Odd error...

[Meow Doom]

Good afternoon, I hope I'm posting this in the right place!

I'm getting this:

8: Use of undefined constant any - assumed 'any'
File: /homepages/36/d262088157/htdocs/forum/Themes/default/TPortal.template.php (eval?)
Line: 43

only when visiting the front page, forums and admin section of my site. (At least I know its one of those places!) Any idea what might be causing it or how to fix it. I searched, but all I found was mention of a hack from 2006. lol

Thanks for help in advance!

P.S. No I haven't edited any coding at all.

[Meow Doom]

quite a bit of views and no one?

Do you have any block or article with custom code or adds  showing on only those pages ?

[Meow Doom]

Yes, I do.

I haven't finished adding the links in, could that be it?

[IchBin]

$arcane_mage = any;
$fire_mage = any;
$frost_mage = any;

Anytime you put alpha characters in PHP variables, its considered a string. In PHP, strings must have quotes around them or will error just like you are pointing out. Its your code above that is at fault. Any quotes around "any" to make it go away.

[Meow Doom]

Ahh...that sounds...obvious. I'm sorry for my newbish mistake. I'm sure you guys get that alot. But just so I don't have to do that again turn the above into:

Code Select Expand

$arcane_mage = "any";
$fire_mage = "any";
$frost_mage = "any";

like that?

And thank you very much for both of your help in pin-pointing this! 

[IchBin]

Yep. If your'e not using those yet, you can just leave them blank as well. $variable_name="";

[Meow Doom]

Thank you very much again! It worked like a charm, of course.
