PHP Help!

[Graphics]

Hey I need help with this, I'm using the hack that allows you to use PHP in templates. I'm trying to create two separate welcomepanel views depending on wheither you're logged in/out.

I get this error when logged in and the panel doesn't show.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/virtual/site139/fst/home/staticnetwork/public_html/forum/admin/functions.php(1195) : eval()'d code on line 8

Also when logged out I get no error but that panel still doesn't show.

Here's the code that I'm unsure about. This is contained in the forumhome_welcometext template.

~%
if ($bbuserinfo[username] == "") {
echo "<table width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"><tbody><tr><td width=\"100%\">
<table width=\"100%\" style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: black; border-width: 1px;\" cellspacing=\"{tableouterborderwidth}\" {tableouterextra} cellpadding=\"0\">";
echo "<tbody>";
echo "<tr>";
ecco "<td>";
  echo "<table cellpadding=\"4\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" {tableinnerextra}><tbody>";
    echo "<tr bgcolor=\"{tableheadbgcolor}\">";
     echo "<td colspan=\"5\">";
      echp "{smallfont}<b>Welcome to $bbtitle Forums!</b>{/smallfont}";
     echo "</td>";
    echo "</tr>";
    echo "<tr bgcolor=\"{categorybackcolor}\">";
     echo "<td colspan=\"2\">";

*Bump* Anyone?

Looks like you misspelled echo a few times.

PHP Code:

ecco "<td>";
  echo "<table cellpadding=\"4\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" ><tbody>";
    echo "<tr bgcolor=\"#1D6AA0\">";
     echo "<td colspan=\"5\">";
      echp "{smallfont}<b>Welcome to $bbtitle Forums!</b>{/smallfont}"; 


should be

PHP Code:

echo "<td>";
  echo "<table cellpadding=\"4\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" ><tbody>";
    echo "<tr bgcolor=\"#1D6AA0\">";
     echo "<td colspan=\"5\">";
      echo "{smallfont}<b>Welcome to $bbtitle Forums!</b>{/smallfont}"; 


You made this mistake twice in the above code. Make sure you replace both instances of it.

isn't it better to use print anyways?

I am not really sure. Try reading http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/...l/aid/1/fid/40 and the comments below the definition/explanation located at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php . Those pages seem to clarify the differences as well as advantages/disadvantages. By now, you probably know that I personally use echo instead of print.

Yeah, I do, seeing the Battle System. I think there are only slight differences between them anyway.

Thanks a lot Bitsy for pointing that out.
