A Parse error that shouldnt be

Lo all,

Ive been getting the error message
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/moneill/public_html/input.html on line 248

so ive checked me code over and over again but cant find whats wrong. So getting a annoyed I commented it to move on to next error but the same error message comes up. And when i remove the code completely the error message remains on line 248 but obviously on diff code.

The code is of a program of about 850 lines with about 20 functions in it. The hand in date is very soon so cant afford to change it in a major way.

Has any1 any ideas on this?

It would have been nice to point out which is row 248.
The syntax looks OK, but echo out the variables to see what is in them.
I suspect you have a string in one of the globals.
By the way there are a lot poor habits in this short piece of code.
In fact looking again the problem may be here
[PHP]$actualValues[$i]= $Hours[$i] * $Wage[$i];
$theValue += $actualValues; [/PHP]
$actualValues can't be a variable and an array

is my programming really that bad?

You are probably right with the array / variable thing but even when i comment it out or remove it completely it still says there is the same error. In the case of comments it points to the line within the comment. In the case of removing it, the error is still on line 248 only there is different code there. Could it be the way in which i have variables = signs lining up together could cause too much white space in the program?

You say that section of code you posted was commented out, yet you still got the error. That tells me 1 thing: the error isn't in that piece of code you posted.

The error being reported indicates a simple syntax error.
If you comment out line 248 and still get the error being reported there then the problem is on a line prior to that and could be down to a missing brace '}'

I thought that too but there i have kept the }'s all in line...

BTW I did a bit extra work (take out some white spaces) before i left today so the program lines have changed a bit.

Sorry for late reply. But away at weekend
I dumped your code in a debugger which reported this syntax error.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 Fatal error: Function name must be a string in .............

 ...........php on line 66

You have used round brackets instead of square[PHP]66. $SubDate=$_POST('SubDate[]'); [/PHP]
same here [PHP]$PlantDate =$_POST('PlantDate[]');
$Plant =$_POST('Plant[]');
$PlantType =$_POST('PlantType[]');
$PlantCharge=$_POST('PlantCharge[]');
$PlantDays =$_POST('PlantDays[]');[/PHP] So the form data is not being read as expected.
This would have been obvious if you had paid heed of my first post
and echoed out variables.
Also you cannot have error_reporting switched on because these would be reported.
Please read the posting rules

Thanks for the help... but can i ask you how you were able to debug the php without actually having any of the other content, I did not know any software existed as the way i have been debugging is by going to the server using explorer and following it through which only gives one error an line number. It doesnt give that good of a description.

Another point you made was about error_reporting(E_ALL);

If i include this at the top of the code will this produce a list of errors that will be output from the server instead of a vague description? It is the first I have heard that php had this function.

Thanks for the help btw!

If you have a good IDE, like PHPDesigner, it will have a built in debugger that you can run on your code.

Yes. I use phpdesigner but I often prefer the method you describe

using explorer and following it through which only gives one error an line number. It doesnt give that good of a description.

It only reports one fatal error, if there is not too many they can be fixed one at a time.

Another point you made was about error_reporting(E_ALL);
If i include this at the top of the code will this produce a list of errors
that will be output from the server instead of a vague description

With experience you will learn what the 'vague' descriptions mean
and that the line is where an error occured but not neccesarily the error itself.

E_ALL lists non-fatal errors
These often point to fundamental errors that may or may not lead to a fatal.
I do not allow any of these to pass and use them as a guide to where I need my error traps and tighten up my code.
I always use the following [PHP]error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors ',1);[/PHP] Can't remember what they all do but give it a try.

hey guys sorry for the long wait for me to test it i only got to the server comp today. The error remains in the code in the same place...(line 250)

I have traced through the program and have not been able to rectify the problem... I have even taken out validation, isextended and compensation function calls at the bottom of the code but the same error remains.

I am using a companies server, could it be possible that there is permission issues with downloading info from the server but uploading is ok as i can upload from html / php onto sql but when i try and populate a select statement using php it comes up with nothing... I am hoping this might have some thing to do with it?

If it doesnt and i am sounding really stupid does any1 no what else the error mite be....

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/moneill/public_html/input.html on line 250

I have used phpdesigner and so there r no syntax errors...

BTW i dont seem to be able to access .ini for error recovery...

Heya, Micky.

What is the code on line 250?

Oct 9 '08 #14

micky125

lo pbmods,

If you go to the 5th or 6th post i displayed the code that im using. TBH i have tried a lot of things to even by pass the error but it doesnt seem to work and i cant figure it out at all. I did notice last night that a variable in the global ... was not a initialised, r even used, in the program but I dont think this would have caused the error as it would have left it. The value of projectValues was not called global in compensation(relating to the other global) but this would have kept it to a local variable so i dont think it that. I hope you can make more sense from it than i can...

mick.

sorry guys i found what the problem was and i feel like a rite plonker...

I have been frustrated with this software so i decided to begin from scratch and add sections of code at a time when i noticed that the error was still on 166 and i only had 60. I checked the error again and low and behold the error says input.html not the mainphp.php.

I was a day away from smashing the computer but ill take her back now :D
