ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!! I SWEAR, my server HATES to do a mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query) command.

EVERY time I try to code something with that, it tells me there's a friggin' parse error, which, as far as I can tell, there ISN'T one.

Here's the code I added to newthread.php and newreply.php:
if($poster[weapon]{
    $wbon=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT spr,hp FROM store_weapon WHERE name='".$poster[weapon]."'"));
}else{$wbon=0;}


Specifically, it says there's a parse error on line 115, which is the 2nd line of code posted above.

And, for reference, here's the entire section of new code:
$select = mysql_query("SELECT powerlevel,posts,weapon,armor,relic,hp FROM users WHERE id = '$loguserid'");
while($poster = mysql_fetch_array($select)){
      $lv=$loguser[powerlevel]+1;
      if($poster[weapon]{
          $wbon=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT spr,hp FROM store_weapon WHERE name='".$poster[weapon]."'"));
      }else{$wbon=0;}
      if($poster[armor]){
          $abon=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT hp FROM store_armor WHERE name='".$poster[armor]."'"));
      }else{$abon=0;}
      if($poster[relic]){
          $rbon=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT spr,hp FROM store_relic WHERE name='".$poster[relic]."'"));
      }else{$rbon=0;}
      $spr=floor($poster[posts]/8)*$lv;
      $spr=$spr+$wbon[spr]+$rbon[spr];
      $maxhp=floor($spr/4)*$lv;
      $maxhp=$maxhp+$wbon[hp]+$abon[hp]+$rbon[hp];
}

You don't have a closing parenthesis on if($poster[weapon] {

I make mistakes like that too

Excuse me...

*Elric walks off-screen, and a gun shot is heard, followed shortly by a heavy thump. Elric then returns*

OK, now that I've shot myself, thank-you. I have NO idea how that happened, since I copy-pasted it from a different file, and the source file is fine. (I just checked) More proof that PHP hates me.

Thanks again.

i hate it when you dont close loops properly, you wanted something like the 10 latest users. and you forget to close it, the next one is 10 times as well. so you get about 200 of the samething afterwards. I get annoyed with all the ( { [

strictly speaking, you ought to use $poster['weapon'] instead of $poster[weapon] - the latter works but for the wrong reasons (it looks for a constant named "weapon", finds no such constant, and assumes you meant the string "weapon")

it might help if you look at the parse error and see:
  • what exactly is the error? (usually, it expects X but gets Y)
  • where did it occur? (often, the source of an error is before the line in question, but it'd still help to know where it occured)

so ['string'] specifies "string" field in the array whereas [string] just ends up working cause it matches the field in the array ?

Also, it might help if you format your code better, something that acmlmboards are notoriously bad at

if($poster[weapon]){

$wbon=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT spr,hp FROM store_weapon WHERE name=' ".$poster[weapon]."'"));

}else{$wbon=0;}


change that into


if( $poster['weapon'] )
{
$wbon = mysql_fetch_array( mysql_query( "SELECT spr, hp FROM store_weapon WHERE name = '".$poster['weapon']."'" ) );
}
else
{
$wbon = 0;
}

It lets you spot errors much easier

not quite. in $foo[bar], first, PHP thinks you're using a constant (defined using define()) named bar instead of the string "bar". since there is (presumably) no such constant, PHP assumes you meant the literal string "bar". if you turn error reporting up to the maximum, you'll get a warning to that effect (but it's suppressed at the default error reporting level).

it works for the same reason you can slap a <title> at the very beginning of an HTML document and it'll work, or using <a href=foo.php?foo=bar&foo=bar> and it'll work in spite of not encoding the & to &amp; like you're supposed to, and so on: it's invalid, but the browser tries to wring as much sense out of it as it can. it works... for the wrong reasons.
