CS5 goto Syntax Error

With the introduction of PHP 5.3, the powers that be introduced a new operator, "goto." See it in the manual here:
http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.goto.php
Example:
<?php
goto a;
echo 'Foo';
a:
echo 'Bar';
?>
Outputs Bar.
It's really quite handy.
However, Dreamweaver CS5 does not recognize this instruction and displays a syntax error where it both installed and at the target.
Is there a workaround or a way to add the tag to the application?

Thanks, I had re-written and seem to have it working ok but went back to original to test using string instead of text and that seems to work.
Thanks again for the help.

DreamWeaver CS4-CS5 Creates Syntax Errors

I cannot seem to find any info on this online but my DreamWeaver CS4 and a trial of DreamWeaver CS5 both create PHP and SQL queries that are loaded with syntax errors. I use XAMPP on my computer as I have done for years, and it works fine with phpMyAdmin and Komodo Edit. DreamWeaver has been a nifty app to quickly knock out simple applications in that past, but now I spend too much time manually correcting syntax errors in PHP page queries.
Has anyone there heard of a fix for this? Several other web developers have told me that they entirely abandoned DW CS* series and moved on to other IDE's rather than try to fix the problem.
EXAMPLE:
Here is what it wrote:
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE `mysite` SET about-yn=%s, about-h1=%s, about-p1=%s, about-p2=%s, about-p2-img=%s, about-p3=%s, about-p3-img=%s, about-p4=%s, about-p4-img=%s WHERE siteID=%s",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutyn'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['abouth1'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp1'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp2'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp2img'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp3'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp3img'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp4'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp4img'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['siteID'], "int"));
Here is what it should have written:
f ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
   $updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE `mysite` SET `about-yn`=\"%s\", `about-h1`=\"%s\", `about-p1`=\"%s\", `about-p2`=\"%s\", `about-p2-img`=\"%s\", `about-p3`=\"%s\", `about-p3-img`=\"%s\", `about-p4`=\"%s\", `about-p4-img`=\"%s\" WHERE `siteID`=\"%s\"",
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutyn'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['abouth1'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp1'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp2'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp2img'], "int"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp3'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp3img'], "int"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp4'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp4img'], "int"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['siteID'], "int"));

Dreamweaver will not produce such a mess when using column names which comply with the MySQL Naming Conventions and don´t contain (often quite problematic) hyphen characters.
That said, you´ll be on the safe side when renaming your columns by using underscores instead, example:
about_p3_img
Several other web developers have told me that they entirely abandoned DW CS* series and moved on to other IDE's rather than try to fix the problem.
Dreamweaver is certainly not a "perfect" PHP development IDE, but other IDEs (I use Komodo or Aptana at times and like them a lot...) aren´t perfect either. This may seem strange, but IMO Dreamweaver did do the - sort of - right thing by not letting the user get away with using such problematic characters, and that´s what those other IDEs I work with regretfully don´t pay attention to.

Syntax Error where ? ( CS5 )

I keep getting an error on this script, at line 3, but I can't see why?
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function fillScreen()
{ self.moveTo(0,0);
self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
</SCRIPT>
self.moveTo(0,0); <--- Syntax Error on Dreamweaver CS5
Any Ideas ? Thanks

Most modern browsers will block your attempt to do this nasty trick, you know?
Your job is to make the web page accommodate all visitors, not make the visitors accommodate the web page.
CS5 is not giving me a syntax error with that antique code (I'm guessing it's vintage 1990 or thereabouts).
Why do you need it?

"There is a syntax error on line .. Code hinting may not work untill you fix this error"

Hi guys, i hope your are all well and happy.
i have syntax error on new pages created from template (no errors in template) I use Dreamweave CS5
Thiis is part of my code:

I have highlited line with red (the dreamweaver telling me that syntax error is on this line)
Could anybody please help mw with this one
Thank you

I copy and pasted your code and got the error. I rewrote the code and it went away. I have had problems in DW with templates that gave me errors when everything was good but the only way to fix it was to redo the template from scratch. Sounds stange, but true. The only other thing, and the experts here might chime in is to put the scripts in comment tags like below.
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

I don't get the error now, so I am unsure what to do.

Code syntax error in header using a template?

Now running CS5 DW in a 32 bit Windows/Vista ultimate environment. The improved error messages have brought to light a problem that I apparently have had for a long time but didn't know it as CS4 simply flagged the line but no message.
Many of my site pages use a template http://a0540807.uscgaux.info/Templates/A0540807_Skeleton_2010.dwt
If I build or edit a page using this template in CS5, when in code view I see "There is a syntax error on line 57. Code hinting may not work until you fix this error. Line 57 is within the header of the page and is simply </script>
But if I simply detach the template from the page, the error goes away and it says no syntax errors.
So I am confused, is there an issue with the code or is this a Dreamweaver issue dealing with template usage?
While the error appears cosmetic, I keep wondering what to do to eliminate. Apparently, I have had this situation a long time as Line 57 is also identified back in CS4 but no error message until CS5. Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks.
Andy

I don't actually think there is any problem with your page...run one of your child pages through the W3C validator: http://validator.w3.org/ . I cast a page from your template and it came through with flying colors!

Designer syntax errors in correct code.

I have added some trigger code to a bound item. The designer syntax checker finds errors in the code but the generated form runs correctly. It appears that the syntax checker doesn't like DECLARE. The code doesn't do anything and I believe it is fine but I would like to get the syntax checker to stop complaining about it. Any suggestions on how I might arrange things to stop the syntax error messages would be appreciated. Here is the offending code with error messages:
DECLARE
item_id Item;
BEGIN
item_id := FIND_ITEM('M1.STATE');
END;
The Syntax Checker found the following errors:-
PLS-00103: (Line 1) Encountered the symbol "DECLARE" when expecting one of the following:
begin function package pragma procedure separate subtype type
use <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier>
form current cursor external language
The symbol "begin" was substituted for "DECLARE" to continue.
PLS-00103: (Line 20) Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following:
begin case declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod
null pragma raise return select update while with
<an identifier> <a double-quoted d
[2] error(s), [0] warning(s)

This will not work correctly in 32-bit Windows (or 64-bit) The type of wParam *must* be WPARAM, the type of lParam *MUST* be LPARAM, and for a dialog handler the return type should be BOOL. The old _export keyword no longer exists, and is not needed in
Win32. FAR is a macro with an empty body and its appearance in all places can be deleted. The quaint and confusing PASCAL keyword may still work, but it would be better to use the now-correct term CALLBACK. Since this is clearly antique Win16 code, there may
be other problems dealing with size of integers. The types int, long, DWORD, UINT and others all represent 32-bit values. The return type for window handlers must have the return type LRESULT, and for dialog handlers, BOOL. All wParam and lParam types must
be changed as I indicated. Note that for Win16, wParam was 16-bit and lParam 32-bit. For Win32, WPARAM, LPARAM and LRESULT are all 32-bit values, and for Win64 they are 64-bit values. Any place the code casts a pointer to an integer type, the code is inherently
incorrect. You must use types like INT_PTR, UINT_PTR, DWORD_PTR and other _PTR-suffixed types for such casts; in Win32 these are pointer-sized integer types (32-bit) and in Win64 they are pointer-sized integer types (64-bit). Types like int, long, DWORD, etc.
are 32-bit values in both Win32 and Win64. Converting code to run on Win32/64 from Win16 requires great caution, because the programming "standards" that were taught for Win16 did not plan on true platform portability, and programmers were taught
terrible techniques such as declaring wParam as WORD and LPARAM as long. And casting pointers to ints and back. All of these techniques lead to disaster.

Program giving syntax error in Production client

Hi Experts,
            I have moved an object into testing client its working fine there,but when it was moved from testing to production client.
            they are getting the error as "program ZSIOPCN contains syntax errors", when they are trying to create a variant in SE80 for this program from menu goto-->variants.
            Can anyone give any idea why this error comes, when the program is working fine in Quality client. Please give me suggestions,why it may happen.
all answers will be rewarded, Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Poorna.

hi Rodrigo Paisante,
           i didn't understand the point "one or more objects wold be moved too", means moving the same object many times.
           we generally move the workbench requests in a sequence, in which they released. This transport sequence is follwed in the same sequence when moving from one client to another client.
           can you eloborate the solution and possible cause for this problem. i am getting message error DB: 242.
Thanks,
Poorna

Can I prevent the rapid flashing which occurs when testing a Flash movie which has a syntax error?

I teach games development using Flash Professional CS6, and one of my students has photosensitive epilepsy. He is finding that the 'strobing' effect which occurs when he executes Test Movie on a movie with errors in its script is triggering headaches which can be a precursor to a fit. Obviously this is making it very difficult for him to complete his lab and assignment work. Is there any way of preventing a Flash movie from running if it contains a syntax error?
I have created a workaround by adding a bunch of extra frames to the start of the movie which will display a "SYNTAX ERROR" message if the script doesn't run - this gives my student a few seconds margin to quite the movie before the strobing begins. I have a single frame at the start with a goto statement which jumps over those error frames if the code doesn't have any syntax errors.
This seems to be working ok, but it's an ugly solution - does anyone know of a better way to deal with this?
Thanks.

1.In Preferences you can check "open test-movie in tabs".
2. Having done that you could write a jsfl-script which switches the focus (immeadiately after you test the movie) to another tab in the same register card, thus, forcing the possible "corrupt" testmovie in the background. If are no compiler errors , the testmovie can be made available by simply switching to the test-movie tab, if there are compiler errors, you can close it without having to look at it.
Another option would be to setup FlashDevelop as compiler trigger of Flash.
You have to change these basic properties in your project:
FlashDevelop will only launch the test movie if it compiles flawless, inside Flash.
FlashDevelop will act as a "bouncer" to Flash.

Syntax error: expecting rightparen before not.

Another textbook problem!
The step word for word in my textbook is:
The following four lines of code placed above the goto statement for the function called by the home button so the animation does not play when the Home button is clicked.
if (animationInstance.parent != null)
     animationinstance.parent.removeChild(animationInstance);
So.. I added this step to my code for the assignment and when I test it, I'm getting error:
Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 29 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before not.
Here's my entire code for the frame:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
var animationInstance:animationMC = new animationMC();
graphicsBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto2);
function goto2(Event:MouseEvent)
    gotoAndStop(2);
animationsBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto3);
function goto3(Event:MouseEvent)
    gotoAndStop(3);
formBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto4);
function goto4(Event:MouseEvent)
    gotoAndStop(4);
photoBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto5);
function goto5(Event:MouseEvent)
    gotoAndStop(5);
homeBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto1);
function goto1(Event:MouseEvent)
    if(animationInstance.parent ! = null)
        animationInstance.parent.removeChild(animationInstance);
    gotoAndStop(1);
Any help is appreciated!!

! = should be !=   no space ( ! is what they are calling "not" -- shoulda just used ! )
And I think I already mentioned to not use "Event" like you do

its seems unicode problem in your BADI code.
(1) goto se24 transaction.
(2) enter the class name ZCL_IM_HRPAD00INFTY===========CP '
(3) select the properties tab.
(4) in general data tick the check box 'Unicode checks active'.
if error persist then in same way you have also check all the implemetation of BADI's for unicode tick
Hope it will help you.

Syntax error to run a javaScript

Hi all
I want to run a JavaScript using AppleScript do script method.
First I create a document using
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
          set myDocument to make document
end tell
Now I run this script
set ScriptPath to alias "HD:private:var:root:Documents:Adobe Scripts:Source1.jsx"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
do script ScriptPath language javascript
end tell
But it give error
error "Adobe InDesign CS5.5 got an error: Syntax error" number 8
I also try :
set ScriptPath to alias "HD:private:var:root:Documents:Adobe Scripts:Source1.jsx"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
          set myDocument to make document
do script ScriptPath language javascript
end tell
No compile error
At run time give same error "Adobe InDesign CS5.5 got an error: Syntax error" number 8
If I create document using this:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
set myDocument to make document
end tell
and run Source1.jsx using Extend Script Toolkit CS5.5 then script run sucessfully.
My Java Script is :
#target indesign
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
with(myDocument.documentPreferences)
    pageHeight= "11i";
    pageWidth ="8.5i";
    facingPages=false;
    pageOrientation=PageOrientation.portrait;
    pagesPerDocument=1;
var myLayer= myDocument.layers.add();
myLayer.name="myFirstLayer";
myLayer.visible=true;
var masterspread = myDocument.masterSpreads.add(1);
masterspread.baseName="NewMasterPage";
masterspread.select(1919250519);
var myTextFrame=masterspread.textFrames.add(myDocument.layers.item("myFirstLayer"));
myTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6p", "25p", "30p", "30p"];
myTextFrame.contents = "Master Spread";
I do no understand where is Syntax error.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
          do script alias "HD:private:var:root:Documents:Adobe Scripts:Source1.jsx" language javascript
                    --> error "Syntax error" number 8
Result:
error "Adobe InDesign CS5.5 got an error: Syntax error" number 8
Thanks.

Hi Vamitul Thanks for reply
Now script run but i do not understand the behave of script
In Extend Script Toolkit CS5.5 script run sucessfully
with this
var myTextFrame=masterspread.textFrames.add(myDocument.layers.item("myFir stLayer"));
why it give error in AppleScript do script method ?
Thanks

Syntax error after upgrade to ECC6

Hi,
I have customized infotype and BAPI in SAP 4.6. After upgade to ECC6, my Infotype is working fine, but my BAPI give this error :
The following syntax error was found in the program SAPLZBAPI_HR :
"INCLUDE report "%_HR9000" not found."
If I goto SE38 to recreate %_HR9000, SAP not allow me to continue and appear message "Do not use any special character".
May I know how to resolve this problem ?
Thanks a million.
Regards,
Eric

Hi,
In the ECC6.0 version, it seems that one of the INCLUDE that was generated for that infotype in 4.6 C ending.. with words....HR9000 was not transported or not found for that infotype. Please check all the includes..
In SE38 you can enter the characters like %, so that error is coming
% means LIKE PATTERN ....HR9000 .
Hope you understood.

ANJI

TempInit, Line 2, Column 14     1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before minus.

Hey! First time posting here, I am a student taking classes on flash. I use Flash CC and obviously AS3. I've got a project I am working on, and have encountered a very frustrating problem. I have emailed my teacher but I thought I would ask around the web as well.
I get a compiler error saying:
tempInit, Line 2, Column 14
1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before minus.
I have tried commenting out the entire script, and I still get the same error. The weird thing is there is nothing on line 2, column 14. Line two simply reads:
stop();
I've also considered that I had some symbols named after keywords or with illegal characters that could somehow be causing this issue. It turns out I did, so I changed all suspected items to more appropriate names. Yet even after I did this, the error persists. I cannot find any other explanation as to why this error occurs at this point, hence why I am turning to the internet.
A notable factor here is that I have imported items from illustrator cs5, some of which had illustrator symbols included. These were the culprits with the first issue of illegal and keyword names; examples: "Mountain1-2" and "New Symbol"
Many thanks,
Lee
I'll paste my code here:

it appears i may have a corrupt image as a symbol in my library. I will have to replace each one manually one by one to see if this is indeed the problem. I am prepearing to leave out of town for the weekend, but I will update this as soon as a figure it out.
Thanks again

Syntax error: bad digit in number

I made a panel for ID cs5, the panel and buttons work fine.
But in the panel is one button with a script, if i click this button i get an syntax error, bad digit in number.
The script works fine on its own but not from the panel.
Any help is very much appreciated
thnx
Harald

Try to check this:
1) the script you insert in the button must not contain any kind of comment ( // or /* */ ) ( configurator doesn'accept any comment inside the button)
2) each statement is separated by a semicolon ( ; )
the syntax must be perfect
Anyway if you have difficult to find the problem you can link the button to the
Yourscript .jsx file
