Little php code - error

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with the following little php code [0]. The output
from the server is : "
* Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in file.php on line 27 *

Let's assume that file.php is the file that is giving me some troubles.

The structure is pretty easy to understand, however I'm not able to
solve this. Could you tell me why I'm not able to run this code.

I'm running PHP5, Apache2, and Ubuntu 9.10 with sqlite, as you could see.

Thanks a lot,
Juan

Its your if's, elseif's, else's. You have "and", change that to &&.

Sorry, I gave you bad information...

Its the else line. else doesn't take a condition after it. it should just
be "else {".

Your else has a condition on it

} else (empty($b) and empty($c)) {

Should be

} else {

BTW, the "and" is fine.

Unless he actually wants to do something with that condition, in which
case it should be an elseif.

The easiest way to spot these sorts of problems is by indenting the code
so that the opening brace matches up with the closing one:

function
{
if(condition)
{
statement
}
else
{
foreach(var as var2)
{
more statements
}
}
}

Yes, it takes up a lot more lines, but a few line break characters
aren't going to impact on the size of the file, and all the while it's
very easy to read. If you've accidentally missed out a closing brace
you'll spot it immediately.

It's called the Allman style and has another advantage. Consider:

if(condition)
{
statement
}

You can comment out the if statement and the braces won't cause an
error:

//if(condition)
{
statement
}

Whereas doing the same with the BSD KNF style that many favour you would
hit a problem of mismatched braces:

//if(condition){
statement
}

Blaspheme is a little strong :p

In the OP's case, his error was syntax (a condition after an else
clause). But I don't know that even a syntax-highlighting editor would
have caught his error.

The syntax highlighters that I use didn't recognize it as a problem. They
styled it right up...
