Problem with php code

Len Whistler · 10-12-2003, 07:05 AM

Below is a php code I copied from a book at the store. It should take all the .JPGs and .GIFs in a folder and create thumbnails. You then click the thumbnails for a larger picture. But I get a error message for line 27, which is the last line with ?>

I can't figure it out. Thanks

PHP Code:


			
<?

    $dirName = "images";

    $dp = opendir ($dirName);

    chdir ($dirName);



    while ($currentFile !== false) {

    $currentFile = readDir ($dp);

    $theFiles [ ] = $currentFile;

}

    $imageFiles = preg_grep (" /jpg$ | gif$ / ", $theFiles);

    $output = " ";



    foreach ($imageFiles as $currentFile) {

        $output .= <<<HERE



    <a href = $currentFile>

    <img src = "$currentFile" height = 50 width = 50></a>

    HERE;

}

    

    $fp = fopen ("imageIndex.htm" , "w");

    fputs ($fp, $output);

    fclose ($fp);



    print "<a href = $dirName/imageIndex.htm>images</a>\n";

?>

maybe try

print ("<a href=\" . $dirName . "/imageIndex.htm\">images</a>");

Thanks Raf.....But it still doesn't work. I don't understand why the error message is for the last line, when the mistake is on another line.

I might just buy the book with the CD. I think their is a typo in the book.

lose the tab (or whitespace) before the closing identifier

Code:

    HERE; should be ...
HERE;
