$user['User'] += 'price_balance' = $setting;

Well, I wouldn't have expected the duplicate = either, but I'm ### if I can figure out what this line is intended to do. Can you say it in English?

Incidentally...

is_numeric( $setting ) && 0 < $setting

Seems like there ought to be some further constraints. I'd expect not just "is a positive number"

:: pause for mathematicians to argue over whether zero is, or is not, positive ::

but "must be an integer" or "use so-and-so-many decimal places". Is there a real possibility that $setting could be a non-numeric string, or is this just for insurance?

Is there anything other than two more closing braces }} after the bit you quoted? (May not be important, but covering all bases.)

[walatafa]

this is the entire code am working on

$user['User'] += 'price_balance' = $setting;

The way it's written, it looks like you're trying to set 'price_balance' [string] to the value of $setting.

I would guess you're meaning something more like:
$user['User'] += 'price_balance' . $setting;

Or:
$user['User'] += $price_balance = $setting;

But I'm not really sure, because I don't have time to go through the code and figure it out.

[aakk9999]

In your first post you have:
$user['User'] += 'price_balance' = $setting;

and in the code you posted subsequently there is no price_balance and instead you have:
$user['User'] += 'bid_balance' = $setting;

and there is no 'price_balance' in the long code you posted

[JD_Toims]

I meant something more like the following in the first example I gave above:
[It shouldn't be += to concatenate a string -- Copy/paste got the best of me on that one lol]

$user['User'] .= 'price_balance' . $setting;

+= is for arithmetic [adds the value to the current value]
.= is for string concatenation [appends a string to the current string]

[php.net...]

[lucy24]

I'd assumed that "price_balance" vs. "bid_balance" was simply an artifact of changing code to fit a different site. If we're wrong, it will become apparent once the parser stops yapping about syntax.

What does the locution

$blahblah1 += some-string = $blahblah2
(or, for that matter, $blahblah1 .= $blahblah3 = $blahblah2)

mean?

Using + instead of . is my #2 most frequent php blunder. #1 is, of course, using = for ==.

[JD_Toims]

$blahblah1 += some-string = $blahblah2

You can't use addition to add 'some-string' to $blahblah1 [unless $blahblah1 and 'some-string' are numbers -- then it's still addition, not concatenation, meaning: $The_Number_1=1; $The_Number_1 += 1; will result in $The_Number_1 being 2 -- Using concatenation: $The_Number_1=1; $The_Number_1 .= 1; will result in $The_Number_1 being 11].

You also can't set 'some-string' to the value of $blahblah2, so I'm not sure what exactly is trying to be accomplished there, which is why I gave a couple possible examples that will hopefully help.

$blahblah1 .= $blahblah3 = $blahblah2

Means: Set $blahblah3 to the value of $blahblah2 and then concatenate the value of $blahblah3 to the end of $blahblah1 -- PHP works from R to L when multiple variables are "manipulated" on a single line.

It's the same as:
$blahblah3=blahblah2;
$blahblah1.=$blahblah3;

[JD_Toims]

One more note on the += compared to .= topic.

I think it's likely easiest to remember the difference as:

+= means "sum/add together"
.= means "append with"

[lucy24]

$blahblah1 .= $blahblah3 = $blahblah2

Means: Set $blahblah3 to the value of $blahblah2 and then concatenate the value of $blahblah3 to the end of $blahblah1 -- PHP works from R to L when multiple variables are "manipulated" on a single line.

Ah. So, as written:
Redefine blahblah1 to be the combined string "blahblah1" + "blahblah3", where "blahblah3" has previously* been defined as equal to blahblah2.

I have been amusing myself by making up situations where

if ($something = some-value)

with a single = sign would be syntactically meaningful.

Would be nice if the original error message had specified which of the two = signs was the unexpected one.

Yup, you got it! :)

[lucy24]

walatafa, still with us?

I think the original question still stands: In the line that caused the syntax checker to throw a conniption fit, what was supposed to happen?

[walatafa]

am here guys almost gave up..please hold while i try your suggestions

[walatafa]

thanks guys i believed it worked :D Kindly stay tuned for more errors lol

[JD_Toims]

Glad you got it!

If you don't mind, please post the solution for future readers, so they can get an idea of "what didn't work" and "what the fix was" if they have a similar situation and happen to find this thread -- Thanks!

Kindly stay tuned for more errors lol

LOL, but at the same time, that's what some of us are here for ;)

Personally, I take the time to post and try to help people out to "give back" to the community I've gotten so much from over the years, so, I for one, am here for "those errors" when I have time and can try to provide a solution.
