I don't know if this will fix your problem, but you have an
extraneous comma
after'dba = /tmp/wiki.dbm,'. Also try enclosing NULL in
quotes and see
if your problem goes away.

The extra comma at the end of the array definition is still valid syntax in
PHP. Try for yourself:
php -r '$a = array(a = foo, b = bar,); print_r($a);'
NULL is a special type that means just that:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.types.null.php
Enclosing it in quotes will define it as a string, something entirely
different.
The problem described is not to do with the PHP code supplied, but the setup
of the webserver. As Stut correctly said, if PHP code is getting to the
browser then webserver is not configured correctly.
rauhspund, you are actually using a webserver with PHP aren't you and not
just opening the PHP file directly with IE?

RE: [PHP] IE7 = end tag?
The extra comma at the end of the array definition is still valid syntax in PHP. Try for yourself: php -r '$a = array(a = foo, b = bar,); print_r($a);' Interesting. Do you mean 'Valid Syntax' in that it 'works without error', or 'Valid Syntax' in that 'it was designed to work that way'? If the former, then I would argue as to whether it is valid syntax, since depending on it would be dangerous. If the latter, then I have learned something new, and I'd like to know more about why it is designed to work that way, and how I could use it to my advantage. I believe it is the latter, i.e. designed to work that way. I read something about it a few months ago but annoyingly can't find the reference. The reasoning was to make it easier for developers to manage files that define large arrays, such as config files. (You can add extra values to the end, copy/paste lines etc without having to worry too much about the trailing commas). It may only be acceptable in newer versions of PHP though. NULL is a special type that means just that: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.types.null.php Enclosing it in quotes will define it as a string, something entirely different. I am aware of what a NULL is. I suggested the quotes as a troubleshooting step, since code prior to the NULL was not being displayed. A 'knee jerk' suggestion, I concede. (Feel free to substitite your own descriptive phrase for 'knee jerk' if you must) :-) No need - I'm just as guilty as anyone for 'knee-jerk' posting :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Probably because 1. People often remove or comment out elements from lists and forget to remove the comma from the new last entry eg: $config = array( foo = bar, // baz = wibble ); 2. Perl already made the final comma optional for similar reasons. -robin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Your browser should not be seeing PHP code, so you might want to start by making sure your web server is set up to process PHP files properly. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Who knows how to change this behavior?
