Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/theneedl/public_html/mainmenu.php on line 37 Newbie error D; Here's the code from line 36 + print "[b]Time[/b] "; <script type="text/javascript"> function startTime() { var today=new Date() var h=today.getHours() var m=today.getMinutes() var s=today.getSeconds() // add a zero in front of numbers<10 m=checkTime(m) s=checkTime(s) document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=h+":"+m+":"+s t=setTimeout('startTime()',500) } function checkTime(i) { if (i<10) {i="0" + i} return i } </script> </head>[/b] <body onload="startTime()"> <div id="txt"></div> print "<hr />"; Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Re: Server timer help You can not randomly add bits of code any were in your script. If you need to insert javascript/ajax into your page personally i'd use the heredoc function such as... print "[b]Time[/b] "; PRINT<<<EOF <script type="text/javascript"> function startTime() { var today=new Date() var h=today.getHours() var m=today.getMinutes() var s=today.getSeconds() // add a zero in front of numbers<10 m=checkTime(m) s=checkTime(s) document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=h+":"+m+":"+s t=setTimeout('startTime()',500) } function checkTime(i) { if (i<10) {i="0" + i} return i } </script> </head>[/b] <body onload="startTime()"> <div id="txt"></div> EOF; print "<hr />"; Quote
TheNeedle Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 Re: Server timer help So PRINT<<<EOF EOF; is the heredoc function? It injects javascript/ajax into the page? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Re: Server timer help Well, it's not really a function. You could use echo ''; though heredoc syntax dose have it's advantages. Quote
TheNeedle Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 Re: Server timer help echo sounds familiar, must of seen it before. I'm more familiar with vb, did abit of it in school. Only reason i understand the if statements and what not lol. btw, ty it worked great! Quote
