After I pulled the last code updates to an AWS instance where a test environment is running, a page displayed HTTP Error 500. I'm using CodeIgniter and the AWS instance was set to run as "production" (SetEnv CI_ENV production on .htaccess), so I changed that to "development" to display PHP error messagens. That's when I get the following mesage.
An uncaught Exception was encountered
Type: ParseError
Message: syntax error, unexpected end of file
Filename: /var/www/html/flip/application/views/flip_list.php
Line Number: 58
Backtrace:
File: /var/www/html/flip/application/controllers/Flip.php Line: 131 Function: view
File: /var/www/html/flip/index.php Line: 315 Function: require_once
On my localhost environment it does not happen, the page is displayed without errors or warnings.
Localhost is running PHP 7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4. And the AWS instance is running PHP 7.0.14 on CentOS. CodeIgniter version is 3.1.3.
I checked flip_list.php and Flip.php, but I didn't find where the problem is.
The controller file (Flip.php) is 350+ lines long, so I'm posting it on a pastebin: https://pastebin.com/agyMuf1T
Below the code of the view (flip_list.php):
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
?>
<?php
$first = true;
$second = false;
foreach ($editions->result() as $edition) {
$edition_hash = $this->flip->encrypt_decrypt_edition_id($edition->edition_id, 'encrypt');
$date = date_create($edition->edition_date);
$date = date_format($date, 'd\/m\/Y');
if( $first ) {
$first = false;
$second = true;
?>
<div class="latest">
<div class="item">
<a href="<?php echo base_url('flip/'.$slug.'/view/'.$edition_hash); ?>" class="view-edition">
<img src="<?php echo $edition->edition_cover; ?>" class="edition-cover">
<span>Edição <?php echo $date; ?></span>
<span>Número <?php echo $edition->edition_number; ?></span>
</a>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
else {
if( $second ) {
$second = false;
?>
<div class="editions">
<div class="d-flex flex-row align-content-stretch flex-wrap">
<?
}
?>
<div class="item">
<a href="<?php echo base_url('flip/'.$slug.'/view/'.$edition_hash); ?>" class="view-edition">
<img src="<?php echo $edition->edition_cover; ?>" class="edition-cover">
<span><?php echo $date; ?></span>
</a>
</div>
<?php
}
} // foreach
?>
</div><!-- .d-flex -->
</div><!-- .editions -->
I'd like some help debbuging this. Thanks!
You probably have short tags (http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php) disabled on your test server. You have two choices, enable short tags in your php.ini or change <? to <?php. It's generally not considered great practice to use short tags, and errors like this are one reason why, so I'd suggest changing your tags to use <?php.
I'll post part of the view which has your short tag:
<div class="editions">
<div class="d-flex flex-row align-content-stretch flex-wrap">
<?
}
?>
<div class="item">
Unexpected end of file in server may happens as normally live server are on linux. And you may be testing on windows server so while transferring file it may be modified as windows and linux have different mechanism to denote new line. So, set as following(in Filezilla FTP Client): Go to Transfer > Transfer type > select Binary and again upload all of your view files.
