Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*'

23 posts

Hello guys in the house, complements of the new year.

Am setting up a new project and ran into this issue,

i have not actually touched anything in this part of the work and just clicked on the "People" Icon to see this...

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*' in /home/campnigeria/public_html/templates/base/scripts/BxBaseBrowse.php on line 71"

Can anyone please help me out with why and how to fix it?

thanks in advance

Try to check your 'Sex' predefine list. It is probably that one of values is equal to *

Thanks Andrew for your response

I have checked the sex values and nothing in wrong there.

I have installed this same 7.2 version several times and never seen this crop up.

What else can I do please.

HI AndrewP

I decided to go into the script to see and compare with my working site and found .....

// fill sKeyName with parameters for search into cach��

I have replaced it with what is on my working site and it now works fine.

Cant just figure why this happened.

Anyways, thanks for your response once again.

That file (templates/base/scripts/BxBaseBrowse.php) has the following code on line 71:

$this -> sKeyName .= ($this -> aParameters['sex']) ? $this -> aParameters['sex'] . '|' : '';

This is why I suspected anything wrong in SEX settings of your website.

Most probably, you put '*' as value for one of your sex options (predefined array). This is why I suggested you to check it.
