Hi.
I am new to PHP. I found a tutorial that said to copy and paste the
code
into a .php document and open it in my browser:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?>
I'm pretty sure PHP is enabled on my computer. I've tested code such
as:
PHP is definitely on your system.
[snip!]
The error I get when I try
<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?>
is
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/test.php on line 106
What is the code on lines 105 and 106 of test.php? If there's
nothing on line 105, please send us the immediately-preceding code.
105: <?php
106: echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
107: ?>
All the code before line 105 is code that I've been messing around
with. I tried testing those three lines in its own file. But I still
get the same error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/error.php on line 2
By the way, a T_VARIABLE is just a variable --- anything beginning
with a $dollar_sign.
I had a similar problem and this was suggested and it worked for me:
Try to put the global $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] into {}brackets:
echo '{$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']}';
I'm not sure about the single quotes in your situation... I'm new at
this too :)
