Need help, php error! T_variable error! Plz help!

I'm having trouble with my search engine. The T_variable error is appearing.

ERROR IS LINE 31. Whats wrong?

27. {
28.
29.//constuct query
30. $x++
31. $construct .= "keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";
32. else
33. $construct .="OR keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";
34.
35. }

Thanks!

 

There is no if function?

if(something)
$construct .= "keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";
else
$construct .="OR keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'"

 

Also I noted you didn't terminate the line: $x++ with a semicolon.

If that's not just a typo in your posting and is in the actual code,
the PHP parser would see the line as: $x++ $construct .= "keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";

But what the error is actually saying is that the PHP parser was expecting
an open parenthesis but found a variable - which would be the case if
you didn't include an "if (condition)" clause as ssmm987 mentioned.

 

if (function)
{

//constuct query
$x++
$construct .= "keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";
} else {
$construct .="OR keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";

}

 

if (function)
{
//constuct query
$x++;
$construct .= "keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";
} else {
$construct .="OR keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";

}

 

I must have been snoozing when mentioned the $x++ not being terminated point...

If so, the parser would just fail - giving no error.

Hope you fixed your issue.
