I am guessing here, but I used to find this. However, it didn't generally
happen when I had misplaced ; or " it was more with () {} which makes more
sense as these section off various bits of code, and PHP throws the line
number at the beginning of that section I think. I don't think it
necessarily happens only with includes though.

I don't get the problem any more though. either that is because I have
subconciously learnt not to do it, or it is for one of the following
reasons:

I now indent my code much more strictly, and keep everything to its own
line.
I now use PHP5 (I know this wasn't an option for you...)
I now run it under Windows (Again not an option).

Hopefully this may help you a little.

Hmm... Recently someone else also reported similar problem. But, it
doesn't happen to me as I'm using PHPEdit
<http://www.phpedit.net/products/PHPEdit/> (Now runs in Linux?) It has
a debugger, so if I click the "Run" it will point the cursor at the
exact line of the error and can easily trap the missing quotes or
parenthesis because of it's syntax highlight features.

Hi,

Thanks for responding.
I use Eclipse with PHP-plugin.
But I don't think the problem is in the editor. The resulting .php file just
contains normal end-of-lines which should be reported correct by php.

I expect some bug in PHP error/warning/notice-reporting. :-(

Regards,
VFY

Erm, I am not sure I understand what you mean.
Everybody who codes PHP uses {} and () a lot.
How to circumvent excactly? What do you mean excactly?

I do that too. :-)
Just because it keeps my code readable.

Yes, I guess one of the above is the reason.

Take this code:

1: if ($this == $that) {
2: $that = $somethingelse;
3: $theother = $this;
4: }
5: else {
6: $this = $somethingelse;
7: $theother = $that;
8: }

If you were to misplace the semicolon at the end of line 2, the error
message, would say something about line 3. If you were to misplace the }
on line 4, it might report the error as being on line 1 (although probably
not in a simple case like this. but it is this sort of scenario that might
cause you problems...

I'm afraid I can't explain much better than that, because I am not certain
exactly what caused the problem.

Hi,

Aha, I understand what you mean. Misplaced ; can confuse PHP's
linenumbering.
I'll keep that in mind, allthough in my case PHP is more like 50 linenumbers
wrong. :-(

Thanks for your time and response!
