<td bgcolor=\"899CB8\" class=\"size12vdarkblue\"

error message :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '\"' in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\admin\pasta\nfl\draigh\update_ scripts.php on line 151


i know this is the coding that is wrong

could someone tell me what's wrong?

Should be:
echo('<td bgcolor="#899CB8" class="size12vdarkblue" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor=\'#6981A5\ ';" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor=\'#899CB8\' ;">');

I think that is the best way.
-dk

i have it so that it is a variable

************
$updatingcode = '<td bgcolor="#899CB8" class="size12vdarkblue" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor=\'#6981A5\ ';" onMouseOut="this.style.

backgroundColor=\'#899CB8\';">

<a href=\"scripts/$pagelink\" class=\"size12vdarkblue\">$name</a></td>
</tr> ';

************
because i want to write this to a text file which is read on another page. this creates a new row
************
does this help??? because it still doesn't work...

Hi Digital,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't think that you are supposed to store HTML code within variables- at least it's not something that I have worked with.

soo... what do i do?

and what's wrong with it? is it written down somewhere not to do this??? huh! huh! i've got a careful script planned out and i don't need some "Nutty Moderator" coming and telling me what to do!

hehe j/k

i just want to add a row to a table in this .txt file and i thought it might be easier storing it as a variable and then

fwrite($updatesfile, "$updatingcode");

what is wrong?

You're escaping double-quotes in the <a href... line but not in the previous lines. Keep it consistent.

I ran this quick snippet on my local server and it prints without errors.


$pagelink = "bob";
$name = "vader";

$updatingcode = '<td bgcolor="#899CB8" class="size12vdarkblue" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor=\\'#6981A5 \\';" onMouseOut="this.style.

backgroundColor=\\'#899CB8\\';">

<a href="scripts/' . $pagelink . '" class="size12vdarkblue">' . $name . '</a></td>
</tr> ';

echo $updatingcode;


Try it out, and if you still get an error, then post up the rest of your code too.

If you set the piece of code as variable, so \" is right. But if you set it as html code, just use " . like this:

php code:
<?
$aaa = "<td onMouseMove=\"this.style.background=#ffff\"> something </td>"
?>

html code:
<td onMouseMove="this.style.background=#ffff"> something </td>

<?
include 'header.php';
include '.../.../.../.../.../awoemxcjfdyueycndueuejdlasfweoiociuoawenlskkcucose enselicusoien.txt';
echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\".../.../.../.../font.css\" type=\"text/css\">";
?>
<?
$filename = ".../.../.../.../.../scripts.txt";

$whattoread = @fopen($filename, "r") or die("There has been an error processing our contact script, please email the administrator

fclose($whattoread);

*********************
this is the whole coding, it ads to a file name depending on the count. what's wrong with it?
*********************

Scanned the code briefly. Would I be wrong to think that

$updatesfilename = "../../../../../update"."$count".".txt";

should be

$updatesfilename = "../../../../../update" . $counter . ".txt";

?
