Resolved Embeding PDF in HTML under a PHP if command

[mhlas7]

PHP Code:

<?php
$listmonth=array("January","February","March","April","May","June","August","September","October","November","December");
foreach ($listmonth as $month) {
if (file_exists($year2.'-'.$month.'.pdf')) {echo "<object type="application/pdf" data="2010/2010-March.pdf#toolbar="0"&navpanes="0" width="500" height="650" ></object>" ;}
else {echo "$month";} 
echo "<br />";
?>

Line 1. Create an array
Line 2. Execute the array
Line 3. If PDF exists, embed the PDF in the page else echo the month

I tried this out and every time I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /web/pdf/test.php on line 4

What am I missing? I have a ";" at the end of line 4.

if (file_exists($year2.'-'.$month.'.pdf')) {echo "<object type="application/pdf" data="2010/2010-March.pdf#toolbar="0"&navpanes="0" width="500" height="650" ></object>" ;}

You open the echo with a ", but you also use " in the HTML you want to echo thus closing your echo command.
What I do to avoid such things is use ' in PHP and " in HTML.
Try this code:

if (file_exists($year2.'-'.$month.'.pdf')) {echo '<object type="application/pdf" data="2010/2010-March.pdf#toolbar="0"&navpanes="0" width="500" height="650" ></object>' ;}

Your double quotes weren't matched because you were also trying to use them around the values for the object statement. Try this instead (and if you look at what you posted with the PHP tags around it you'll see the error too ).

PHP Code:

<?php
$listmonth=array("January","February","March","April","May","June","August","September","October","November","December");
foreach ($listmonth as $month) {
if (file_exists($year2.'-'.$month.'.pdf')) {echo '<object type="application/pdf" data="2010/2010-March.pdf#toolbar="0"&navpanes="0" width="500" height="650" ></object>' ;}
else {echo "$month";} 
echo "<br />";
?>

Sorry guys, when I made the first post, I left out the main problem I was having. I had a couple variables in the HTML object that I replaced with text for testing purposes. Here is the full code.

PHP Code:

<?php
$listmonth=array("January","February","March","April","May","June","August","September","October","November","December");
foreach ($listmonth as $month) {
if (file_exists($year2.'-'.$month.'.pdf')) {echo '<object type="application/pdf" data="$year2.'-'.$month.'.pdf'#toolbar="0"&navpanes="0" width="500" height="650" ></object>' ;}
else {echo "$month";} 
echo "<br />";
?>

In Line 4, I have variables in the data value. Basically what I want this code to do is if pdf exists for each month in the array, I want that pdf to be embedded in the page, else just echo the month.

Thanks for your help!

Other than missing a single quote or 2 and a period it appears that you almost had it. Try this which is syntax error free PHP.

PHP Code:

<?php
$listmonth=array("January","February","March","April","May","June","August","September","October","November","December");
foreach ($listmonth as $month) {
if (file_exists($year2.'-'.$month.'.pdf')) {echo '<object type="application/pdf" data="' . $year2 . '-' . $month . '.pdf#toolbar="0"&navpanes="0" width="500" height="650" ></object>' ;}
else {echo $month;} 
echo '<br />';
}
?>

Thanks! That worked perfectly!
