Hello Klemen,

I very much appreciate your script and think it will look and function great on my site, when I've sorted it all out and customised it.

I'm been stumped however with a problem early on.

When I try to access gbook.php I am getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/workrant/public_html/gbook143/gbook.php on line 59

Line 59 is as follows I've put it in bold and the surrounding code for context:

if (!(empty($a))) {

if (!empty($_SESSION['block'])) {
problem('You can't have a rant at the moment!',0);
}

The only thing I've customised here is the text, and I checked with the original source to see if I accidently deleted anything else (can happen), which I haven't.

Any ideas.

Thank you for your time.

Mark

Hello Mark

problem('You can't have a rant at the moment!',0);

The single quotes are there to mark the start and end of the text string. In can't you have used a single quote before the end of the text string and this causes the error.

To correct this, you have to escape the single quote in can't with a backslash like this can\'t.

The correct code for that line would than be:

Code: Select all

problem('You can\'t have a rant at the moment!',0);

Greetings,
Henrie
