Parse: Error Unexpected T_lnumber php parse error when running script

[electriic ink 1]

Hi. I've just created a php script. The main object of the script is to delete some old files and replace it with a new file with some new content, effectively moving the contents from one file to another.

 

These are the first 50 lines of the file:

 

 

$a_stream = fopen($a_B . ".cmat", "w+");

fwrite($a_stream, $new_page_contents);

fclose($a_stream);

 

/* Calculate For The "B" Group - The Group Of The Games UniQue Numbers */

 

 

$b_1 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_1.dat");

$b_2 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_2.dat");

$b_3 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_3.dat");

[highlight=yellow]$b_4 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_4.dat");[/highlight]

$b_5 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_5.dat");

 

unlink("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_6.dat");

 

$b6_stream = fopen("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_6.dat", "w+");

fwrite($6_stream, $b_1);

fclose($6_stream);

 

unlink("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_5.dat");

 

$b5_stream = fopen("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_5.dat", "w+");

fwrite($5_stream, $b_2);

fclose($5_stream);

 

unlink("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_4.dat");

 

$b4_stream = fopen("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_4.dat", "w+");

fwrite($4_stream, $b_3);

fclose($4_stream);

 

unlink("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_3.dat");

 

$b3_stream = fopen("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_3.dat", "w+");

fwrite($3_stream, $b_4);

fclose($3_stream); linenums:0'><? /* Calculate For The "A" Group - The Latest Games ID */ $a_B = 002; while(file_exists("a_" . $a_B . ".dat")) { $a_B++; } $new_page_contents = " <? $title = \"" . $_POST["new_name"] . "\"; include \"/home/cmatcme/public_html/header.php\"; echo = \"<h3>" . $_POST["new_name"] . "</h3> " . $_POST["new_desc"] . " <object> <embed src='" . $_POST["new_game_url"] . "'> </object> include \"/home/cmatcme/public_html/footer.php\"; ?> "; $a_stream = fopen($a_B . ".cmat", "w+"); fwrite($a_stream, $new_page_contents); fclose($a_stream); /* Calculate For The "B" Group - The Group Of The Games UniQue Numbers */ $b_1 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_1.dat"); $b_2 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_2.dat"); $b_3 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_3.dat"); [highlight=yellow]$b_4 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_4.dat");[/highlight] $b_5 = file_get_contents("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_5.dat"); unlink("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_6.dat"); $b6_stream = fopen("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_6.dat", "w+"); fwrite($6_stream, $b_1); fclose($6_stream); unlink("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_5.dat"); $b5_stream = fopen("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_5.dat", "w+"); fwrite($5_stream, $b_2); fclose($5_stream); unlink("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_4.dat"); $b4_stream = fopen("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_4.dat", "w+"); fwrite($4_stream, $b_3); fclose($4_stream); unlink("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_3.dat"); $b3_stream = fopen("/home/cmatcme/public_html/games/b_3.dat", "w+"); fwrite($3_stream, $b_4); fclose($3_stream);

Line 31 has been highlighed in red as that is where the error apparently is. This is the error:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/cmatcme/public_html/games/XXXXX.cmat on line 31

That line is no different to any of the others surrounding it, so why that line?

Are you sure that the file exists? If it doesn't then you've effectively got code which says: $b_4 =

It may seem simple, but it's often the simple things that people miss

However, when I counted down I got the 31st line as the one which says:

fwrite($6_stream, $b_1);

I don't see anywhere in the code where you set a value for $6_stream, so you are creating a file with a blank name.

Just another thought. PHP is very temperamental.

* Changes Code *Oh yeah. Makes you wonder how you can miss something like that even after trying to figure it out for about 1/2hr.Thanks for your help, rvalkass!/~* Locked

I have an annoying php problem. I am a Newbie and cannot sleep because of this.

//First, define the modules you want to be displayed : Google, Yahoo, Amazon and the number of news displayed

$show_google = "1"; // Show google ads ?

$show_yahoo ="0"; //Show yahoo ads? WARNING : Be sure not to have both show_google and show_yahoo enabled

$show_amazon = "1"; // Show Amazon feed ?

$_numResults ="5"; // Number of news displayed in each page
