PHP Problem - Page 2

Uchiha-Kun · October 12th, 2005, 6:35 PM

I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CASE in /home/vesutij/public_html/index2.php on line 362

I'm a bit confused. It is okay for me to have news.php a PHP page while my regular ones are HTML documents, right?

Also, I installed the PHP program Cutenews.
If you know what I'm talking about, when you click 'Comments', the page content shows perfectly. Its the only thing on my website that is showing right now....

There is no default set. You need to set a default when you use case I believe. I could be wrong. I've just been using Haugland's code as examples for my own work.

I have no idea what's on that line, so could you maybe paste that here? I just put both code examples into a file, it appears that you might have missed the "switch ($_GET[page) {" line...

You're not required to have a default value in there, but it sure beats the hell out of random errors when there's an incorrect or no value.

I've never used Cutenews before, so unfortunately I can only picture what you're refering too.

Ah, I always thought it was supposed to be there. Eh, I'll be keeping one though, just in case.

errr...default? Do you mean the layout I want to load or the content on the first page?

Well, what exactly is around that area is:

PHP Code:


			
<p><br>

<div style="position: absolute; left: 150px; top: 325px; z-index: 2; overflow: visible; width: 620px;">

<!---------------START CONTENTS------------------>

<?php 



case "news": 

include("news.php"); 

break; 



?> 

<!----------------END CONTENTS------------------->

</div>

Yeah, you're missing exactly what I thought you were. You need to have the switch stuff in there too.

PHP Code:


			
<p><br>

<div style="position: absolute; left: 150px; top: 325px; z-index: 2; overflow: visible; width: 620px;">

<!---------------START CONTENTS------------------>

<?php 

switch ($_GET['page']) {

   case "news": 

      include("news.php"); 

   break; 



   case "somethingelse": 

      include("somethingelse.php"); 

   break; 



   default:

      include("news.php");

   break;

}



?> 

<!----------------END CONTENTS------------------->

</div>

That should work. The "default:" is used when the switch doesn't match any of the other cases.

There is no parse error now but my problem goes back to the beginning; other pages are working [when I click on something else 'index2.php?page=faq' for example it shows the same thing as the news.php page]

You have to modify the case logic to suit your own needs. Use the example as just that; an example or template. Do not just copy and paste.
