- eval()'d parse errors are related to the template switches used in the phpBB template system. There are a number of possible causes to an eval() parse error and below they are listed.
- If you are trying to add a script such as hitbox, fastcounter or anything that has <!-- BEGIN WHATEVER CODE --> and <!-- END WHATEVER CODE --> statements in it to a .tpl/.html file, you may be receiving such errors as Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /root/phpBB/includes/template.php(127) : eval()'d code on line 50
- This is due to how phpBB handles <!-- BEGIN --> and <!-- END -->'s. The template system is set-up to interpret these in special ways, such as loops and switches, and not having such an object between them results in parse errors.
- So, to fix it delete the 'BEGIN' and 'END' in your HTML comments. You should also write all of your comments in lower case. ex:
- Code: Select all
<!-- BEGIN FASTCOUNTER CODE -->
<a href="http://member.bcentral.com/cgi-bin/fc/fastcounter-login?2440090" target="_top">
<img border="0" src="http://fastcounter.bcentral.com/fastcounter?2440090+4880187"></a>
<!-- END FASTCOUNTER CODE -->
<br>
<!-- BEGIN FASTCOUNTER LINK -->
<font face="arial" size="1">
<a href="http://fastcounter.bcentral.com/fc-join" target="_top">FastCounter by bCentral</a></font><br>
<!-- END FASTCOUNTER LINK -->
Will be changed to this:- Code: Select all
<!-- fastcounter code -->
<a href="http://member.bcentral.com/cgi-bin/fc/fastcounter-login?2440090" target="_top">
<img border="0" src="http://fastcounter.bcentral.com/fastcounter?2440090+4880187"></a>
<!-- fastcounter code -->
<br>
<!-- fastcounter code -->
<font face="arial" size="1">
<a href="http://fastcounter.bcentral.com/fc-join" target="_top">FastCounter by bCentral</a></font><br>
<!-- fastcounter code -->
- If that is not the problem then you might be using switches incorrectly. Every switch should be on its own line.
- This is NOT correct code:
- Code: Select all
some html code <!-- BEGIN switch_user_online -->
some other html code
- This code is not correct before there is some text before switch. This is correct code:
- Code: Select all
some html code
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_online -->
some other html code
- Broken switches will also have a similar effect, for example
- Code: Select all
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_online
- The last possible problem with switches which may cause an error is having a begin switch without it's corresponding end switch, for example
- Code: Select all
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_online -->
- Code: Select all
<!-- END switch_user_online -->
- If you are trying to add a script such as hitbox, fastcounter or anything that has <!-- BEGIN WHATEVER CODE --> and <!-- END WHATEVER CODE --> statements in it to a .tpl/.html file, you may be receiving such errors as
