[SOLVED] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

[eaglelegend]

Hello, im trying to change my PHP code to be validated, with help of the W3C validator, I have now got a parse error as reads below...

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /misc/39/000/171/334/2/user/web/eaglelegend.com/index.php on line 42

 

here is the code...

 

<?
include("header.php");
?>
<h1>PLEASE NOTE</h1>

<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>

  <?
  
     $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `pets` ORDER BY `id` DESC");
     while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
      	extract($row);
      	$x=$x+1;
      	
      			if($status <= 3) {
			 	$s = "Very Unhappy";
			}
			if($status >= 3 && $status < 6) {
			 	$s = "Unhappy";
			}
			if($status >= 6 && $status < 9) {
			 	$s = "Bored";
			}
			if($status >= 9 && $status < 12) {
			 	$s = "Happy";
			}
			if($status >= 12 && $status < 15) {
			 	$s = "Very Happy";
			}
			if($status >= 15) {
			 	$s = "Very Happy and Playful!";
			}
	  
 	print "<td width='33%' valign='top'>
 	<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width=100%>
 	 <Tr>
 	  <Td valign=middle align=center><img src='/images/pets/$species.png' alt="$petName"></td>
 	  <td valign=top class=other width=100%>$user adopted a $species<br>
	   Name: $petName<br>Status: $s<br>Born: $date<br>Points: $points</td>
 	 </tr>
 	</table>
 	</td>";

	if($x%2==0) {
	 	print "</tr><Tr>";
	} 

    }
    
    print "</table>";
     ?>
<?
include("footer.php");
?>

 

The website is avalible on my "profile" also here www.eaglelegend.com or if you would like to take your time and copy

www.eaglelegend.com

and paste it in your address bar!

 

I have now solved that BUT it now I guess, "duplicates" it if you look at the site, I changed this code:

<Td valign=middle align=center><img src='/images/pets/$species.png' alt="$petName"></td>

 

to:

 

<Td valign=middle align=center><img src='/images/pets/$species.png' alt='$petName'></td>

 

any ideas?

Change

 

<?php

 	print "<td width='33%' valign='top'>
 	<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width=100%>
 	 <Tr>
 	  <Td valign=middle align=center><img src='/images/pets/$species.png' alt="$petName"></td>
 	  <td valign=top class=other width=100%>$user adopted a $species<br>
	   Name: $petName<br>Status: $s<br>Born: $date<br>Points: $points</td>
 	 </tr>
 	</table>
 	</td>";

 

To

<?php

 	print "<td width='33%' valign='top'>
 	<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width=100%>
 	 <Tr>
 	  <Td valign=middle align=center><img src='/images/pets/$species.png' alt=\"$petName\"></td>
 	  <td valign=top class=other width=100%>$user adopted a $species<br>
	   Name: $petName<br>Status: $s<br>Born: $date<br>Points: $points</td>
 	 </tr>
 	</table>
 	</td>";

 

You can't have double quotes within double quotes without escaping them.

change

<Td valign=middle align=center><img src='/images/pets/$species.png' alt="$petName"></td>

to

<Td valign=middle align=center><img src='/images/pets/$species.png' alt=\"$petName\"></td>

EDIT:Ahh pocobueno1388  beat me

[eaglelegend]

thanks guys, but the new problem is that it sort of "duplicated" inside the code if you know what I mean, best to look at my site to see what I mean...

[pocobueno1388]

You probably include the header.php file at the top of every page. So when you include another file within a script, it's calling that include again. Check and make sure thats not what's happening.

Ok, I think I might know, its just im trying to have the site validated with HTML/XHTML site BUT it says certain "stuff" has to go infront :?

 

EDIT: SORRY, thanks guys, I found out why, I didnt delete the old code from the page, you see I copied the "repaired code" and pasted it, and didnt delete the old code before saving it then uploading it! thanks all!
