leest Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi, I have a link on my website that calls a download script and downloads an image in to my webpage. This works perfectly in php 4. I am currently converting my site from php4 to php 5 to allow me to use another hosting company and i am having trouble with passing information in the link to the downloads page. If i use this script un changed it doesn't display any errors just stops displaying the page at the point of the script. the script is: <img src="http://www.websitename/image_manager/download.php?id= [code=php:0]=$site_id [/code] the problem occurs when i try to change from the short method of writting the php tag to the normal version, with the short version the = sign changes to read along with the php tag and on the longer version it doesn't when the script is then run it displays the following error: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /public_html/search/search_results.php on line 428" if i remove the equals sign then it displays the page correctly but does not download the image. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85186-solved-php-4-to-php-5-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

leest Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 <img src="http://www.harrier-recruitment.com/image_manager/download.php?id==$site_id OK this code works fine in php4 and returns an image from a mysql database by passing the site_id to a download script through this link. However in php 5 it doesn't work. In the script i have used the short tag for php ie, just the less than and a question mark, when i add php to the tag, it stops the code from working.
