Coder help needed

  • I’m trying to figure out a global post-to-post navigational scheme and I haven’t a clue what I’m doing. I need help with a code snippet. I have it right below the content div in my index.php file. I’m getting a parse error, unexpected on the last ‘}’:

    if (basename(__FILE__) == 'index.php' && $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] =='') {
    previous_post('%','<img src="https://www.bbiverson.com/images/buttons/previous.jpg" alt="Read Previous Entry" align="middle" />Previous Entry', 'no', 'no', 1, '')
    } else {
    previous_post('%','<img src="https://www.bbiverson.com/images/buttons/previous.jpg" alt="Read Previous Entry" align="middle" />Previous Entry', 'no', 'no', 1, '') &nbsp; ?>
    ">Latest Entry &nbsp;
    <?php next_post('%','Next Entry<img src="https://www.bbiverson.com/images/buttons/next.jpg" alt="Read Next Entry" align="middle" />','no','no',1,'');
    }

    Can someone help me?

  • What are those ” amp;nbsp;”s meant to be? The forum has mangled your code somewhat.
    And your error is “Unexpected }”?

    It looks like you’re missing a closing paranthesis for your primary IF statement. So put a close ‘)’ after ‘$_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’] ==”)’ and see if your error goes away.

    You wanted what ?

    The previous, latest, and next links were running together, so I put in a couple non-breaking spaces. Anyway, they aren’t the problem. I don’t know what is, but they aren’t. ??

    Actually, what I meant was:
    if (basename(__FILE__) == ‘index.php’) && ($_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’]) == ”)) {
    Notice the ‘)’ after the first check. With this code I don’t get any errors.

    Send me an email and I’ll help you through this.

    To my eye it looks like the parentheses are unbalanced for the if()’s conditions. Perhaps try:
    if ((basename (__FILE__) == 'index.php') && ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == '')) {
    I haven’t look at this any deeper than that.

    Nope that didn’t solve the error problem, either. ??

    Do you close out the php tag at the end of your snippet, like so:
    <?php next_post('%','Next Entry<img src="https://www.bbiverson.com/images/buttons/next.jpg" alt="Read Next Entry" align="middle" />','no','no',1,'');
    } ?>

    That worked wonderfully! You’re a godsend.
