PHP Mess up

Sparkum

Hey guys.

So I'm still fairly new to the website world, my friend gave me some code that was working perfectly, I thought I only cut and pasted a piece of code, found it didnt work, and put it back. Obviously I may have done something else though?

	// LOOP
if ( $ocquery->have_posts() ) : while ( $ocquery->have_posts() ) : $ocquery->the_post(); 
$content = preg_replace('/(<)([img])(\w+)([^>]*>)/', '', $content);
$content = get_the_title();
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt;', $content);
$url = get_permalink();
$img = get_the_post_thumbnail($the_post->ID, 'thumbnail');

			
			printf ('<li><div class="slide"> %s  <a href="%s"><input class="bluebutton blue" type="button" value="Click here to see this post!" />%s</a> </div></li>', $content, $url, $img,; ) 		endwhile;
			
endif;
    echo '</ul></div></div></div></div>';
wp_reset_query(); // reset the query

Would anyone be able to tell me where my "whoopsie" is, what I did was remove the $img, and try to put it infront of the $url, then put it back (obviously wrong though)

Thanks much appreciated.

Disclaimer: Don't know squat about PHP
Careful when copy/paste code, it can copy the formatting and introduce errors. If using windows I think you can eliminate this by copying with........ I'll google it and edit in a sec.

switch from using CTRL+V (Paste) to CTRL+SHIFT+V (Paste Plain Text).

Using This Website I feel it should be a 3 second fix but I cant seem to get it?

Bah got it

printf ('<li><div class="slide"> %s <a href="%s"><input class="bluebutton blue" type="button" value="Click here to see this post!" />%s</a> </div></li>', $content, $url, $img ); endwhile;

Put five ~ on a line above and below your code to properly format it, otherwise it's basically unreadable on this forum since Markdown will try to parse PHP symbols into formattable text.

Ah that looks much prettier, thanks for the tidbit of advice
