Question

helo everyone

This is a code from a book i have bought. It gives me the following error.

syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in

preg_match (‚#<!-- START ‚. $tag . ‚ -->(.+?)<!-- END ‚.$tag . ‚ -->#si', $this->content, $tor);
$tor = str_replace (‚<!-- START ‚. $tag . ‚ -->', „", $tor[0]);
$tor = str_replace (‚<!-- END ‚ . $tag . ‚ -->', „", $tor);

preg_match is the line. Can anyone help me fix this?

I think you just copied the code examples that use typographic quotation marks instead of the “simple” quotation marks " and '. The code should read:

preg_match ('#<!-- START '. $tag . ' -->(.+?)<!-- END '.$tag . ' -->#si', $this->content, $tor);
$tor = str_replace ('<!-- START '. $tag . ' -->', "", $tor[0]);
$tor = str_replace ('<!-- END ' . $tag . ' -->', "", $tor);
