kyleldi Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I've got a simple search script set on my page, retreiving information off of my sql databases. For some reason when I limit the data I get an error : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in search.php on line 140 Line 140 is: $limit=10; The actual script code is: <?php // Get the search variable from URL $var = @$_GET['q'] ; $trimmed = trim($var) //trim whitespace from the stored variable // rows to return $limit=10; // check for an empty string and display a message. if ($trimmed == "") { echo "<p>Please enter a search...</p>"; exit; } // check for a search parameter if (!isset($var)) { echo "<p>We dont seem to have a search parameter!</p>"; exit; } //specify database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE ** mysql_select_db($database_quotes, $quotes); // Build SQL Query $query = "select * from ldi where id like \"%$trimmed%\" order by date"; // EDIT HERE and specify your table and field names for the SQL query $numresults=mysql_query($query); $numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults); // If we have no results, offer a google search as an alternative if ($numrows == 0) { echo "<h4>Results</h4>"; echo "<p>Sorry, your search: "" . $trimmed . "" returned zero results</p>"; // google echo "<p><a href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=" . $trimmed . "\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Look up " . $trimmed . " on Google\">Click here</a> to try the search on google</p>"; } // next determine if s has been passed to script, if not use 0 if (empty($s)) { $s=0; } // next determine if s has been passed to script, if not use 0 if (empty($s)) { $s=0; } // get results $query .= " limit $s,$limit"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query"); // display what the person searched for echo "<p>Displaying Search Results For: "" . $var . ""</p>"; // begin to show results set echo "Results"; $count = 1 + $s ; // now you can display the results returned while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $title = $row["date"]; echo "$count.) $title" ; $count++ ; } $currPage = (($s/$limit) + 1); //break before paging echo "<br />"; // next we need to do the links to other results if ($s>=1) { // bypass PREV link if s is 0 $prevs=($s-$limit); print " <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$prevs&q=$var\"><< Prev 10</a>  "; } // calculate number of pages needing links $pages=intval($numrows/$limit); // $pages now contains int of pages needed unless there is a remainder from division if ($numrows%$limit) { // has remainder so add one page $pages++; } // check to see if last page if (!((($s+$limit)/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) { // not last page so give NEXT link $news=$s+$limit; echo " <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$news&q=$var\">Next 10 >></a>"; } $a = $s + ($limit) ; if ($a > $numrows) { $a = $numrows ; } $b = $s + 1 ; echo "<p>Showing results $b to $a of $numrows</p>"; ?> Does anyone have any idea where I went wrong here?

lordfrikk Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Missing semicolon just 3 lines above from $limit=10; Should look like this: <?php // Get the search variable from URL $var = @$_GET['q'] ; $trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable[/cođe] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/97094-unexpected-t_variable-error-in-search-script/#findComment-496824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklink Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just a tip. Always look on the last line of code before the line it tells you for T_VARIABLE areas. It's nearly always a missing semi-colon.
