PHP parse/syntax errors; and how to solve them (21 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have an application written in PHP, I'm connecting to a PGSQL database and selecting some data. This works as expected until I use the string concatenation operator (||) in the query.
I connected tothe PGSQL db via PGadmin and generated the query, so I know it definitely works. I then copied the code and pasted it into my $query variable.
My code is below;
$dbconn = pg_connect("host=xxx dbname=xxx user=xxx password=xxx") or die('Could not connect: ' . pg_last_error());
$query = '
SELECT
f.date_gmt::date as "Date Assessed"
n.last_name || ', '' || n.first_name AS "Full Name" // line 12
FROM
fines as f
JOIN
record_metadata as r
ON
r.id = f.record_metadata_id
JOIN
fullname as n
ON
n.id = f.record_metadata_id
';
$result = pg_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . pg_last_error());
echo "
\n";
while ($line = pg_fetch_array($result, null, PGSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "\t
\n";
foreach ($line as $col_value) {
echo "\t\t
| $col_value | \n";
}
echo "\t
\n";
}
echo "
\n";
pg_free_result($result);
pg_close($dbconn);
The error produced is;
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /...index.php on line 12
Removing line 12 from the code resolves the issue. But, I need this data so what do I need to change in order to achieve what I want?
Presumably I can't simply copy the working query from the PGSQL db and paste it into my PHP code?
