I add this part to my rewrite function but i am getting an error

$categories_string .= '<a href="';

$cPath_new = "n=" . preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/", "_", $tree[$counter]['name']);
if ($tree[$counter]['parent'] ']== 0) {
$cPath_new .= '&cP=' . $counter;
} else {
$cPath_new .= '&cP=' . $tree[$counter]['path'];
}

$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new, 'NONSSL', true, true) . '">';

Thank you
Good day

 

whats the error, and just to make sure that last line isnt supposed to call a command called temp_href_link is it?

 

the error that i am getting is painted BOLD

if ($tree[$counter]['parent'] ']== 0) {

 

What's with that last single quote and close bracket?

Shouldn't it be:
if ($tree[$counter]['parent']== 0) {

But tell me... what PHP errors were coming up? That code you had was bound to error and so I have to ask: do you have error reporting turned off? If so, why?

When it comes to finding out why something doesn't work, I find that:
a) the error message generally tells me what the problem is; but
b) if I can't work it out, it really, really helps other people if I copy that message in to my thread.

Anyway, hope that helps.

 

I try that still dosent work

The error is

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING
/htdocs/osc/includes/boxes/categories.php on line 24


Waiting for your updates

 

Well, if line 24 is the one that you highlighted, I can't see any other problems with it.

That error message is exactly what I would expect for that kind of error...

I know this may sound dumb, but make sure the change has been made, then wait a little while. I've found that some hosts cache 'strangely', so maybe it's actually your old script still running...

 

Your problem is kinda so obvious . The error is in the parsing of the [counter]['parent']'] . I don't believe the '] should be there. '] I assume , is the error. If not, please try posting in this page's whole code so we can know wth line 24 is .
