include '../../language/'.$setting['language'].'.php';
include '../../'.$setting['template_url'].'/template_settings.php';

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ava_games WHERE published=1 ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
    
    $url = GameUrl($row['id'], $row['name'], $row['category_id']);
        
    $name = shortenStr($row['name'], $template['module_max_chars']);
    
    if ($setting['module_thumbs'] == 1) {
        $image_url = GameImageUrl($row['image'], $row['import'], $row['url']);
        $image = '<img src="'.$image_url.'" width= 100 height= 100 style="vertical-align: middle;" /> ';
    }
    else {
        $image = '';
    }
    
    echo '<center><a href="'.$url.'" title="Play '.$name.'">'.$image.'</a></center>';
}
?>

The best method for fixing “parse errors” is to find the line which PHP is saying caused the error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/virtual/site5/fst/var/www/html/akash/errors.php on line 1

As you can see in the example above the number displayed at the end saying “on line 11” is the suspected location of the error. To find this line you can count down the lines of code including white space (made by the return key) to located the suspected line.

If you notice that you have missed one of the semi-colons “;” then inset one and test the code once more to see if all the errors have been resolved

However if the line number mentioned happens to be at the end of your code, then you will have to go back and look through out all your code to see if all the { } and “ ” are set up properly

To find them more easily you can use the find facility that is available in most editors including notepad for windows.

If you have a more sophisticated editor they usually highlight anything inside the quotation marks “ “ a different colour. If you like to make your code laid out in the right manner then you can use tab on all the { } to make sure they line up as this will allow you to spot the missing brackets quickly

thanks

ya i can copy paste to.. thanks. i cant find the problem in teh php on line 1 as suggested in the error on my site

here is the error on my site

 

[CyberAff]

whats exactly the problem?

 

[iMage]

have a look at either my site,or the screenshot i added to above post

Can I assume this has been given to you & you want to use it on your board?
If so check the path is correct on line 1 & the others

 

[iMage]

line 1 is only the <?php tho lol.. i dont understand.. and this isnt a forum at all

 

[CyberAff]

look at your "$selfpath"

The problem is the line "$SelfPath" doesn't have an equals between the variable and the string.

 

[iMage]

not sure where u are seeing "$selfpath"

 

[CyberAff]

how did you faced this error? what did you do? what did you touched?

did you changed something

 

[iMage]

*sigh nvm.. i will go back to where i got it and hope the one tht wrote this will reply to his thread

 

[CyberAff]

good luck (y)

 

[iMage]

well seems the one tht wrote this doesnt want to give any support on this question.. here is everything tht was included to get this to work

this is added to Header.php

<script type="text/javascript">
$("#responsecontainer").load("includes/modules/random.php");
var refreshId = setInterval(function()
{
$('#responsecontainer').fadeOut('slow').load('includes/modules/random.php').fadeIn('slow');
}, 5000);
$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
</script>

then to call the random.php it is

<div id="responsecontainer"></div>

Strange :/ why will it give a parse error on line 1 when there is only the opening tag :s

You opening the file in? :s (if its wordpad then maybe it added some shit :p)

 

[iMage]

nope im using notepad++ ... i thought the same thing why its throwing out an error such as that right at the opening tag

 

[SalmanAbbas007]

send me the file then

If I remember correctly Line 0 is <?php
So maybe you have a lame PHP version try encasing your includes and require_once with parentheses rather than blatantly '../../config.php' crap

Like so:
require_once('../../config.php');

Could be wrong..too lazy to test

EDIT:
Also...could be wrong..but you might have short tags disabled in your php version which <?php would cause the error, so replace <?php with just <?

Once more..could be wrong xD

 

[SalmanAbbas007]

nope line 1 = <?php -_-

add a line to enable full error reporting, maybe that will help see what the problem is.

error_reporting(E_ALL);


or check the server/hosting error log. (cpanel user panel has error log) for some more info

change:

require_once '../../config.php';

to:

require_once( '../../config.php');
