Array has `trailing comma`, why not the same for function parameter list?

Hi, all.
I’m new to the list & PHP in general & have a syntax question.
I have a script that calls both DB & MDB2. This is the part of
the script where the error occurs:
################################################################
if($type == "DB")
{
$db = DB::connect($dsn);
if (PEAR::isError($db)) { die($db->getMessage()); }
$db->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);
$res = $db->query( 'SELECT * FROM users');
if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
die($res->getMessage());
}
echo ‘<pre>’;
while( $res->fetchInto( $row ) ) {
print_R($row);
}
echo ‘</pre>’;
} else if($type == "MDB2") {
$mdb2 =& MDB2::connect($dsn);
if (PEAR::isError($mdb2)) { die($mdb2->getMessage()); }
$res = $mdb2->query( 'SELECT * FROM users');
// Always check that result is not an error
if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
die($res->getMessage());
}
echo ‘<pre>’;
while ($row = $res->fetchRow(MDB2_FETCHMODE_ASSOC)) {
print_R($row);
}
echo ‘</pre>’;
}
###################################################################
The syntax checker calls the first instance of echo
‘<pre>’; saying unexpected >
I’m at a loss to understand why...
I’m using PHP 5.3.8 & PEAR 1.9.4 with MySQL 5.1.59 on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil.

It seems as though your editor has changed the normal quotes around <pre> into
"pretty" quotes. Change the ‘s and ’s back to '.

This line is consider 'top post'. Meaning you're posting on top of the

Where as this line is bottom posting. Meaning you'd be posting
bottom/below the reply, which is the preferred method on this list.

2 - Make a new content area in Site Manager->Content Manager. It doesn't
matter what you put in your content area, you could just put "This is my new
content area" or "Hello World" if you so choose.
3 - Grab the information_id of the new content area you made. When you are
editing a content area that already exists, the information_id can be gotten
from the update page URL.
I'm having trouble understanding this request:
1. In item #2 the client wishes to put content here, I can only guess he
means a file with text in it. ?????
2. Item #3 I know what an ID is but not in this context. I'm don't
understand what the client wishes here.??
Assuming that this is a site that is powered by a database, then one would be
creating a new record in the database to store the content in rather than a new
file, although one could get away with a list of files. The problem is you need
to identify the next 'file/content' number, and that needs the 'information_id'.
Using a database, there would be a unique index on the 'information_id' field,
and you would just look up in the database to see if a number exists and pull
the data from that record. Creating a new page just grabs the next
'information_id' number. One could get away by looking for the 'biggest' file
number, but I suspect that 'Site Manager->Content Manager' already has some of
the infrastructure to manage this?

It is convenient to have a trailing comma when defining an array - so as
easy to add/remove code to add/remove an entry to the array
array(
'key00' => 'value00',
'key01' => 'value01',
'key02' => 'value02',
...
)
I suggest to PHP Development team to make it available in the syntax to
have a leading comma
array(
...
, 'key00' => 'value00'
, 'key01' => 'value01'
, 'key02' => 'value02'
)
in such way, we can thought of the leading commas as the list bulletings.
And the same things would be lovely to be applied also to function
parameter list. I don't see why not :)
What do you thing about my suggestion? Hope to hear from you!
