hi all, i keep getting this parse error

Code:

Parse error: parse error in /www/bostoncreative/session1.php on line 1

evertime i try to run this piece of code:

Code:

<?php
session_start();

if (!$phpsessid) {

session_register('font_family');
session_register('font_size');

} else if ((!$font_family) || ($font_size)) {

session_register('font_family');
session_register('font_size');

}

if (!$font_family) {
	$font_family = "sans-serif";
}
if (!font_size) {
	$font_size = "10";
}

?>


<HTML>
<HEAD>


bla bla bla


</BODY>
</HTML>

i'm following an example from a book word by word, but i just don't understand why this particular script is getting a parse error.

the script is in the root directory. i'm able to run other php scritps from there but apparently not this one.

any clues ????

ok, yeah i have a clue .....

one of the else if's was spelled as "else uf".
i think that accounts for the parse error.
if i'm wrong, and anybody decides to have their name be associated with this post, let me know.

thanks

You could definetly condense that code.
Here is what I would do:

Code:

<?
session_start();
if(!$phpsessionid OR session_is_registered("font_family")==FALSE OR session_is_registered("font_size")==FALSE)
{
        session_register("font_family");
        $font_family = 'font family';
        session_register("font_size");
        $font_size = '12';

}
?>



<?
echo $font_family; //output 'font family'
echo $font_size; //output '12'
?>

Hope that helps

Did you solve the problem monkey?

If not try making <?php, <?
Just a hunch but it might help....

Oh no now my name is associated with this post

arghhhhhhh

monkey ?!? monkey ?!? what the ...??

yes the problem got solved, thank you

it was the "else uf" that was supposed to be an "else if"

but i like robp's idea too. it simplifies things a bit.

thanks. thanks you guys.
