I have searched around to try to solve this before turning to you guys, but thanks in advance for any advice you can give. I have faith in the Asylum.

I don't know if this is the problem, but I ran into somthing like this once when using a PHP <<<HERE once. I found that the parser didn't like the HERE to be indented in certain ways.

I was just thinking it could be the same problem with one of your <<< somewhere along the line.

Perhaps, but I have run through it a number of times and I couldn't see anything wrong with my heredoc syntax.

first herodoc: you've a space behind the <<<EOT. That causes the 'unexpected T_SL'.

second error in line 165: For some funny reason the Heredoc marker has to be three characters long. Like EOT. Not like FOOT.

line 190: You've a ) misplaced.

so long,

Thanks for the help, Prime, but after trying those solutions (and not getting anywhere), I discovered there was a tab after "EOD." I removed it and the whole thing was fixed.

However, I have a new problem. I have information stored on the webserver below the public directory, and I try to access it using fopen. However, it tells me it is not a valid string resource.


Warning: fopen(/bw/ps.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I haven't changed the function from the files up there. Do you see anything wrong with them, if the filenames are correct?

[Edit- Nevermind, I am dumb about file heirarchy.]

you need quotes around strings.

if($secure) && isset($_GET['userName'])
$this->securityMessage = 'You are logged in as <em>' . $_GET['userName'] . '</em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="/common/security.php?logout=1">logout</a>';
else
$this->securityMessage = '<span><a href="/admin/index.php">log in</a></span>';


amm ... you have to put { } around sentences

Actually you don't as long as your if/else statements are only one line.

That being said I learned long ago to just always use the brackets, for code readability.

Yeah, I added those in. That was an old bit of code that I reused. After fixing those errors I went through and cleaned up my code. Also, that was the error report - it removes quotes from those for some reason.
