unexpected T_VARIABLE where data

[verbatim1]

I can't find the solution in my php editor.

The error starts at the 1st line of data :

 $data["dbType"] = "mysql";

can someone tell me where my error is please?

<?php 
  function post_it($datastream, $url) {

$url = preg_replace("@^[URL unfurl="true"]http://@i",[/URL] "", $url); 
$host = substr($url, 0, strpos($url, "/")); 
$uri = strstr($url, "/");
$reqbody = ""; 

      foreach($datastream as $key=>$val) { 
          if (!is_empty($reqbody)) $reqbody.= "&"; 
      $reqbody.= $key."=".urlencode($val); 
      }

$contentlength = strlen($reqbody); 
     $reqheader =  "POST $uri HTTP/1.0\r\n". 
                   "Host: $host\n". "User-Agent: PostIt\r\n". 
     "Content-Type: application/x-[URL unfurl="true"]www-form-urlencoded\r\n".[/URL] 
     "Content-Length: $contentlength\r\n\r\n". 
     "$reqbody\r\n";

$socket = fsockopen($host, 80, $errno, $errstr); 

if (!$socket) { 
   $result["errno"] = $errno; 
   $result["errstr"] = $errstr; 
   return $result; 
} 

fputs($socket, $reqheader); 

while (!feof($socket)) { 
   $result[] = fgets($socket, 4096); 
} 

fclose($socket); 

return $result; 

} 
?>

<? php

  $data["dbType"] = "mysql";
  $data["dbHost"] = "localhost";
  $data["dbUser"] = "mem";
  $data["dbPass"] = "letmein";
  $data["dbName"] = "mel";
  $data["dbPrefix"] = "mem_com_-_mel";
  $data["dbPersistent"] = "false";
  
  $result = post_it($data, " [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mem.com/userz/mel/admin.php?");[/URL] 

  if (isset($result["errno"])) { 
    $errno = $result["errno"]; 
    $errstr = $result["errstr"]; 
    echo "<B>Error $errno</B> $errstr"; 
    exit; 
  } else { 

    for($i=0;$i< count($result); $i++) echo $result[$i]; 

  } 

?>

Quite often when you get that error, if you check the lines before the one it points to, you will find an error. In your case, you have a space in your opening PHP tag. You wrote:

<? php

when it should be

<?php

You also reference the function is_empty():

if (!is_empty($reqbody)) $reqbody.= "&";

The function you want is empty():

if (!empty($reqbody)) $reqbody.= "&";
