PHP parse/syntax errors; and how to solve them

Closed 7 years ago.
I have the following code, but keep running into a syntax error on line 7, saying "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'htmlentities' (T_STRING)." Is this not the correct way to echo php and html at the same time? Any help is appreciated!
<?php
$stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT first_name, last_name, department, website filename FROM Profile");
while ( $row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC) ) {
echo('<div class="col-sm-3">
<img class="img-rounded" src="'.$row['filename'].'"/>
<p class="caption">');
echo(''.($row['first_name']).' '.htmlentities($row['last_name']).'')
echo(', '.htmlentities($row['department']));
echo('</p> </div>');
}
?>

Answer 1

Your echo should be without parenthesis and you're missing . on a few of your echo commmands.

Answer 2

To join an echo string (concatenate) you need to add the strings with a "."
Please use :
<?php
$stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT first_name, last_name, department, website filename FROM Profile");
while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
echo '<div class="col-sm-3">
<img class="img-rounded" src="' . $row['filename'] . '"/>
<p class="caption">';
echo '' . ($row['first_name']) . ' ' . htmlentities($row['last_name']) . '';
echo ', ' . htmlentities($row['department']);
echo '</p> </div>';
}
?>

Answer 3

You should concatenate your strings when you interrupt the string like
echo('<a href="' . htmlentities($row['website']) . '">'.($row['first_name']).' '
At the htmlentities part you are missing the dots for stringconcatenation

Answer 4

You have concatenated the string in wrong way. Try following
<?php
$stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT first_name, last_name, department, website, filename
FROM Profile");
while ( $row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC) )
{
echo '<div class="col-sm-3">
<img class="img-rounded" src="'.$row['filename'].'"/>
<p class="caption">';
echo ''.$row['first_name'].' '.htmlentities($row['last_name']).'';
echo ', '.htmlentities($row['department']);
echo '</p> </div>';
}
?>
OR
You can also try the following as an alternative way..
<?php
$stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT first_name, last_name, department, website, filename
FROM Profile");
while ( $row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC) )
{
?>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<img class="img-rounded" src="<?php echo $row['filename'] ?>"/>
<p class="caption">
<a href="<?php echo htmlentities($row['website']) ?>">
<?php echo $row['first_name'].' '.$row['last_name'] ?>
</a>
<?php echo ', '.htmlentities($row['department']); ?>
</p>
</div>
<?php
}
?>

Answer 5

I edit the code you try it. You miss . and ;
echo '<div class="col-sm-3">
<img class="img-rounded" src="'.$row['filename'].'"/>
<p class="caption">';
echo ''.($row['first_name']).' '.htmlentities($row['last_name']).'';
echo ', '.htmlentities($row['department']);
echo '</p> </div>';
