Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in .... on line 192

Question

I have this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/u1/public_html/scripts/easypanel.php on line 192

When i run that on the local it's work, but on the real server it's not:

line 192 is:

if(isset($_POST['send_pass']))
{
    if($_POST['post_password'] == $password)
    {
        goto content;# = line 192   
    }
    else 
    {
        echo '<div class="box error">password incorrect</div><br>';
    }
}

...

content: 
    echo $content;

What's the problem?

Odd that it is complaining of T_STRING when there is no string on that line or the previous (except the array key, which is valid). You're sure that is 192? — Michael Berkowski

hope this script is not part of an include? the line number may not be correct. Remove that line from your code and see if it still complains — codingbiz

The goto operator is available as of PHP 5.3.

Please check the version of your php on the local.

you can type php -v in the terminal to see the version.

What sort of twisted language adds a goto statement as it matures?

You said your server version is 5.2. Thats what creating the problem. "goto" was introduced in 5.3. So you can either ask for an upgrade of the server version or stop using goto altogether because 5.2 does not support it. It works fine on local because on local you are using PHP version 5.3
