Hi guys.

well first of all sorry to bug you with my probs but i really can't take this annoying [censored] anymore. I run an INVISION BOARD forum for my site which is located at:

http://www.snogy.com/forums/index.php

It was working just perfect till this last week, well i added/installed some new features to the board like the Portal and some other stuff. And since i added these features now everytime i'm visiting the forums an error window pops up in every page and i really don't know how to fix it since i don't know php even though i'm learning.
So i hope one of you guys can tell me how to fix this thing and what should i do, i'd appreciate that since this is really annoying.

This is what the error i'm getting looks like.

well, he posted this 6 days ago. since then he got ahold of me on IRC and asked me what was wrong with the page and I told him.

First thing I did was search for SCRIPT tags. cause those kinds of errors only occures in scripts. so one of the scripts he was using had a syntax error on line 1.

first I came across some embedded javascript. no errors on line one. then further on I found this

Code
<script type=text/javascript src=ibfhits.php</script>
well looky here, a PHP script being treated like a javascript. No wonder there's a syntax error on line one. smile

heh so you finally read this topic eh lol. Thanks for trying to help all you guys. Btw dartur i did that but i guess there's no problem there, and unreal i'll post the full index.php code here for you guys to see and i hope you can help me somehow coz that error is really really annoying.

Yes while talking to SR in irc couple days ago he really made me believe that it was the Page Hits feature i added that was causin the problem, coz probably the browser is readin it as a java script and it's suposed to be a php script that's why the page hits is always 0 lol.

well just give me a sec untill i download and post the code of index.php ok

huh sorry guys but i couldn't post the code here even though i prepared everything, because i was getting this:

Sorry, we do not permit this HTML tag: "GET-COOKIE" (i used a separating line because it wouldn't display it again)

so i copied all what i wanted to writte in this post and put em on a TXT file on my site. Please view that txt file, there's where everything is.

hope some of you can help me !!

P.S. Here the link to the TXT file : http://www.snogy.com/error.txt

thanks in advance

man, and here I thought you understood what I told you before. the browser is not supposed to read that PHP script. That's the server's job. Don't use a script tag at all.

Code
<td align='center'>[ Page Hits [<script type=text/javascript src=ibfhits.php></script>] ] &nbsp;[ Script Execution time: 0.5614 ] &nbsp; [ 14 queries used ] &nbsp; [ GZIP Enabled ]
that's your code currently. I wanna see this:

Code
<td align='center'>[ Page Hits: 123 ] &nbsp;[ Script Execution time: 0.5614 ] &nbsp; [ 14 queries used ] &nbsp; [ GZIP Enabled ]
See, all the rest of those fields don't have script tags. The page hit count isn't supposed to either. btw, that's what I want to see for the GENERATED code. Of course it'll look different when you're writing the file.

yes SR i do understand you very good and i'll correct this as soon as i get home but tell me what do you think, isn't it better to remove this damn feature at all ? It's so annoying.

thanks for all of your help SR

sure, hit counts are pointless in my opinion.
