Parse error?

[Daniel]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to input this code into my template:

<if condition="$p['users-online']">$p[users-online]</if>

But I keep getting this error when I try to save my FORUMHOME template.

Parse error:  parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']' in /home/mysite/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3537) : eval()'d code on line 128

Any idea what's wrong?

If needed, here is some of the code it's around...

<!-- begin beta status -->
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" width="100%" colspan="6">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_shoutcast')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_shoutcast" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_shoutcast].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<div class="smallfont"><b>JabbaTown BETA</b></div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_shoutcast" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_shoutcast]">
<tr>
<td rowspan="3" class="alt2" align="center"><A href="javascript:clientPopup();" ><img src="http://www.jabbacommunity.com/images/beta.gif" alt="JabbaTown BETA" border="0"></a></td>
<td valign="top" align="left" class="alt1">

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
	<tr>
		<td width="50%" class="alt1" align="center">
<a href="javascript:clientPopup();" ><img src="images/jabbatown.PNG" alt="JabbaTown BETA" border="0"></a>
<br />
<a href="http://www.jabbacommunity.com/faq.php?faq=fre_ask_q#faq_howbeta">Want an account?</a>
</td>
		<td rowspan="2" width="50%" align="center"><div class="smallfont"><b>Statistics</b>
<br />

Server Status: <if condition="$p['maintenance-mode']">
<FONT color="#FF8000">Maintenance</FONT></B><BR />
<else /><if condition="$p['server-status']=='online'">
<B><FONT color="#00FF00">Online</FONT></B><BR />
<else />
<B><FONT color="#FF0000">Offline</FONT></B><BR />
</if>
</if>

Jabbas Online: <if condition="$p['users-online']">$p[users-online]</if>

</div></td>
	</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- end beta status -->

Try chnaging to:

<if condition="$p[users-online]">$p[users-online]</if>

Are you sure thats the only change you made? (does it save without that line)

[Daniel]

@Marco; tried... doesn't work.

@merk; yes, it saves without that line.

Change all instants of users-online to users_online. The template system will not allow you to use - in variables.

But it seems to work for the server status.

[Logikos]

Not sure why. I've experianced this problem awhile ago and that fixed it for me. Uisng - in variables always seemed to be bad coding IMHO. Just my $0.02.

[Daniel]

Ah, strange. I guess I can live without it :P Thanks for all the help.

[Logikos]

No problem man.

Extremely interesting, Surely if it was a limitation of the eval() statement you'd understand.

But I see no reason why it shouldnt work D:
