Blog php script problem

Post by pcman10 »

Hi guys! I has got a problem in blog.posts.inc.php. This is the error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /mnt/ultraweb/n/na/nanasite/core/inc/posts.inc.php on line 42. This is the code:
<?php

// checks if the given post id is in the table.
function valid_pid($pid){
	$pid = (int)$pid;
	
	$total = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`post_id`) FROM `posts` WHERE `post_id` = {$pid}");
	$total = mysql_result($total, 0);
	
	if ($total != 1){
	return false;
	}else{
	return true;
	}
}

// fetches a summery of all the blog posts.
function get_posts(){
$sql = "SELECT
		`posts`.`post_id` AS `id`
		`posts`.`post_title` AS `title`,
		LEFT(`posts`.`post_body~, 512) AS `preview`,
		`posts`.`post_user` AS `user`,
		DATE_FORMAT(`posts`.`post_date`, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i:%s') AS `date`,
		`comments`.`total_comments`,
		DATE_FORMAT(`comments`.`last_comment`, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i:%s) AS `last_comment`
		FROM `posts`
		LEFT JOIN (
			SELECT
				`post_id`,
				COUNT(`comment_id`) AS `total-comments`,
				MAX(`comment_date`) AS `last_comment`
				FROM `comments`
				GROUP BY `post_id`
		) AS `comments`
		ON `posts`.`post_id` = `comments`.`post_id`
		ORDER BY `posts`.`post_date` DESC";

	$posts = mysql_query($sql);
	
	$rows = array();
	while (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($posts) !== false){
		$rows[] = array(
			'id' 				=> $row['id'],
			'title' 			=> $row['title'],
			'preview' 			=> $row['preview'],
			'user' 				=> $row['user'],
			'date' 				=> $row['date'],
			'total_comments' 	=> ($row['total_comments'] === null) ? 0 : $row['total_comments'],
			'last_comment' 		=> ($row['last_comment'] === null) ? 'never' : $row['last_comment']
		);
	}
	return $rows;
}

// fetches a single post from the table.
function get_post($pid){
$pid = (int)$pid;

$sql = "SELECT
			`post_title` AS `title`,
			`post_body` AS `body`,
			`post_user` AS `user`,
			`post_date` AS `date`
			FROM `posts`
			WHERE `post_id` = {$pid}";
			
			$post = mysql_query($sql);
			$post = mysql_fetch_assoc($post);
			
			$post['comments'] = get_comments($pid);
			
			return $post;
}

// adds a new blog entry.
function add_post($name, $title, $body){
	$name = mysql_real_escape_strink(htmlentities($name));
	$title = mysql_real_escape_strink(htmlentities($title));
	$body = mysql_real_escape_strink(nl2br (htmlentities($body)));
	
	mysql_query("INSERT INTO `posts` (`post_user`, `post_title`, `post_body`, `post_date`)VALUES ('{$name}', '{$title}', '{$body}', NOW()");
}

?>

Line 42.

You have 2 brackets in the while loop.
Change:
while (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($posts) !== false){
To
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($posts) !== false){
