Re: Strange error in a very simple PHP file

Ok.

Thanks.

Funny enough one of my first stuff-ups was that I didn't initially realise
that all three different types of parentheses, brackets, and braces were
being used since I was sort of listening for cues as opposed to listening to
specific details, and I suppose this is pretty much related.

I know that one or two of the editing programs I use can in fact sort of do
'matches' for opening and closeing braces {}, and maybe they can then also
double-check for ones that then don't having matching ones or something.

Anyway, thanks again - will fix it and go on from there...

Stay well

No matching "}" for segment started on line 8...

Well, 'looked' through the file, and haven't found anything like a

Here's the full source thereof (maybe I'm actually 'missing' something 
due to my screenreader not 'seeing' it or something - LOL!)
---start of source---
<?php session_start(); ?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 //EN">
<html>
<head>
      <title>Backend</title>
   <?php
   if (array_key_exists("btnGo", $_POST))
   {
       //echo "here you go...";
       if ($_POST("admPass")=="adminpassword")
       {
                        $_SESSION["admin"] = "true";
//                         echo "<script 
type=\"text/javascript\">window.location=\"main.php\";</script>";
RedirectURL("main.php");

}
function RedirectURL($url)
{ // This calls javascript
$redir = "<script 
language=\"javascript\">location.href=\"$url\"</script>\n";
return $redir;
}

   ?>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="index.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" 
name="form1">
<table align="center" border="0">
<tr>
       <th align="center" colspan="2">
       Log-in
       </th>
       </tr>
       <tr>
       <th align="right">Password</th>
       <td><input type="password" name="admPass" size="50" /></td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
       <th align="center" colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="btnGo" 
value="Go" /></th>
       </tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
---end of source---

Like I said, the line it seems to reckon the problem is on is that very 
last line, but it makes sense that the PHP renderer engine thinks it's 
just missing something by then - who knows...

Thanks in advance

In my experience, it probably means that you're missing a closing brace 
or the semicolon on the very last line of PHP code.

In a very simple .php file where you're basically supposed to enter a

strange error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in 
C:\wamp\www\blindza\admin\index.php on line 43

Line 43 actually only has the text "</html>" on it (without the 
quotes).
