11,168 PointsParse error for details page
Hey guys! Looks like I typed the code exactly as Alena had it in the video, however I am getting this error trying to display the page in a browser:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?> ' in /home/treehouse/workspace/details.php on line 55
Here's the code I have:
'''php <?php include("inc/data.php"); include("inc/functions.php");
if(isset($_GET["id"])){ $id = $_GET["id"]; if (isset($catalog[$ud])) { $item = $catalog[$id]; } }
if (!isset($item)) { header("location:catalog.php"); exit; } $pageTitle = $item["title"]; $section = null; include("inc/header.php"); ?>
<div class="section page">
<div class="wrapper"> <div class="media-picture"> <span> <img src="<?php echo $item["img"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $item["title"]; ?>" /> </span> </div>
<div class="media-details">
<h1><?php echo $item["title"];?></h1>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Category</th>
<td><?php echo $item["category"]; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Genre</th>
<td><?php echo $item["genre"]; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Format</th>
<td><?php echo $item["format"]; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Year</th>
<td><?php echo $item["year"]; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
if (strtolower($item["category"] == "books"){
?>
<tr>
<th>Authors</th>
<td><?php echo $item["authors"]; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Publisher</th>
<td><?php echo $item["publisher"]; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>ISBN</th>
<td><?php echo $item["isbn"]; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
</div>
</div> </div> '''

20,885 PointsI haven't gone through the video to comment, but when I went through the code, at a glance, I see there isnt the second bracket in the below mentioned.
<?php
if (strtolower($item["category"] == "books")){
?>
