Common PHP error messages

March 1, 2006

Debugging your code may take your time. So it is quite a good idea if you can list down common errors so that you can overcome it faster the next time you find it.

Below are some common errors that I always found when running a PHP programming. Will add more later.

Parse error: parse error, expecting `’,” or `’;” in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\adan\calendar.php on line 38

No semi-colon ‘;’ at the end of code line

Parse error: parse error in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\adan\calendar.php on line 35

1. Your variable is not start with dollar sign ‘$’

2. You are missing ‘{’ or ‘}’ at the beginning or end of a control or loop logic

mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\adan\attd_history.php on line 34
