syntax error, unexpected token “if”¶
Description¶
If-then expressions are standalone expressions, and cannot be used inside another expression. Hence, they must be preceded by a semi-colon, or any other expression closing character.
Example¶
<?php
$a = foo() && if ($a == 2) { echo $a; } else { echo "No A"; }
match(
if ($a == 2) { echo $a; } else { echo "No A"; }
?>
Solutions¶
Replace the
&&
by a semi-colon.Move the
$a = foo() &&
inside the if condition, before the$a == 2
.Check for opening parenthesis, and make sure they are closed.
Check for previous statements that uses parenthesis, such as match, switch, if… and make sure they are closed.
