@NogDogMay 29.2008 — #It's difficult to respond without a specific example of the code. However, sometimes a parse error will cite the line where the parser got to when it figuratively threw up its hands in disgust and said, "I give up!" Sometimes a missing quote, bracket, or semi-colon can screw things up without actually causing the code to be syntactically invalid at that point; and it's not until later where something cannot be parsed because of that actual error somewhere earlier in the code.
But this is all speculation on my part without knowing your specific circumstances. For all I know, DreamWeaver does something funky with the way it handles the wrapping and numbering of long lines?
Errors on line number – wrong line
I’m new to php. But when I test some code, I can’t find the errors.
example:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/nubJOB/admin.php on line 172
And it turns up on a line no where near that. I’m a real clumsy code writer and make a lot of errors. Is that how the line numbers are supposed to work? I really don’t like playing Where’s Waldo with all this code. I could get things done alot faster if I could pinpoint my errors easier. I’m using MAMP and Dreamweaver.
