parse error in php

[amrosama]

hi people
this is very urgent
ive written a php script on ubuntu and it works fine on it
but when i try to put the files on windows apache server i get parse error
when i open the file i find it pretty missed up with alot of lines in the same line
please anyone help me!!

Sounds like you're running afoul of the difference between how the two platforms save newline characters: x0A vs x0Ax0D. Try opening it in wordpad, jedit, or crimsoneditor.

This question is impossible to answer. Either post the code, or the kind of parse error you are getting, or if you want the correct answer, post both.

unexpected T_STRING? unexpected T_VARIABLE? unexpected T_CONST? unexpected END? unexpected T_IF? The list of parse errors goes on...

You could use this:

sudo apt-get install tofrodos

then

unix2dos <phpfile>.php

You can also do "dos2unix". At work on our Redhat machines I have to convert all of my PHP code because of this.

but i used todos.exe from windows ill try this one from ubuntu and see what happens

Odd error, if it works in one it should work in the other. Are they different PHP versions?

Not really, many functions need to be handled with special care under Windows. fopen(), stat(), mail() immediately come to mind. But I'm not going to guess what the problem could be, when the code and the line number which is causing the error could be posted.

nonetheless, in regards to a syntax error, it should work on both the same.
