Re: Bug #13505: The word "New" alone causes compilation to abort while "New_" allows compile.

You had the words New With Warranty in your code, and it wasn't in quotes. In fact your sprintf doesn't make much sense at all, since there are no %'s in it. The keyword "new" is used for instantiating objects, i.e. $obj = new class(); If you're going to use strings, put them in quotes: $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"New With Warranty\">New With Warranty\n", "New_With_Warranty"); Although that still doesn't make much sense, since there are no %'s in the format string. That statement could be rewritten as simply: $str = "<OPTION VALUE=\"New With Warranty\">New With Warranty\n"; <carlfox@netdoor.com> wrote in message news:bug-13505@bugs.php.net... > From: carlfox@netdoor.com > Operating system: > PHP version: 4.0.6 > PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure > Bug description: The word "New" alone causes compilation to abort while "New_" allows compile. > > ########################################################### > # POP UP MENU SUB ROUTINE (Condition) > > function display_column_g ($label, $row, $col_name, $editable) > { > print ("<TR>\n"); > printf ("<TD><B><font > color=\"red\">%s</font></B></TD>\n", htmlspecialchars > ($label)); > $value = htmlspecialchars ($row[$col_name]); > > if ($editable) # display as edit field > { > > $str = sprintf ("<SELECT NAME=\"row[%s]\">",$col_name); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION > VALUE=\"$row[Condition]\">$row[Condition]\n", > $row[Condition]); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"\">\n"); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"New With Warranty\">New With Warranty\n", > New_With_Warranty); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"New\">New\n", New_); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"Unused With Warranty\">Unused With > Warranty\n", Unused_With_Warranty); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"Unused\">Unused\n", Unused); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"Rebuilt With Warranty\">Rebuilt With > Warranty\n", Rebuilt_With_Warranty); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"Rebuilt\">Rebuilt\n", Rebuilt); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"Used\">Used\n", Used); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"Running When Removed\">Running When > Removed\n", Running_When_Removed); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"Scrap\">Scrap\n", Scrap); > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"Salvage\">Salvage\n", Salvage); > > $str .= sprintf ("<OPTION VALUE=\"%s\"></SELECT>\n", $value); > > } > else # display as read-only text > $str = $value; > printf ("<TD>%s</TD>\n", $str); > print ("</TR>\n"); > } > > > ########################################################################### > # END POP UP MENU SUBROUTINES > ########################################################################### > > > > -- > Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13505&edit=1 >
