T_encapsed_and_whitespace?

I'm just new and lost.... I can't find my problem

[jenidralph]

I am very new at this and I am receiving the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/ftphome/tzer.org/components/com_comprofiler/comprofiler.html.php on line 485

This is line 485 (it is long)... any help would be greatly appreciated.

echo "\n\t</td></tr></table><table><tr><td><img src=".$bimage."></td></tr><tr valign=\"bottom\" width=100%><td valign=\"bottom\"><?php if($my->id==$user->id && $ueConfig['allowBpic']==1 && ($ueConfig['allowBpicUpload']==1 ¦¦ $ueConfig['allowAvatarGallery']==1)) { echo "<a href=".sefRelToAbs($ue_userbpic_url)."><img src='".$adminimagesdir."updateprofile.gif' border=0 /> "._UE_UPDATEBPIC."</a>";?></td><td valign=\"bottom\"><?php if($user->bpic!='' && $user->bpic!=null) echo "<a href='".sefRelToAbs("index.php?option=com_comprofiler&Itemid=".$Itemid."&task=userBpic&do=deletebpic")."'>"._UE_DELETE_BPIC."</a>"; }?></td></tr></table>";

Hi jenidralph, welcome to Webmaster World. :)

If you don`t mind me saying so, thats one messy block of code. LOL! You have if statements and echo`s and PHP tags inside a echo statement. Any one of these things will give you an error.

I know, it was a copy/paste from the original code (to attempt to duplicate something on the page)... I don't know where to begin to fix this.

It should be like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td><img src="<?php echo $bimage;?>"></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="bottom" width=100%>
<td valign="bottom">
<?php if((($my -> id) == ($user -> id)) && ($ueConfig['allowBpic'] == 1) && (($ueConfig['allowBpicUpload'] == 1) ¦¦ ($ueConfig['allowAvatarGallery']==1)))
{?>

And here the last part. Sorry for splitting, but I can't post it here otherwise.

<a href="<?php echo sefRelToAbs($ue_userbpic_url);?>">
<img src="<?php echo $adminimagesdir;?>updateprofile.gif" border=0 />
<?php echo _UE_UPDATEBPIC;?></a></td>
<td valign="bottom">
<?php if(($user->bpic!= '') && ($user->bpic!=null))
?>
<a href="<?php echo sefRelToAbs("index.php?option=com_comprofiler&Itemid=" .$Itemid. "&task=userBpic&do=deletebpic");?>"><?php echo _UE_DELETE_BPIC;?></a>
<?php
}
?>
</td></tr></table>

Much easier to read, don't you think?

PS In the if clause you should use more brackets, because why do you assume, that == is done after && and not otherwise?
Best regards

The original error is gone, but now it is saying unexpected '?' in this line and I've tried to fix it, but apparently I'm an idiot.

<td><img src="<?php echo $bimage;?>"></td>

[mcibor]

If you have some previous code, it should look like:

<?php
//some code

?>
<td><img src="<?php echo $bimage;?>"></td>

It means, that you cannot have an opening of php inside a php (there's a specialistic word for that, but i forgot it). It means that you can't do what you can do with ifs:

if($a = 1)
{
if($a!= 0)
{
}
}
With <? you can't do that.
