Help! Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

Dealideal · #1 (**permalink**) 02-10-10, 08:15 AM

Hello, and ughhhhh... here's the error:

Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in ***** on line 330

I'm guessing - something is messed up with the nested single/double quotes.

Here's the function:

Code:


function some_function ($count=10, $exclude='user1,user2', $before='<li>', $nourl='www.boo.com', $after='</li>', $before_count='(', $after_count=')') {
global $wpdb, $posts;

    $posts=$wpdb->get_results("SELECT u.*, p.*
                                           , COUNT(*)AS CRNT
                                      FROM $wpdb->posts p LEFT JOIN $wpdb->users u
                                      ON u.ID = p.post_author
                                      WHERE p.post_status = 'publish'
                                      GROUP BY post_author
                                      ORDER BY CRNT DESC");
    $excludes=explode(',', $exclude);
    $style1='margin-bottom:10px';
    $style='width:200px; height:80px; clear:both; border-width:3px 3px 0 3px; border-color:#41525D; border-style: solid';
    $style2='float:right; width:70%; text-align:right; font-size:9px;color:#fff;';
    $style3='width:30%; float:left; font-size:9px; color:#fff;';
    $style4='width:190px; background:#41525D; height:15px; padding:5px; border:3px solid #41525D;';
    $authlink='http://www.skineart.com/art/author/';
    $infolink='http://www.skineart.com/topcontributors';
    $contributors='http://www.skineart.com/contributors';
    $blank='_blank';
    $follow='follow';
 	   
    foreach($posts as $post) {

    if (!in_array($post->display_name, $excludes)) {
    if (check_not_null($post->user_url) && $post->user_url != 'http://' && check_not_null($post->user_avatar)){
		$urle=$post->user_url; 
		echo "<a href='" .$urle. "' rel='".$follow."' target='".$blank."' title='" .$urle. "'><img src='" .$post->user_avatar. "' alt='" .$urle. "' /></a><a href='".$authlink.$post->user_nicename."'>$post->CRNT [+]</a>$post->display_name.$after;
		} else {
		$urle=$authlink.$post->post_author;
		echo "<div style='".$style1."'><div style='".$style4."'><div style='".$style3."'><a href='".$authlink.$post->user_nicename."'>$post->CRNT [+]</a></div><div style='".$style2."'>$post->display_name</div></div></div>".$after;
		} 			     
		if (++$ccount == $count) break;
           
       } 
    }
    echo "<a href='" .$infolink. "'>What's this?</a>";
    echo "<br/><br/>";
    echo "<a href='" .$contributors. "'>View full list of contributors</a>";
}

... and here's the line causing the error:

Code:

		echo "<div style='".$style1."'><div style='".$style4."'><div style='".$style3."'><a href='".$authlink.$post->user_nicename."'>$post->CRNT [+]</a></div><div style='".$style2."'>$post->display_name</div></div></div>".$after;

Please help!

Your error is in this line:

PHP Code:


			
echo "<a href='" .$urle. "' rel='".$follow."' target='".$blank."' title='" .$urle. "'><img src='" .$post->user_avatar. "' alt='" .$urle. "' /></a><a href='".$authlink.$post->user_nicename."'>$post->CRNT [+]</a>$post->display_name.$after;

Should be:

PHP Code:


			
echo "<a href='" .$urle. "' rel='".$follow."' target='".$blank."' title='" .$urle. "'><img src='" .$post->user_avatar. "' alt='" .$urle. "' /></a><a href='".$authlink.$post->user_nicename."'>".$post->CRNT." [+]</a>".$post->display_name.$after;

Or:

PHP Code:


			
echo "<a href='$urle' rel='$follow' target='$blank' title='$urle'><img src='".$post->user_avatar."' alt='$urle' /></a><a href='".$authlink.$post->user_nicename."'>".$post->CRNT." [+]</a>".$post->display_name.$after;
