Why is this block wrong?

enigmafyv · 03-20-2004, 11:20 AM

Can someone tell me what's wrong with my script? I'm really new (newbie, noob, whatever) to php and I was trying to make my own block. So I thought I would try and use help from PHPNukeFiles.com and input my code into the 'html to php' tool and it gave me something a little different than what's posted below, but I made some modifications because that didn't work, so now I'm trying what's posted below. Can someone pls help?

$content .= "<head>";
$content .= "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">";
$content .="<title></title>";

$content .="<body>";

$content .="</html>";

if(!eregi("block-norton.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])){
header("Location: index.php");
}

By the way, when I preview my html script in it's own page, it displays properly, so I know I have something setup wrong with the PHP script.

chang every " that is indie the html tags to \"

so like
.="<script src="http

would be

.="<script src=\"http

dont change the .= " or the "; ones.. just the ones that are inside < >

So even in the meta tag I change everything that's in the <> into \"?

And also at the end of each line, I don't make them nested do I?

(i.e. <\"content"\> Or does it got <\"content\">?)

well heres the logic

" opens up a string.. you want it to actually display the " you put \" because " would close the string. \" basically says.. dont close the string, but add this in.

OK, here's the changes I've made to the script (in red). According to what you've told me, this should work. But unfortunately it's not.

I'm getting this error on my page:
Parse error: parse error in /homepages/12/d123456789/htdocs/nuke/blocks/block-norton.php on line 12

Now does this acutally mean line 12 of the php file? If so I've denoted which line line 12 is by highlighting it in green. Unless it means the 12th line of code which would be colored in teal.

I think that's your problem

.= means append, but the variable has to be set before you can append to it.

So change the first line with $content to
[code:1:ee69d56483] $content ="<html>";[/code:1:ee69d56483]
(take the dot out)
