unexpected ELSE

[Jim Michaels]

C:\prj\quiz\wit husers>php tareports.php
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in
C:\prj\quiz\wit husers\tareport s.php on line 205


this is the section of code.

if (isset($row4)) {
if (isset($row5)) { //answer given?
if ($row4['answer_tag']==$row5['answer_tag']) {
?>
<div class=answer>An swer:<br />
<?php echo $row4['answer_tag']; ?>. <?php echo $row5['answer']; ?><?php if
($row5['is_img']) { ?><img src="<?php echo getconfigvar("b asepath");
?>viewraimg.php ?id=<?php echo $row5['answer_id']; ?>" /><?php } ?>
</div>
<br />
<?php
$ncorrect++;
} else { //no answer or answer is wrong
?>
<div class=answer>An swer 1:<br />
<?php echo $row5['answer_tag']; ?>. <?php echo $row5['answer']; ?><?php if
($row5['is_img']) { ?><img src="<?php echo getconfigvar("b asepath");
?>viewraimg.php ?id=<?php echo $row5['answer_id']; ?>" /><?php } ?>
</div>
<div class=answer>An swer 2:<br />

?>viewraimg.php ?id=<?php echo $row4['answer_id']; ?>" /><?php } ?>
</div>
<br />
<?php
$nwrong++;
}

....else blah blah


I need a 2nd pair of eyes. I've gone as far as I can debugging this thing.
my braces match. I even eliminated a stray open switch statement that I
copied from code elsewhere. Am I running into a PHP parser bug that doesn't
like certain IF constructs here?

I once got an error message about an unexpected } because one was missing in
my code or something like that. It was an odd error message for the problem.
and I think I am getting another one of these.

Just at a glance I found the above.

I use a text editor called Textpad. It allows me to match open/close
braces/brackets/defined programming block containers. This is how I found
this.

the open curly bracket? that's a standard if construct.
if () {
} else {
}
am I not doing this right? I don't see it.

tried textpad. dreamweaver does the same thing as control-shift-M. Found
the open switch statement by printing out the code and drawing lines between
the brackets. turned out to be mostly dead code so I eliminated it. but it
was farther up the code block. didn't eliminate the error message. all it
did was move it.

the entire file (with headers for execution) can be found for a while at

http://home.comcast.net/~mmediap3/z/dbinc.php

http://home.comcast.net/~mmediap3/z/header.php

http://home.comcast.net/~mmediap3/z/tareports.php

tareports.php is the one with the problem.

I have the same kind of construct which didn't get an error at lines
134-153.
if ($row2['ra_id_given_id ']!=0) {
$q3=mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM quiz_report_que stions WHERE
rq_id=$row2[ra_id_given_id]", $link);
$row3=mysql_fet ch_array($q3);
if ($row2['correct_ra_id']!=0) {
$q4=mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM quiz_report_ans wers WHERE
ra_id=$row2[correct_ra_id]", $link);
$row4=mysql_fet ch_array($q4);
if ($row4['answer_tag']==$row3['answer_tag']) {
$ncorrect++;
} else {
$nwrong++;
}
} else { //bad test
$bad=true;
}
} else { // user gave no answer. doesn't matter if no answer available.
if ($row2['correct_ra_id']!=0) {
//answer available. consider it wrong. don't even have to look
it up.
$nwrong++;
}
}
}


One clue:

I commented out the else statements because both were giving the same
"unexpected " error (?!?interpreter bug?) then it complained about
unexpected case. (!?!) I double-checked the syntax. looks valid for a
switch(){}. something else above that first else error is causing the
interpreter to go haywire.

if (isset($row4)) {
if (isset($row5)) { //answer given?
if ($row4['answer_tag']==$row5['answer_tag']) {

<div class=answer>An swer given:<br />

You have already been told by Disco Octopus what the problem is, (did you
even read his reply?).
Look at the code bellow and it will show you where the error is.

if ($row2['ra_id_given_id ']!=0)
{
$q3=mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM quiz_report_que stions WHERE
rq_id=$row2[ra_id_given_id]", $link);
$row3=mysql_fet ch_array($q3);
if ($row2['correct_ra_id']!=0)
{
$q4=mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM quiz_report_ans wers WHERE
ra_id=$row2[correct_ra_id]", $link);
$row4=mysql_fet ch_array($q4);
if ($row4['answer_tag']==$row3['answer_tag'])
{
$ncorrect++;
}
else
{
$nwrong++;
}
}
else
{ //bad test
$bad=true;
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// this else has no if!!!!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
}
else
{ // user gave no answer. doesn't matter if no answer available.
if ($row2['correct_ra_id']!=0)
{
//answer available. consider it wrong. don't even have to look
it up.
$nwrong++;
}
}
}

And in my experience, "(?!?interprete r bug?)" usually means that you are
wrong.

see the if statement if ($row2['correct_ra_id']!=0) { for the one
with the comment "bad test". it's obvious.
for the one without the comment below your /////////// see if
($row2['ra_id_given_id ']!=0) { it goes with the one with the comment "user
gave no answer". brackets match. already checked many times. I printed
the code out and drew lines between the curly brackets to make sure my if
statements were correct, and checked them with a brace checker.

it turns out I am not the only one to cause the interpreter to crash with
this "unexpected T_ELSE" error message (causes VC6 JIT debugger to come up).
there is a bug logged at php.net. the first guy didn't give his full code
so the bug report didn't go very far.

the last curly brace came from the end of a while() statement so it's bogus.

I did find an echo line around line 306 that didn't have a semicolon. (4.3.8
didn't give me an error about a missing else or case statement) I
discovered that because I used 4.3.8 to execute it. and then after I fixed
that bug, 4.3.8 hung and I can't kill it. maybe it's because of the
sessions or mysql being used in conjection with command-line (sessions?).

Not that this is going to help but ...

I have to say I find code laid out like this to be unreadable. I tend to
line up ifs, elses, and braces so I can easily see where blocks start
and end and which else matches with which if. Is it tedious to do this?
A bit but it saves huge amounts of time. For editing I use TextWrangler
as that gives syntax-colouring - useful when you have lots of quotes
kicking about.

Also if you have lots of nested ifs and elses you probably want to
rethink what you are doing and how you are doing it.
