parse error, unexpected ':'

[Ragnar]

I have a code to parse feeds and i have a problem with a tag

<itms:coverArt>

i've tried to put a \ or to remove it from the php like this
itms.':'.coverArt but then there is no data displaying.

Has anyone any ideas?

the code <img border="0" src='.$rs[itms:coverArt].' width="50">

and it gets the content from a script using this

var $itemtags = array('itms:artist','itms:album', 'link', 'author',
'category', 'itms:albumLink','itms:coverArt','comments', 'enclosure',
'guid', 'pubDate', 'source','itms:albumPrice');

thanks

It's fine that you copy a code excerpt, but you should copy at least a
complete sentence.

Given that the complete code reads something like this:

echo '<img border="0" src='.$rs[itms:coverArt].' width="50">';

Arrays in PHP accept two types of indexes, integers or strings. E.G.

echo $rs[0];
echo $rs['bar'];
$foo=0; echo $rs[$foo];
$foo='bar'; echo $rs[$foo];
define('foo', 0); echo $rs[$foo];
define('foo', 'bar'); echo $rs[$foo];


What's itms:coverArt supposed to be?

itms:coverArt is from a rss feed but udually they are formatted like this
<item>text</item> and not like this <item:stuff>text</item:stuff> and while
using the latest it gives a parse error

itms:coverArt id from a rss feed and usually they use another format as
<item>text</item> but this one uses <item:stuff>text</item:stuff> and using
this gives a parse error.

Sorry, typo!

define('foo', 0); echo $rs[foo];
define('foo', 'bar'); echo $rs[foo];

RSS is not PHP. Just can't just place it within your code :-?

If you learned yourself to use quotes when accessing array keys, you
wouldn't have this problem:

NOT: $foo[key]
BUT: $foo['key']

NOT: $rs[itms:coverArt]
BUT: $rs['itms:coverArt']
