flOid Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm trying to do a search and replace script in my vBulletin database after I did an import from IPB to clean some things up. here's the code: <?php $link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "###", "###"); mysql_db_query("db", "UPDATE post SET pagetext = REPLACE(pagetext,"<!--QuoteBegin-","[quote]")", $link); mysql_db_query("db", "UPDATE post SET pagetext = REPLACE(pagetext,"</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE","")", $link); mysql_db_query("db", "UPDATE post SET pagetext = REPLACE(pagetext,"UPDATE post SET pagetext = REPLACE(pagetext,"</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>","")", $link); ?> the error I'm getting is "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in searchreplace.php on line 4" What does that mean, and where is the error in my script?

Lumio Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 You have to escape quotes in quotes. "here is a quote \"" So <?php mysql_db_query("db", "UPDATE post SET pagetext = REPLACE(pagetext,\"<!--QuoteBegin-\",\"[quote]\")", $link); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84977-strange-php-error/#findComment-433356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
