BetterPHP

hy guys, i am folowing the shoping cart tutorial alex made, and i think becouse of the € sign mi a href links do not work!
loock below, and i folowed the tutorial exactly, but it all went bad when i changed the pound sign for the euro one
[syntax=php]
echo $get_row['name'].' x '.$value.' @ '.number_format($get_row['price'], 2).'&euro; = '.number_format($sub, 2).'&euro;'.' <a href='cart.php?remove='.$id.''>[-]</a> <a href=''>[+]</a> <a href=''>[Delete]</a><br/>';
[/syntax]

You have to escape single quotes inside single quotes try this,
[syntax=php]echo $get_row['name'].' x '.$value.' @ '.number_format($get_row['price'], 2).'&euro; = '.number_format($sub, 2).'&euro;'.' <a href=\'cart.php?remove='.$id.'\'>[-]</a> <a href=\'\'>[+]</a> <a href=\'\'>[Delete]</a><br/>';[/syntax]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\trabajos\shopping_cart_tutorial\cart.php on line 39

Can you post the full code?

yep
[syntax=php]
<?php
session_start();

$page = "index.php";

mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("ta2cart") or die(mysql_error());

if(isset($_GET['add'])) {
$quantity = mysql_query('SELECT id, quantity FROM products WHERE id='.mysql_real_escape_string((int)$_GET['add'])) or die(mysql_error());
while($quantity_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($quantity)) {
if($quantity_row['quantity']!=$_SESSION['cart_'.(int)$_GET['add']]) {
$_SESSION['cart_'.(int)$_GET['add']]+='1';
}
}
}

function products() {
$get = mysql_query('SELECT id, name, description, price FROM products WHERE quantity > 0 ORDER BY id DESC') or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($get)==0) {
echo "There are no products to display!";
}
else {
while($get_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get)) {
echo'<p><b>'.$get_row['name'].'</b><br/>'.$get_row['description'].'<br/>'.number_format($get_row['price'],2).'&euro; <a href="cart.php?add='.$get_row['id'].'">Add</a><p/>';
}
}
}

function cart() {
foreach($_SESSION as $name => $value) {
if($value>0) {
if(substr($name, 0, 5)=='cart_') {
$id = substr($name, 5, (strlen($name)-5));
$get = mysql_query('SELECT id, name, price FROM products WHERE id='.mysql_real_escape_string((int)$id));
while($get_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get)) {
$sub = $get_row['price']*$value;
echo $get_row['name'].' x '.$value.' @ '.number_format($get_row['price'], 2).'&euro; = '.number_format($sub, 2).'&euro;'.' <a href=\'cart.php?remove='.$id.'\'>[-]</a> <a href=\'\'>[+]</a> <a href=\'\'>[Delete]</a><br/>'
}
}
}
else {
echo "Your cart is empty.";
}
}
}


?>
[/syntax]
it is form alex's tutorial about the mini shopping cart.

Missing semi-colon at this line, just add one
[syntax=php]
echo $get_row['name'].' x '.$value.' @ '.number_format($get_row['price'], 2).'&euro; = '.number_format($sub, 2).'&euro;'.' <a href=\'cart.php?remove='.$id.'\'>[-]</a> <a href=\'\'>[+]</a> <a href=\'\'>[Delete]</a><br/>'
[/syntax]

LOL I was lost thought he was talking about

[syntax=php]html_entity_decode('&#8364', ENT_QUOTES, 'ISO-8859-15');[/syntax]


can you use str_replace() to change symbol

no, it still prints the same error!

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\trabajos\shopping_cart_tutorial\cart.php on line 39

maybe you need to convert the symbol?

try looking here, you said after you used euro symbol

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php

no actualy EcazS is right!!! i forgot about the closing ; semicolon!
somtimes i am soooo stupid!

LOL, I can't tell you how long I've look at one line and the answer was right in front my face either '," or ; missing..
