Topic: Carter Lake Ajax/PHP template problem

[Arthurhh]

I have been having a play with these and have struck something that has me stumped.
I get this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '%', expecting ')' in C:\wamp\www\tok\testtags.php on line 306 when loading the index page.
I am using the testtags.txt from the world distribution of the templates and when I examing testtags.php my editor shows line 306 as a blank (below
<tr class="column-light">
<td>Month</td>
<td><?php echo unUnit('%mrecordhightemp%').' '.$uomTemp; ?> on
<?php echo formatDateYMD(%mrecordhightempyear%,%mrecordhightempmonth%,%mrecordhightempday%); ?></td>
// this is line 306
<td><span style="font-size: 10px;">Warmest day</span></td>
<td><?php echo reformatRecord('%mwarmestdayonrecord%'); ?></td>
</tr>

Anyone got any hints

When you get these types of errors it can often be an indication of something missing (a quote for example) in a previous line:

Should the variables in line 305 be quoted?

Would you mind showing an URL to the page with the problem?  I can have a look at the setup.

Based on the

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '%', expecting ')' in C:\wamp\www\tok\testtags.php on line 306 when loading the index page.

it sounds like the testtags.txt hasn't been processed by Weather-Display into testtags.php.  That is, the WD variables (%tag%) haven't been substituted by WD for the weather condition, so yields a PHP error.   You should have both testtags.txt and trends-inc.txt processed by WD into testtags.php and trends-inc.html in order for the templates to work.

Thats what i figured. The text file is being renamed and uploaded via the appropiate section of WD but is that all that is required to popluate that file. Have I (RTFM) missed a step somewhere in my WD setup
