Me again...

Just in case I thought I'd let you know that this is now coming up...(just to keep you in the loop! Smile

)

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in -----/wp-content/plugins/wb-Quiz/active_quick_quiz.php on line 40

And I didn't change a thing. Go figure. Question

Cheers!

That comma is supposed to be inside a nested array.

Array level 1:
$questions = array(

Array level 2:
1 => array(

Array level 3:
"options" => array(

The comma separates each of the array items.
The comma on line 40 in the original file closes the array for 2 => array(

I went through the script and matched all the brackets. That comma is in the right place.

Two things I would change though. One of them is not using contractions, such as "What's" on line 26. That will mess you up.

The other thing is to make the second array consistent with the others by quoting the entries after =>

"scores" => array (
1 => 1,
2 => -4,
3 => -6,
4 => -5
)
should be
"scores" => array (
1 => "1",
2 => "-4",
3 => "-6",
4 => "-5"
)

Not sure if any of that helps though.

Okay,

Still having trouble so I went in and activated the example -> wb_quiz_questions.php to see if maybe it was just how I filled in my questions that was the problem.

Sure enough, it works perfectly! So, yes, it was me. Embarassed

So, I am going to go in and re-do it and figure out what went wrong. Will let you know how it goes!

Thanks again. And yep, I feel pretty stupid right now...but I'll get over it!

Cheers!

No need to feel stupid. Very few people are brave enough to try editing PHP files. Just be careful with your quotes and punctuation. One quote out of place will break your entire script.

Keep us informed on how things are going or if you need more help.

Thanks Jim.

I've gone through it and I was confident everything was good, so I had a look and it is having problems with the following line in the file -->

Jim Hutchinson · Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 1:44 am Post subject:

Add a semi-colon after </a>" so it is </a>";

In PHP all statements have to end with the semi-colon to signify the end of the statement.

Try that.

Sorry, it's still coming up with this...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')'

Hmmm....

Email the modified file to me. You have my address. That way I can start from the top and check each line.

Thanks for that Jim! Very Happy

I don't know what I did with your email address so I have just contacted you through your site.

I've also come across another little problem! I noticed that since I upgraded to wp 2.5 that my BMI calculator does not work and it did previously.

I went back to the site where I got it from to double check that everything was correct and it seems to be fine but it is just not working.

The site is -->
http://javascript.about.com/library/blbmi1.htm

Does that sort of thing usually happen? And if so, does anyone know what to do?

Cheers!

Hi Kimberley

Strange that I did not get the email from the contact form. So I set up a temporary address: npt at websitemanagers.net

When upgrading to WP 2.5, some plugins like your BMI calculator have to be deactivated, then activated again to make them work. Try that.

Thanks for that!

With the BMI calculator, as far as I know, it's not a plugin. Once you've put in your form on the page you want it on, you put in a snippet of code in the head and then copy and paste the bmicalc.js code into a file and that's it. Buggered if I know how I got it working last time!

I'll keep fiddling around with it.

Hmm... I feel like I've tried everything I can think of but, still nothing. I'm starting to wish I had've stayed with the previous version of wordpress! Confused

Are you running the inline-javascript plugin? If so, reset that one too. It allows you to put JavaScript code right into your posts and pages.

WP 2.5 is by far the best version yet, even though there are some bugs in it (80 of them patched in 2.5.1).

I sent you an email.

Thank you again for that. I didn't know about that plugin, so I just got it and still nothing. I think I'll do the upgrade to 2.5.1 over the next couple of days!

I've also just sent you an email.

Cheers again!
