Info Boxes

[ScampNZ]

Hi,

 

I need help quick. What I am trying to do is get an image inside a info box (which I have called Sponsors) and have it linked to the website that it needs to. I was able to create the box but now I am getting nothing but errors everytime I attempt to get the image working. View the website for the current error to the code below (www.scamps.co.nz)

 

<!-- sponsors //-->

<tr>

<td>

<?php

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => Sponsors);

 

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 

$info_box_contents = array ();

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left',

'text' => $fourm_string

);

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left',

'text' => '<a href="http://tagyourbaby.co.nz" target="blank">')' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . '10-discount-tag-ad.gif', 'Sponsor Advert') . '</a>';

);

 

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

</td>

</tr>

<!-- sponsors_eof //-->

 

 

I am new to coding and really have no idea what I am doing and it probably shows in the above code :(

 

Please help....thanks

The error is this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/scamp/public_html/includes/boxes/sponsors.php on line 27

 

This typically has to do with quotes not being in the right place.

 

Compare where the quotes are in your code with the quotes in some of the other infobox files.

 

You didn't post the entire file, but I'm guessing it's this line:

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left',
'text' => '<a href="http://tagyourbaby.co.nz" target="blank">')' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . '10-discount-tag-ad.gif', 'Sponsor Advert') . '</a>';

Yes the problem is in the that line. I have tried comparing to different files but I can't make sense of them (such as Whats new or Specials - the only other boxes with images). I have spent most of the day trying different things but I just keep getting errors. :unsure:

'text' => $fourm_string or

'text' => $form_string

 

anyway try it without

 

$info_box_contents = array ();

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left',

'text' => $fourm_string

);

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/****/*****/includes/boxes/sponsors.php on line 23

The bold code is the where the problem is happening.

Can anyone help? I really need to get this fixed ASAP and I just can't get it too work.

[ScampNZ]

I have got it all working so problem is all fixed but I just have to say....I am so clever so figuring it out when I don't even understand code!!!

[Guest]

Great! It's always gratifying to figure something out.

 

It would be good if you'd post the fixed code here so that someone else can learn from your experience.
