Undefined property 'name' / unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

agustin_garciaromero

Hello,
I'm trying to deployed on a just generated Editor example of DataTables, but I'm unable to make it work.

[1]
In my local environment, I'm receiving the following error when I click on New, enter record information and then hit Update button:
"
Notice: Undefined property: DataTables\Editor\Field::$name in C:\SkyDrive\webapps\htdocs\DataTables\php\lib\Editor\Editor.php on line 319
{"id":-1,"error":"","fieldErrors":[{"name":null,"status":null}],"data":[]}
"

[2]
In my live environment (http://a4enterprise.com/DataTables/exp_budget_expenses193.html) I'm receiving a different error, when I just try to load the same page:

"
DataTables warning (table id = 'exp_budget_expenses193'): DataTables warning: JSON data from server could not be parsed. This is caused by a JSON formatting error. "

And the following error is triggered on the HTML Response (FF FireBug's Net XHR section)
"
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or '(' in /home/a4enterp/public_html/DataTables/php/table.exp_budget_expenses193.php on line 13
"

Can you please guide on what am I missing?

I have PHP 5.4 on both environments, tried the database connection on both and it works just fine

Hello,
Any comment on this one?
Thanks

Can you show us your file `table.exp_budget_expenses193.php` ?

Here:
[code]
<?php

/*
* Editor server script for DB table exp_budget_expenses193
* Automatically generated by http://editor.datatables.net/generator
*/

// DataTables PHP library
include( "lib/DataTables.php" );

// Alias Editor classes so they are easy to use
use
DataTables\Editor,
DataTables\Editor\Field,
DataTables\Editor\Format,
DataTables\Editor\Join,
DataTables\Editor\Validate;


// Build our Editor instance and process the data coming from _POST
Editor::inst( $db, 'exp_budget_expenses193' )
->fields(
Field::inst( 'master_id' ),
Field::inst( 'user_id' ),
Field::inst( 'debtor' )

I'd expect that error, at that point if you are using PHP less than 5.3. If you add:

[code]
echo phpversion();
[/code]

at the top of the file, what does the server then return? (just a sanity check)

Allan

It returns this:

PHPVersion :5.4.4
{"id":-1,"error":"","fieldErrors":[],"data":[],"aaData":[]}

i have the same problem:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or '('

on line 13
and my php version is 5.4.6.
Is there anything to do?

nicolas69

OK instead of :

[code] use
DataTables\Editor,
DataTables\Editor\Field,
DataTables\Editor\Format,
DataTables\Editor\Join,
DataTables\Editor\Validate;[/code]

put:

[code]use DataTables\Editor;
use DataTables\Editor\Field;
use DataTables\Editor\Format;
use DataTables\Editor\Join;
use DataTables\Editor\Validate;
[/code]

it works fine for me i hope this will help you.

allan

That's interesting - the multi-line syntax of `use` should be perfectly okay. Possibly something in PHP has changed... I'll install 5.4.6 on a machine and see if I get the same error. Thanks for your post.

you're welcome lol.
I'm trying to put both buttons for add/edit/delete ans the swf for copy/excel/pdf export but i can't ?
Is it possible to put them together or not?

allan

Certainly is. Just add the export buttons to the aButtons array for your Editor instance. What are you using at the moment?

Allan

hi allan,
I'm using this :
[code]"oTableTools": {
"sSwfPath": "TableTools/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf" ,
"sRowSelect": "multi",
"aButtons": [
{ "sExtends": "editor_create", "editor": editor },
{ "sExtends": "editor_edit", "editor": editor },
{ "sExtends": "editor_remove", "editor": editor }
]
},[/code]
if i remove de aButtons, i can see the swf in place of the buttons, but if i leave the abutons code, my swf dissapear, seems like they are in the same place. I want the swf to be at the right of the search input.

nicolas69

And for the css i use the original file datatables.editor.css and datatables.Tabletools.css

allan

[code]
"oTableTools": {
"sSwfPath": "TableTools/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf" ,
"sRowSelect": "multi",
"aButtons": [
{ "sExtends": "editor_create", "editor": editor },
{ "sExtends": "editor_edit", "editor": editor },
{ "sExtends": "editor_remove", "editor": editor },
'csv',
'copy' // etc
]
},
[/code]
