bg_main.gif"><table width="389" height="219" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin-left:39px; margin-top:7px "> <tr> <td height="219" valign="top"><table width="389" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td height="183" valign="top"><div><embed src="http://widget-67.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" width="389" height="250" autostart="false" align="middle" style="width:389px;height:250px" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=lt&il=1&channel=360287970199719783&site=widget-67.slide.com" name="flashticker"></embed> <div style="width:389px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=lt&ad=0&id=360287970199719783&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-67.slide.com/p1/360287970199719783/lt_t040_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=lt&ad=0&id=360287970199719783&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-67.slide.com/p2/360287970199719783/lt_t040_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <?php } elseif ($action == "tour") { ?> <tr> <td height="219" valign="top"><table width="389" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td height="183" valign="top"><table width="398" height="311" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr valign="top"> <td width="397" align="center" valign="middle"><div align="center"><span class="style2">Tour Dates </span></div></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <th> <div align="left"> <p><span class="style7">None at the moment but we hope there will be some soon </span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><br> </p> </div></th> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <?php } ?> </body> </html> There Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
