Subject: [PHP-WIN] I keep getting parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE
I trying to figure out PHP, and have been reading several books. There
seems to be no ryhme or reason as to when to use single quotes or double
quotes. Here is the simple code that I am trying to get to work.
<html>
<head>
<title>Greetings</title>
<body>
<?php
if ($name) {
print ('Good');
if(date("A")=="AM") {
print ('morning,');
} elseif ( ( date("H") >=12) and
(date("H) < 18)) {
print ('afternoon');
} else {
print ('evening,');
}
print ("$name");
print ('!\n');
} else {
print ('Please log in.\n');
}
?>
</body>
</html>
I have made repeated changes, such as adding single quotes, etc... but I
still continue to get the parse error, Unexpected T_Variable.

can I just point out that, being a student myself it is sometimes toooo time
consuming to wad through loads of books etc to find a problem, so posting a
question to the knowledgable ones is sometimes a better option, and much
quicker.
At the end of the day, we will learn the problem via both solutions.

Hey Tryst,
It is nice when the questions are related to the theme of the discussion
board though is it not? (PHP in this case) That was the point that I was
trying to make. I guess I could have said it in a nicer way since I have
taken a ton of flak on this one today.
By the way, I'm sure those questions did not required wading through loads
of books. A couple simple queries on google would have probably done the
trick. Sorry if I offend anyone yet again but I think people are becoming
incredibly lazy in the pursuit of knowledge...

Ok, here's my 2 cents worth.
It's hard to be off subject when it comes to PHP, since one of the primary
features of PHP is it integrates so robustly with a wide variety of internet
protocols, databases, other programming languages, etc.
Even design issues leave the new folks staggering from the possible
solutions, and most of them offering rapid development and implementation.
If bad design choices are made, you can rip out the bad code and replace it
with another option in the time it used to take to just get rolling.
To answer the original question, assuming that Rinku has not departed to
Antarctica to get away from being flamed, Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) were
designed to help prevent long running projects from getting on the wrong
path early in the process and wasting lots of time and money. With the
rapid development available in PHP, you very seldom see these tools used any
more. If you are being asked to provide them, you are talking to someone
who has not seen systems that used to take a year to develop, being "slapped
together" (that's my technical term) in a month. To do DFD's in this
market, requires just too much time.
probably wasn't worth 2 cents, but what the hey,
Warren Vail

Hey all,
I'm trying to add a user to Active Directory with PHP. I'm running apache
1.3.29 and PHP (latest) on Windows 2000. I also have LDAPS working. I can
query AD, search it, even modify attributes for existing users, but the two
pieces of code I've tried don't seem to work. One is from the LDAP_ADD
portion of the PHP manual (site is down at the moment), and another is from
some guy's website which says to use LDAP_MOD_ADD.
Does someone know how to do this? If so, could you please share your code?
Also, how do you change a user's password in AD with PHP?
Thanks,
John

Newbie questions again.
In ColdFusion I'd use a <CFLOCATION> tag to push the user to another page or
location.......
In PHP I've read you can use a:
<?php
header("Location: http://domain/virtual/yourpage.php";);
exit;
?>
However, when ever I've tried this I keep getting errors something like:
"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by(page
I'm working on)"
Suggestions?

You have to put this before any other output on the page.

Rasmus,
Thanks, but, what if, I've just gone through an set variables and outputed
the contents of those to PHP, just to run up a SQL query, to authenticate a
user. Set another to say they are authenticated, then I want to take the
user to another page? What PHP method would I use in this case.

If you output anything to the user you can no longer do an HTTP redirect
by the very definition of how things work. You could do a Javascript
timed redirect, but if you output something for the user to see are you
really going to suddenly change the page on them without giving them a
chance to read it? Normally that is considered very bad UI design.

Rasmus,
Thank you, sorted it out:
In the
<header>
<script language="javascript1.2">
function browserRedirect()
{
var ns4 = document.layers;
var ns6 = document.getElementById && !document.all;
var ie4 = document.all;
if(ns4) URLStr = "http://www.php.net";;
else if(ns6) URLStr = "http://www.php.net";;
else if(ie4) URLStr = "http://www.php.net";;
else URLStr = "http://www.php.net";;
location = URLStr;
}
</script>
</header>
In the
<body>
echo "<script language='javascript'>\n";
echo "browserRedirect()\n";
echo "</script>\n";
exit();
</body>
You might have a better cleaner suggestion?

If you're going to go this way (which as Rasmus pointed out is generally
very bad UI design) you might find the following a lot cleaner...
<script language="javascript">
location.href = 'http://www.php.net/';
</script>
There is no reason to do any browser detection, especially if you don't
actually change anything based on what browser it thinks it is. The best
solution however would be to reorganise the script so it decides whether
to redirect before it outputs anything to the browser.
