phpbox error - searched here, scant info found. :(

I'm trying to use the phpbox to allow me to place my ad code from phpads.  Each time I enable the phpbox, I see this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/hfx4sale/public_html/Sources/Load.php(1735) : eval()'d code(35) : eval()'d code on line 1

Naturally, no other box will display my ad - heck, I'm not even sure if the phpbox is the right one to be using, but since the ad innvocation code is php, it seemed logical.

I found one tidbit during my search where a poster was successful by removing certain portions of the php coding - the <php? and ?> bits - everything between them stayed at it apparently worked for them - I tried it, didn't work.

Running the latest versions of TP and SMF (well, 1.1.2 of SMF).

If the code you have in the block use the <?php and ?> you need to remove them as the php block have that defines allready.

From my first post...

Sportsguy, it may be helpful to the codemonkeys out here if you posted the code here so they could see if there may be a error.

Figured it out!

Thinking that maybe G6 knows what they're saying, and I'm still a noob at all this, i reviewed my situation.

I never thought this would be an issue, but I had <center> tags in there hoping to center the ad in the space - they were causing the error.

Ad shows fine without them - though I hate that it's not centered, but there's got to be a way to fix that elsewhere.

Yet again, thanks G!

Excellent idea for next time pvc.   Thanks.

try this

Code Select Expand

echo '<center>'; code here echo '</center>';

Perfect!  Thanks a bunch Lesmond!  Worked like a charm.
