eval parse error.

[Neo]

I get this error when I try to run this code in vb3.

Error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\vb3\tutorials.php(136) : eval()'d code on line 5

Code:
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('games_view') . '");');

It looks correct to me, but I get a error non the less. If anyone can help me that would be great.

Thanks for your time

That means the template games_view on line 136 has somthing wrong with it

Edit:
Your code is right, what's on line 5? Is there any lines above it that have a missing ' or ;

I'd say you've got a $var['key'] somewhere in your template You can't quote your keys in templates unless their inside an if condition tag

I get that a lot.

[Dean C]

Yep me too - as you write more and more code you can pinpoint these errors in seconds

Man I really really hate vb3.

Can you explain this a little better for me?

[Link14716]

It has nothing to do with vB3, you'd get that error in a vB2 template, or any template for that matter.

In the templates, unless in an <if> condition., variables with keys must be like $var[key] and not $var['key'].

[Neo]

ok, so I just checked the template, and there is nothing in the template itself.. and I have always used $var[key] with vb templates.

Can you paste the template here for us?
