Parse Error

[goatchaps]

Hi-

I'm having a problem with a script. I get the following parse error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']'

Here is the line of code:

$ownerName = $folders[$foldersSize-1];\n
 

Here is some of the code around it:

$html = "<?php \n
                        \n
                        include 'memberspace.php';\n
                        include 'UploadProgressMeter.class.php';\n
                        \$fileWidget = new UploadProgressMeter();\n
 
                        $currentDir = getcwd();\n
 
                         $folders = explode( \"/\", $currentDir );\n
 
                        $foldersSize = sizeof($folders);\n
 
                           $ownerName = $folders[$foldersSize-1];\n
 
                        $ownerName = ucwords($ownerName);\n
 
                        $st = $ownerName;\n
                        $len = strlen($st);\n
                        if ($st[$len-1] == \"s\") { \n
                                $ownerName = $ownerName.'\'';\n 
                            }\n
                            else { \n
                                $ownerName = $ownerName.'\'s';\n
                            }\n

Please help!

Thanks.

The code works fine in a regular page, but the problem I have here is that php is building a different page here and it's not working.

Hi goatchaps. Welcome to The Scripts!

If the \n at the end of the line is a part of the code, try removing it.

If it is not, please post the lines directly above it. They might be the cause of the problem.

 $html = "<?php 
 
                        include 'memberspace.php';
                        include 'UploadProgressMeter.class.php';
                        $fileWidget = new UploadProgressMeter();
 
                $currentDir = getcwd();
 
                     $folders = explode( \"/\", $currentDir );
 
                        $foldersSize = sizeof($folders);
 
                       $ownerName = $folders[$foldersSize-1]; // line with error
 
                $ownerName = ucwords($ownerName);
 
                        $st = $ownerName;
                        $len = strlen($st);
                        if ($st[$len-1] == \"s\") { 
                                $ownerName = $ownerName.'\'';
                            }
                            else { 
                                $ownerName = $ownerName.'\'s';
                            }

Forgot to say in the last post that I got the same error and the code above is the current code.

[goatchaps]

These are the lines above it:

 
 //
    // Generate a new member space for a user
    //
     function generateMemberSpaceHome()
    {
        if( $this->hasMemberSpace )
        {
            $html = "<?php 
 
                        include 'memberspace.php';
                        include 'UploadProgressMeter.class.php';
                        $fileWidget = new UploadProgressMeter();

Ahh ok now I see.

You are trying to get the element at index number ($folderSize -1) from the $folders array, from within the string?

The code you are using there can not be put directly inside a string. It will work outside it but not within it.

Try removing it from the string:

$html ".......". $folders[$folderSize -1] ." .....";

It looks like it worked, still need to do some testing, but I get no errors. I had to concatenate the $st[$len-1] also.

Thanks a bunch!

new code:

 
 
$ownerName = ". $folders[$foldersSize-1] .";
 
$ownerName = ucwords($ownerName);
 
$st = $ownerName;
 
$len = strlen($st);
 
    if (". $st[$len-1] ." == \"s\") { 
        $ownerName = $ownerName.'\''; 
    }
