phantom php echo?

Question

im getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/labvc/public_html/AT/site/getimages.php on line 26

from this code:

<?php

echo '<br />';
echo '<div id=gallery>';

function getDirTree($dir,$p=true) {
    $d = dir($dir);$x=array();
    while (false !== ($r = $d->read())) {
        if($r!="."&&$r!=".."&&(($p==false&&is_dir($dir.$r))||$p==true)) {
                $x[$r] = (is_dir($dir.$r)?array():(is_file($dir.$r)?true:false));
        }
    }

    foreach ($x as $key => $value) {
        if (is_dir($dir.$key."/")) {
                $x[$key] = getDirTree($dir.$key."/",$p);
        }
    }

    ksort($x);
    return $x;
}

$tree = getDirTree("./res/gallery/painting/");

foreach($tree as $element => $eval) {
    if (is_array($eval)) {
        foreach($eval as $file => $value) {
                if (strstr($file, "png")||strstr($file, "jpg")||strstr($file, "bmp")||strstr($file, "gif")) {
                        $item = $tree.'/'.$element.$file;
      $itemthumb = $tree.'/thumbs/'.$element.$file;
                        echo '<a href="'.$item.'"><img src="'.$itemthumb.'" alt="'.$file.'"/></a>';
                }
        }
    }
}

echo '</div>';


echo '<br />';

echo 'tree: '.$tree.'<br />';
echo 'element: '.$element.'<br />';
echo 'file: '.$file.'<br />';

$abc="res/gallery/painting";
$def="01.png";
echo'<a href="'.$abc.$def.'"><img src="'.$abc.'/thumbs/'.$def.'" alt="'.$def.'"/></a>';

echo '<br />';

line 26 is not an echo, theres not even an echo close to line 26

foreach($tree as $element => $eval) {

Any ideas?

Answer 1

yup. that's not the file.

Answer 2

I know it sounds silly, but are you actually looking at / editing the file you are debugging?

Any number of times it turned out I was in directory A/foo.c, when the code was being run out of directory B/foo.c. I always feel stooooopid after doing this.

Stick a print "foo!" in there to see if you are actually in the file you think you are.

Answer 3

This seems a suspicious line:

$item = $tree.'/'.$element.$file;

$tree should be an array, so if you get the error at runtime (as opposed to compile time) then it would make sense it would complain about this.
