Problem with php

[Guest]

Hi,

 

I've been reading through all the (dare I mention it..) Google and search engine threads and have followed the advice - but that's not my questions.

 

I have an idex.php file in my webroot to either redirect a human to my store or a spider to my allprods page but i am getting the following error:

 

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /home/emvihtpc/public_html/index.php on line 8

 

Here's my index.php file - I can't seem to spot the problem?

 

<?php

Can you tell me what the problem is please??

 

Thanks for your help guys

that first array, $spider_footprint has a double-quote between the trailing paren and semicolon.

 

, "eblayers", "get")"; should be , "eblayers", "get");

 

but by now, you've have probably seen that.

 

Errored line numbers in php are shown for the beginning of the offending sentence, not necessarily the actual line the error occurs on. Since $spider_footprint starts on %8, that's the offending line number shown, not %9 where the actual error occurred.

I have an idex.php file in my webroot to either redirect a human to my store or a spider to my allprods page but i am getting the following error

Cloaking is bad. You should never give different content to a spider than a "real" visitor.

 

You will get penalised for this.

[Guest]

hmmmmm, are all those ip address' yours? or you just want to be able to somehow be linked via the spider, so that whatever is on those sites, gets catalouged for your server? and then hopefully get people redirected to you?

would hate to be on the receiving end of that, if and when people find out . . .

[Guest]

Pretty certain those are the IP addresses of various spiders so that the software knows which visitors are spiders and which are customers.

[Guest]

Yes - they are all Spider IP addresses from the numerous Google threads on this forum.

 

"Cloaking is bad. You should never give different content to a spider than a "real" visitor."

 

Also, I though that too but this was suggested and has been tested by many people on these Google threads so I thought I would give it a go.

 

Thanks for the advice and help guys.

tintiger - I have change the error you noticed but I am still getting the error -

 

"Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /home/emvihtpc/public_html/index.php on line 8" .....!!

[Guest]

"uscatferret", yweb", "omad",

 

There's no " before yweb.
