Parse errors

PHP
1

Hello everyone,

I’m fairly new to PHP still.

The following code from one of my PHP pages is throwing a parse error. In fact, both of these if statements throw a parse error - but when removed the error is resolved.

Can anyone help me to identify where the error in this code is?

    if(array_key_exists('orderBy', $_GET) && in_array($_GET['orderBy'], $orderByFields){ 
        $orderBy = $_GET['orderBy'];
    } 
    if(array_key_exists('direction', $_GET) && in_array($_GET['direction'], array('DESC', 'ASC',){ 
        $direction = $_GET['direction'] 
    }

I’m sure that it’s stupid-simple, but I can’t seem to figure it out.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

if(array_key_exists('orderBy', $_GET) && in_array($_GET['orderBy'], $orderByFields)) // ")" added at the end
{ 
        $orderBy = $_GET['orderBy'];
} 
if(array_key_exists('direction', $_GET) && in_array($_GET['direction'], array('DESC', 'ASC'))) // two ")" added at the end, "," removed after 'ASC'
{ 
        $direction = $_GET['direction'] 
}

And, instead of array_key_exists(‘orderBy’, $_GET) I would just use isset($_GET[‘orderBy’]) but that may be personal preference :slight_smile:
