syntax error, unexpected identifier “%s”, expecting “,” or “;”¶
Description¶
This error is not related to the upcoming identifier, but to the previous delimiters. In both cases of the illustration, a string was started, with single or double quotes: yet, inside these strings, there was another set of the same delimiter. The parser could not differentiate between the two usages, and exited the string.
Example¶
<?php
// missing a '
echo '<a href='https://www.exakat.io'>Exakat.io</a>';
// missing a "
echo "<a href="https://www.exakat.io">Exakat.io</a>";
// missing as between identifier
use OpenApi\Attributesas OA;
?>
Solutions¶
Escape quotes inside a string, when they are used as delimiter.
Use the other quotes inside the string: if single quotes are used as delimiters, use double quotes in it.
Switch to the heredoc syntax, to simplify the syntax for both quotes.
Add the missing
as, between the two identifiers, in auseinstruction.
