E_PARSE error ?

I'm using php5, postgresql 8.3, apache2.2.8, FreeBSD 7.0
I don't understand the message:

*Parse error*: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE,
expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

the guilty line is:

list($page_id)=sqlget("
select page_id from pages where name='$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']'");

the variable value is "/index.php"

however, at the time of execution this has been cleared

So, the question is - What is the unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE?
and What is actually expected? Are we talking about the content of
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] or what is the syntax error? This is within php
code; could it be that the parser is reading this as something else,
like HTML?
I'm lost :((

Re: E_PARSE error ?

Hi,
I think, this is the wrong list, it appears to be a PHP error.

Anyway, try to put the global $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] into {}brackets:

list($page_id)=sqlget("select page_id from pages where
name='{$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}'");

Hope, You're not lost anymore ...

Inside quotes, you need to remove the single quotes around your array
index. Seems wrong, I know, but that's what php says to do. I prefer
to concatenate. so either:

list($page_id)=sqlget("select page_id from pages where
name='$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]'");

list($page_id)=sqlget("select page_id from pages where
name=".$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'].");

are legal.
