[PHP] what kind of weird problem is this?
I just installed the php 4.2.1 from entropy.ch and when running this script: ?php $test = just about anything; echo this was justa test; ? I get this error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /Library/WebServer/Documents/west.php on line 3 Anyone know what *that* is about? -Josh
Re: [PHP] what kind of weird problem is this?
Are you using a broken editor of some sort? All I can think of here is that your spaces aren't really spaces. Try an od -c on that file from your prompt. -Rasmus On Wed, 19 Jun 2002, Joshua Alexander wrote: I just installed the php 4.2.1 from entropy.ch and when running this script: ?php $test = just about anything; echo this was justa test; ?

RE: [PHP] what kind of weird problem is this?
Doing a search on php.net for T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING comes up with this page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/tokens.php This then leads to: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string .syntax I have no idea how to interpret all this, but try changing ?php to just ? and see how that goes.

Sounds like you're using Mac OS X, if you got PHP from entropy.ch ... Make sure you do NOT use TextEdit to edit/create your PHP scripts. Grab a copy of BBEdit Lite instead from www.barebones.com. You'll be glad you did! -Clay From: Joshua Alexander [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 02:22:34 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] what kind of weird problem is this?

Re: [PHP] what kind of weird problem is this?
Well, 312 is not a space. Please use a text editor that knows what a space is. The other lines look fine, but your $test312=312 stuff there is bogus. -Rasmus On Wed, 19 Jun 2002, Joshua Alexander wrote: Thanks, I didn't know about od 000 ? p h p \n \n $ t e s t 312 = 312 020j u s t a b o u t a n y t h 040i n g ; \n \n e c h o t h i 060s w a s j u s t a t e s t 100 ; \n \n ? 106 That is REALLY weird.

Opening the file in vi shows that BBEdit is, for some reason, using \xca where the spaces should be. Off to BareBones.com I go... Well, 312 is not a space.
