At the moment I have this script

PHP Code:


			
    if (isset ($type == flash)) {
    include ("Scripts/flashembed.php")}
    elseif ($type == html) {
    include ("Scripts/htmlembed.php")}
    else {echo($errmsg)}

At the moment it is coming up with:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in /home/www/xuroqtest.freehostia.com/preview.php on line 23

I have attached the whole file if it is needed:
php problem.zip

because, if "flash" and "html" are not constants, PHP don't know what they are.
Strings are always delimited by " or '

PHP Code:


			
if (isset ($type == 'flash')) {
    include ("Scripts/flashembed.php")}
elseif ($type == 'html') {
    include ("Scripts/htmlembed.php")}
else {echo($errmsg)}

</span></span>

i am still getting the same error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in /home/www/xuroqtest.freehostia.com/preview.php on line 23

**chrishirst** · 12-06-2008, 06:26 AM

looking at the code above (and the missing semi-colons ";").

I'd suggest a missing semi-colon in the previous line.

**tripy** · 12-06-2008, 06:38 AM

Oh, right.
I didn't even noticed that the echo was missing the ;.

And effectively, the message don't say there is a problem in the if, but that there was something else expected before the if.

I only know very basic PHP so it may be something obvious

**TwistMyArm** · 12-06-2008, 11:24 AM

Or possible even a problem in the included "Scripts/header.php" file?

**Insensus** · 12-06-2008, 12:28 PM

This should be working.
I've found somewhat 10 possible errors regarding semicolons.

Is your favicon showing up?

HTML Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="pictures/favicon1ico" />
to
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="pictures/favicon1.ico" />
