Parse error, unexpected T_STRING

**deadshot270** · Nov 29, 2004 18:41

I'm relatively new new to php, I'm using a book calles "SAMS Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL, and Apache in 24 Hours". It has many scripts for you to use to learn the 3. In doing a file upload script from the book and I keep getting the following error

Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in D:\Web Sites\practicesite\9.14.php on line 13

Here are the scripts.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Listing 9.13 A Simple File Upload Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="9.14.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="51200">
File to Upload: <input type="file" name="fileupload"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="UPLOAD!">
</form>
</body>
</html>

And.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Listing 9.14 A File Upload Script</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>
File Upload Results
</h1>
<?php
$file_dir = "\uploadedfiles\";

foreach($_FILES as $file_name => $file_array) {
	print "path: "$file_array['tmp_name']"<br>\n";
	print "name: "$file_array['name']"<br>\n";
	print "type: "$file_array['type']"<br>\n";
	print "size: "$file_array['size']"<br>\n";
	
	if (is_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name'])) {
		move_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name'],
			"$file_dir/$file_array[name]") or die ("Couldn't copy");
		print "file was moved!<br><br>";
	}
}
?>
</body>
</html>

Can someone please help me correct this error.

Thanks,
Taylor

you need to have dots around your array references, like so:

PHP Code:


print "path: ".$file_array['tmp_name']."<br>\n";

// etc...

instead of

PHP Code:


$file_dir = "\uploadedfiles\";

try:

PHP Code:


$file_dir = "/uploadedfiles";

also instead of:

PHP Code:


print "path: "$file_array['tmp_name']"<br>\n";

print "name: "$file_array['name']"<br>\n";

print "type: "$file_array['type']"<br>\n";

print "size: "$file_array['size']"<br>\n";

try:

PHP Code:


print "path: ".$file_array['tmp_name']."<br>\n";

print "name: ".$file_array['name']."<br>\n";

print "type: ".$file_array['type']."<br>\n";

print "size: ".$file_array['size']."<br>\n";

Ok, I fixed what you told me and now I don't get the error but it still won't upload the file I want. Could there be an issue in the php.ini file i need to change.

Please help me.

Thanks,
Taylor
