PHP Parse Error -- HELP

cc9of13 · June 21st, 2010, 07:11 PM

o.k....I'm about to pull my hair out trying to debug this error(at least 4 hours now)!

Here is the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHP\image_window.php on line 23

Line 23 in red below.

This code is from a text book, other than the directory path referred to in line 23. HERE IS THE CODE:

Code:

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"xml:lang="en"lang="en">
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
   <title>View Image</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php # image_window.php

// Set a variable for problem reporting.
$okay = FALSE;


// Make sure an image name was passed to the script.
if (isset($_GET['image'])) {
   // Get the extension of the image name.
   $ext = substr ($_GET['image'], -4);
   // Test if it's a valid image extension.
   if ((strtolower($ext) == '.jpg') OR (strtolower($ext) == 'jpeg') OR (strtolower($ext) == '.gif')) {
      // Get the image information and display the image.
     if ($image = @getimagesize ('uploads/' . $_GET['image'])) {
        echo "<img src="C:/xampp/uploads/{$_GET['image']}\" $image[3] border=\"2\" />";        $okay = TRUE; // No problems.
     }
   } // End of extension IF.
} // End of isset() IF.


// If something went wrong...
if (!$okay) {
   echo '<div align="center"><font color="red" size="+1">This script must receive a valid image name!</font></div>';
}
?>
<br />
<div align="center"><a href="javascript:self.close();">Close This Window</a></div>
</body>
</html>

Any insight would truly be appreciated. Thank you!
