parse error, unexpected '<'

[Guest]

I am putting in the MSRP contributions and I have hit a small snag. So small that I can't find it. Can someone else please take a look?

 

The error I get is:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /home/********/public_html/catalog/admin/categories.php on line 379

 

I am pasting line 350 - 400. The red line is MY line 379 (though how accurate that is I am not sure).

while ($manufacturers = tep_db_fetch_array($manufacturers_query)) {

$manufacturers_array[] = array('id' => $manufacturers['manufacturers_id'],

'text' => $manufacturers['manufacturers_name']);

}

 

 

Thanks!

Use a good plain text editor like Text Pad or Crimson Editor (both free downloads) and it will show you exactly what your line numbers are. You'll then be able to identify the exact line and find the error.

Thanks but I did do that. I use Crimson Editor and the red line is my line 379. But I don't see an extra > there and if I remove one of the ones that ARE there, I will get another error.

 

Which is why I pasted the additional lines, in case there was an error farther up or down that was causing a chain reaction. I am not a php guru and don't know how to spot these errors.

Agh sorry, didn't realise on first site but all of the code pasted below is in the wrong place. You can't use standard html inside an open php tag - which is why you're getting the 'unexpected <' error.

<tr bgcolor="#ebebff">
<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCTS_PRICE_MSRP; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '24', '15') . ' ' . tep_draw_input_field('products_msrp', $pInfo->products_msrp); ?></td>
</tr>

Thank you, that helped me find the error so now it's fixed. Thanks!
