Unexpected error in php code

Question

PHP newbie. Keep getting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO

with my code.

<?php
header('Location: http://www.dcaccountancyservices.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&tmpl=component&chronoform=EditClient&token='  echo $client['id']);
?>

Cannot figure out what the syntax error is. Thanks.

At the very end of your line, you have:

echo $client['id']);

You're trying to append the $client['id'] to the URL, so remove the echo and replace it with .:

header('Location: http://www.dcaccountancyservices.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&tmpl=component&chronoform=EditClient&token=' . $client['id']);

You have to concatenate the values:

<?php
header('Location: http://www.dcaccountancyservices.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&tmpl=component&chronoform=EditClient&token='  . $client['id']);

I'd say if the error message is too complicated for the OP, there is a problem with your answer because the code-example needs scrolling. ;) – hakre Oct 22 '12 at 12:46

try this

<?php
header('Location: http://www.dcaccountancyservices.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&tmpl=component&chronoform=EditClient&token='.$client['id']);
?>

You do not use echo when you want to concatenate a string, you use . (dot). So change the your header line to:

header('Location: http://www.dcaccountancyservices.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&tmpl=component&chronoform=EditClient&token='.$client['id']);
