I received this message:

Quote:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/5/d158572600/htdocs/fb/broadcast/webtest/testScript.php on line 3

Here's the code that I have:

testScript.php

PHP Code:

  <?php

class A {

    public function A1() {

        print "TEST A1";

    }

    

    public function A2() {

        print "TEST A2";

    }

};

?>

test.php

PHP Code:

 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>TESTER</title>

</head>

<?php

include 'testScript.php';

print "TEST: " + A1();

?>

<body>

</body>

</html>

I copy-and-pasted your testScript.php file and it worked fine. Maybe you have a typo in that file that's not present here?

I'm not sure exactly what your trying to do. I'm new here, so I'm not sure if my response is something your already very familiar with. PHP: Visibility - Manual

Even if the function is public, you still have to create the class before the function is created (the parser doesn't parse a class until it is created).

PHP Code:

  $A = new A();

Once it's created, you can call the function:

PHP Code:

  print "TEST: " + $A->A1();
//Output == TEST A10

The "+" is a mathematical operator, and since the string "TEST:" has no integral value, it evaluates to 0. Use "." instead for strings.

PHP Code:

  print "TEST: " . $A->A1();
//output == TEST A1TEST:

Since the function prints an output, and the function call in a print statement, it won't work like expected.

PHP Code:

  $A->A1();
//output == TEST A1

So the whole script would be

PHP Code:

  <?php
class A {
    public function A1() {
        print "TEST A1";
    }
    
    public function A2() {
        print "TEST A2";
    }
};
$A = new A(); 
$A->A1();
//TEST A1
?>

Once again I don't know your level of knowledge with PHP, so if this is something your already familiar with, let me know.

Thank you all for the help, but I'm trying to figure out why does this error always come up:

Quote:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/5/d158572600/htdocs/fb/broadcast/fbapi_php4_restlib.php on line 485

It seems that there's nothingw rong in line 485 of that document:

PHP Code:

    public function data_setUserPreference($pref_id, $value) {
    return $this->call_method
      ('fb.data.setUserPreference',
       array('pref_id' => $pref_id,
             'value' => $value));
  }

But I'm just wondering why does that error always showed up, this time I'm using the PHP4 API, but it still pop up an error for some reason, btw, I didn't write this API.. the website that I want to create the application for is the one who wrote this...

I thought public/private/protected declarations weren't introduced until PHP 5? I could be wrong though. See the first comment (by "Aouie Web_Form_Aouie.net") at PHP: Classes and Objects (PHP 4) - Manual for a workaround.

Yes that is right, I fixed the problem by deleting all of the public/private/protected keywords... Now new problem come up, it says that I cannot instantiate isterxmlsimplexmlimpl

do you guys know anything about this thingy..? I tried to do a google search on it, but I don't have time right now, I'll probably fix it later, I just need to find the class and include it in this file... thanx a lot guys!

the API did say:

PHP Code:

  include_once 'simplexml44-0_4_4/class/IsterXmlSimpleXMLImpl.php';

however, I don't see that the file is located in that specific folder... lol..
