Variable is not printed in echo statement!

[omarshehab]

Hi all,

I am trying to print value in a PHP statement for debug purpose but it gives the following error.


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VAR in C:\xampp\htdocs\onushondhan\core\SMSEventProcessHelper.php on line 49

Here is the PHP code. Thanks in advance for your help.

First, the third sticky at the top of the forum contains useful information (in the subject, even). http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=68462

Without the php tags, it's hard to see exactly line 49, but it looks like it's in this area:

// Checking if the mobile number is in valid format
// Checking if the number is 11 digits long
echo "\nSMSEventProcessHelper.preValidate() '$this->mobileNumber'";
if(strlen($this->mobileNumber) != 13){


Assuming you're trying to concat in that echo statement. Try this:
echo "\nSMSEventProcessHelper.preValidate() ".$this->mobileNumber;

Interestingly, you have a similar echo set up like this later in the code.

Also, note in the two version of the code above, the php code tags reveal differences via syntax highlighting that can help solve some problems just by sight.

Nevermind.
