PHP Parse errors

[Darren B]

Im hoping one of you php wizkids can help pointme in the right direction, i am upgrading a V8 site and all seems well except for apparent coding errors.

i have the following code and wondered if anyone can spot the mistake, if there is one

<actinic:variable name="CatalogURL" /><actinic:block php="true">echo Ref2file('<actinic:variable name="ProductID" />');</actinic:block>

any help would be much appreciated

Use

<actinic:variable name="ProductID" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />

and I've no idea where the Ref2file function is defined.

Thanks norman will give it a try

the ref2file is a Gabe thing, this is an empty layout, that generates rss feeds from the catalogue best sellers and new product listing

Have you tried clicking on the green arrows?

OK. The forum has shortened the link but if you hover over it you'll see a fatal error message.

oooh mike thanks

i checked it generated the feed, but not the links - typical, ok so the parse error is fixed and i need to do some work on the other bit.

oh dear

I think i broke something, or v9 did, weres them sections gone?

v9 did.

its php support is sketchy, as i'v found. there are plenty of oddities.

ref2file is a fundtion that takes a section id reference and converts it to its filename, something that actinic cannot do.

Hi Gabe

I know, i have given up for the time, i need to swap the sites over, well i want to, so will revisit this bit sometime soon, i have hidden the rss feeds for now
