Hello all,

The php below is generating errors when executed. The code below starts at line 313; it generates the following error:
"PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in D:\members\searchPublicResult.php on line 314"
When I remove the offending '{' character, the following error (which confounds me) surfaces:
"PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in D:\members\searchPublicResult.php on line 315"

Anything obvious about this code that is causing it to fail? Thanks for your help!

}

else
{
$pageNav = new mosPageNav(
$total, $limitStart, $limit );
$db->SetQuery($query);

$result = $db->ExecFill();
if($result==NULL ||
count($result)==0)
{

echo "

";
echo "

";
echo "

";
echo "

";
}
else
{
?>

?

 No record found

echo FormatDetailDegree(&$result[0]);
?>

... the first '}' before the ELSE is unexpected. That means you've already closed the statement somewhere prior to the <?PHP, so check your nesting.

HINT: Use indentation to check your nesting.

You also said when you "remove the offending '{' character", you get another error. You're removing the wrong bracket.

Thanks for the lightning fast reply. You are exactly right.

I just realized that the "if" statement that is supposed to precede this statement prematurely ended (code below ends on line 313): I was deleting the wrong bracket. Fixed.

if($result != NULL && count($result)!=0)
{
echo "

";
echo "

?

";
echo "

?

";
echo "

?

";
echo "

";
}

?>
