and the error is

Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in /home/www/dancha42.madpage.com/construction.php on line 7

if thes dont show up as quotes could a mod fix it please.



this is for a text based game so it may seem different. But it shouldnt matter since the parse error shouldnt interfer with it.

What you have currently:

if ($stat[construction] <= 1)
{
print 'Would you like to start the building';
echo "<a href="construction.php?action=construct">construct</a> ";
)

And what you might need to change is the last end parenthesis to a right-curly brace. Like this:

if ($stat[construction] <= 1)
{
print 'Would you like to start the building';
echo "<a href="construction.php?action=construct">construct</a> ";
}

[Tyssen]

This line:

echo "<a href="construction.php?action=construct">construct</a>";

should be:

echo '<a href="construction.php?action=construct">construct</a>';

or:

echo "<a href=\"construction.php?action=construct\">construct</a>";

PHP is going to execute anything within the " " or ' ' so in your case, it gets to the " after the href and then stops.

now i get this
Parse error: parse error in /home/www/dancha42.madpage.com/construction.php on line 20

i hate parse errors. im gonna try and figure it out myself but if you what to fix your suggestions are welcomed

[jlhaslip]

you have :

if ($stat[constructed] => 2) 

try:

if ($stat[constructed] >= 2)

doesnt fix the parse error but that is becuase it isnt on line 20 so you might have fixed a later parse error but i still need some help with the line 20 one

[jlhaslip]

It might not like the whitespace and carriage return here:

if ($action == construct)
{
print "you have 

Try this for the If statements:

if ($action == construct) {
print "you have 

[truefusion]

On line 2, the <br> tag doesnt work like that.

And for this:

Quote

if ($stat[construction] <= 1)
{
print 'Would you like to start the building';
echo "<a href=\"construction.php?action=construct\">construct</a> ";
)

I think the thing in bold is the problem. May want to change it to: }

ill try this out ty

i thought spaces dont matter in php
yeah i was right spaces dont matter cause i still get

Parse error: parse error in /home/www/dancha42.madpage.com/construction.php on line 19 (was 20 but then the space made it drop down one)


the error is around here

mysql_query("Update players Set silver wood = $stat[silverwood]-10000 where stat[id] ");
mysql_query("Update players Set construction = stat[construction]+1 where stat[id] ");
print "</table><br>";
print "Or you can always... <a href=city.php>go back</a>.";
}
}
if ($stat[constructed] >= 2)

but i dont see what is wrong (match this up with the code but it is around this area more specifically print "</table<br>"

Sometimes an editor will plant invisible things in there. I happen to have an Editor which shows the carriage returns and tabs, etc so I thought maybe there was something out of place perhaps.

You have changed the code a little bit to fix some previous errors. Would you mind re-posting the code and please identify the error line for us. PHP is funny about parse errors. It identifies a line by number where it senses the error, but it might be several lines back that the actual cause exists.
