Re: unexpected $ ???

Hi I have had that one too, and it was sod all to do with a missing or unexpected $ ;) if the error points to the last line of your code chances are that you have missed a closing brace somewhere in a loop or if/else statement, I have found 3 or 4 new/well_I_have_never_seen_them error messages in PHP4.2.0 all of which bear little resemblence to the actual error, its annying at first but eventually you can make a guestimate to associate reported errors with the actual cause.

Hi All, I'm new to this and have a strange error message - can anyone shed some light? I have included a file into my main page that uses php to build an area of html and javascript. I always get this error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in d:\php-dev\includes\frmBuilder.php on line 161 Line 161 is the end of the file, I have checked back through the code and the code around the include statement and cannot find any errors in syntax or missing '$'. Can anyone suggest what 'unexpected $ ' is referring to? Many thanks, Zac
