Parse error

[zoobie]

if ($html != ""){

huh:confused:

[hohoho]

you should use if(!empty($html)) {

or if(!isset($html))
but use this only if you didn't create $html till now

this should work

[zoobie]

Nothing works...

What's really funny is that I've discovered that a lot of scripts available at hotscripts don't even run and are filled with errors. I guess they don't care or they haven't been reported. ROTFLMAO

[hohoho]

hmm...i downloaded many scripts there and all worked...

[hohoho]

could you please post the code lines before and after this part ?
it could be a missing ;

which script is it ? ;)
i want to test it on my server, maybe then i see the mistake

now i tried the following script to test if something is wrong on the if funtion...it worked


$html = "testing this script"; line 1

if($html != ""){ line 3
echo "it works !"; line 4
} line 5

and if you delete the ; in the first line, then you get a parse error on line 3

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF on line 3

Are you talking about PHP?
PERL:

if($html eq "") {
# Some stuff here
}

One correction to the perl equivalent:

if($html neq "") {

You mean ne, not neq. Or you could do !$html eq "".

And that's a PHP error, a Perl one would be more descriptive than that. You're either missing a semicolon on the previous line or a closing quote.

That's right :o

Oh sorry I misread the code... should be

if($html ne "") {
#something here
}

OR

if(!$html eq "") {
#something here
}

Umm...It's php :rolleyes:

The script is here (http://www.hotscripts.com/cgi-bin/dload.cgi?ID=13357).

As it is, it couldn't possibly run. He forgot to comment out some things, too.

Thanks :confused2

That script works fine, I get no error.
