syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE on line 12

 

<?php

 

include("config.php");

 

if(isset($_GET['id']) == TRUE) {
  if(is_numeric($_GET['id']) == FALSE) {
    header("Location: " . $config_basedir);
   }
   $validforum = $_GET['id'];
   }
   else {
     header("Location:" $config_basedir);
  }
  require("header.php");

It be great if we knew which line was line 12 (considering you showed us 10 lines that seems to be impossible!!!)

I give up. You quote 10 lines of code and an error message for line 12.

 

Best guess. config.php might have an error.

oops 

 

<?php

 

include("config.php");

 

if(isset($_GET['id']) == TRUE) {

  if(is_numeric($_GET['id']) == FALSE) {

    header("Location: " . $config_basedir);

  }

  $validforum = $_GET['id'];

  }

  else {

    header("Location:" $config_basedir);

  }

  require("header.php");

 

it is the line: header("location: " $config_basedir);

Should be...

 

<?php

include("config.php");

if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
  if (!is_numeric($_GET['id'])) {
    header("Location: " . $config_basedir);
  }
  $validforum = $_GET['id'];
} else {
  header("Location:" . $config_basedir);
}
require("header.php");

?>

I added in that period previously, though I got a 404 not found message (and still do).

If thats the case then your base directory probably doesn't hold the correct value.

 

What happens when you echo $config_basedir?

[gaugeboson]

I get a blank page.

[haku]

Then you need to set a value for $config_basedir somewhere. Right now its empty.

[gaugeboson]

I do have a value there: http://127.0.0.1/sites/forums/

 

When I input the period as you recommended I get the 404 error, and it links to that url.  Whereas the code was written for viewforum, which should come up through localhost/viewforum.php

[haku]

What is the value contained in $config_basedir

 

The period is required. There is no way around it.

[gaugeboson]

$config_basedir = "http://127.0.0.1/sites/forums/";

[haku]

There is your problem - that page doesn't exist.
