Is there anything wrong with this code?

[anhedonia]

I am having some problems with this PHP code:


<?php
/************************************************************ **************

$$db_servertype = " mysql ";
$$db_host = " localhost ";
$$db_name = " dbname ";
$$db_user = " myusername ";
$$db_password = " mypassword ";

$$table_prefix = " îmages _ ";

define('ÎMAGES_ACTIVE ', 1);

? >

When uploaded onto the server this error appears:


Parse error: parse error, unexpected '?' in /home/hillm/public_html/david/photos/config.php on line 35

I am a total PHP newbie, so I don't know how to fix this. Also, I presumed because I got this code off the support website for the particular thing I am trying to install (4imagesde), it would be correct... No such luck! Thanks in advance. :)

replace "? >" with "?>" and try again :)

Added to say that you will probably need to replace the values for:
$$db_name = " dbname ";
$$db_user = " myusername ";
$$db_password = " mypassword "; with the details your host gave you. Just replace what's in between the " " with the proper name/password.

I tried removing the space so it was "?>", it didn't work. :( Also, I just removed all my server info (db name, username, etc etc) for "security reasons" before posting here.

Thanks for your reply...I don't know why it isn't working. :confused2

try using " instead of ' in
define('ÎMAGES_ACTIVE ', 1);

and try using a IMAGES_ACTIVE over the ÎMAGES_ACTIVE, because of the ^ sign...

don't really know if it is going to work...

:) hope it helps...

go here to the explanation of define function, since that it's where you error line is define function (http://pt.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php)

Well, your comments were done wrong. This should work:

Well thanks for your help guys, but none of what you have said has worked so far. :(

dawizman, I get this error with your code:


Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/hillm/public_html/david/photos/config.php on line 54

oh, my bad, try this:

why make it hard when it could be as simple as could be?

[anhedonia]

Neither of those work. I really have no idea. It looks like it just isn't going to. Thanks for all your help, everybody.

[awayfromforum]

I think the define is the problem.

[anhedonia]

I am unfamiliar with PHP, having only just started using it, so I have little to no idea how to even go about fixing this.

[bloodyveins]

i didn't find something wrong with the codes. would you please add previous and following scripts. due to compilation matter, error signal sent doesn't always refer to the exact location.

[anhedonia]

All the codes I have tried are posted here... The first one that I posted is the code from the official site of the program I am attempting to use; so you would think it would work.
