I am very new to PHP and have no idea why this is happening, I have looked at other online items, however I just cannot seem to see why I am getting this error.

<?php
include_once('assets/libs/posicloud/posicloud.php');

    $cloud=new posicloud();
    $out='';
    foreach ($cloud->list_templates() as $key=>$template)
    {
$out.='<option value=''.$key.'">'.$value["name"].';
    }
  return $out;
?>

Thankyou for any help!

  • There's something wrong with your quotes notation. As this is a very important aspect of PHP (or programming in general), I recommend reading some more about it first before we give you a bite-sized answer. For example: trans4mind.com/personal_development/phpTutorial/quotes.htm

  • I was receiving this error and had to convert the file line separators from CF to CRLF.

When you're working with strings in PHP you'll need to pay special attention to the formation, using " or '

$string = 'Hello, world!';
$string = "Hello, world!";

Both of these are valid, the following is not:

$string = "Hello, world';

You must also note that ' inside of a literal started with " will not end the string, and vice versa. So when you have a string which contains ', it is generally best practice to use double quotation marks.

$string = "It's ok here";

Escaping the string is also an option

$string = 'It\'s ok here too';

More information on this can be found within the documentation

Wrong quoting: (and missing option closing tag xd)

$out.='<option value="'.$key.'">'.$value["name"].'</option>';

'<option value=''.$key.'">'

should be

    …or sprintf( '<option value="%s">', $key );

You have a sintax error in your code:

try changing this line

$out.='<option value=''.$key.'">'.$value["name"].';

with

$out.='<option value="'.$key.'">'.$value["name"].'</option>';

$out.='<option value="'.$key.'">'.$value["name"];
