T_* errors are parse-errors. Basically, the parser checks (parses) the
syntax before "running" the script, during this parsing, the parser
might find a syntax error. All those T_* parts stand for specific
keywords/parts of the PHP syntax. When the parser tells you it found an
unexpected T_STRING, it means that the parser found a string where it
doesn't expect one. Same thing for eg T_ELSE (an else statement where
one shouldn't be).

Incorrect syntax.

You likely have a set a variable and not ended it with ';'

For example,

$some_variable = "some_value";

is the proper syntax. Or, post the code as recommended.

Best,

Hi

Is there any way of getting the clients screenheight in PHP? (or do I have
to do it in Javascript)

You have to do it with JavaScript.

That's Geek for "you typed something so wrong, I don't even know what
you're trying to do"

Generally the line number is helpful.

You know it is usually on that line, or the line before.

But sometimes it's before that, maybe *WAY* before that, if the real
problem is you are missing a quote mark somewhere.

For sure, the problem CANNOT be *after* the line number PHP is complaining
about. It reads the file line by line, and works out what you mean as it
goes.

You should probably invest time/money in finding a color-coded PHP syntax
editor. There are sooooo many of them, I won't even try to recommend one.

Odds are good the editor you use right now has a PHP syntax color-coding
plugin or feature, and you just haven't turned it "on" yet.

PHP is serverside. JavaScript is your answer.
