Error trying to move an ad

[Rich Z]

I tried to move this ad to a more appropriate category on my site: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/pp_c...p?product=1639

When I tried to do so, I got this error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/fauna/public_html/pp_classifieds/adm-product.php on line 236

The only thing I can think of is that the format is somewhat different between the source category and the destination category. But if that is the case, I think this should be captured by the program and handled with an appropriate message rather then getting an error notice like above. The program needs to be smart enough to know what it can and cannot do.

Most likely probally related to your editing of the file trying to fix the bug form the other thread.

[Rich Z]

Nope. I didn't do any edits except for the ones you sent me. So regardless, it's still a bug, I think. Any solutions at hand?

BTW, I am not a PHP programmer and never said I was. I may be able to do something REALLY minor, but I don't even try to troubleshoot code.

Me posting a bug fix and when you alter the file you make a parse error is not a bug.

Here is the code edit to make again.

In adm-product.php find this

$ipaddr = findenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$date = time();
$what = "Deleted product: $filename ($ptitle)";
$what = addslashes($what);
$query = "REPLACE INTO {$Globals['pp_db_prefix']}admlog (adminuser,ip,datestamp,description) VALUES ('{$User['username']}','$ipaddr','$date','$what')";
$resultb = ppmysql_query($query,$link);

change to this

$username = addslashes($User['username']);
$ipaddr = findenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$date = time();
$what = "Deleted product: $filename ($ptitle)";
$what = addslashes($what);
$query = "REPLACE INTO {$Globals['pp_db_prefix']}admlog (adminuser,ip,datestamp,description) VALUES ('$username','$ipaddr','$date','$what')";
$resultb = ppmysql_query($query,$link);

See, I TOLD you I wasn't a PHP programmer. Looked OK to me when I cut and pasted those lines.......

Thanks for your help.
