[Cartoweb-users] Write a plugin

[Jacolin Yves]

The aim of my plugin is to allow user to create new layers (postgis Layers) or 
to import data in postgis. My form is :
an input text for ther name of the layer, another one for the 1st column and a 
list for its type and a javascript code to add new input text and list box 
for another fields. Further fields will be add to create metadata (author, 
date, description, ...). Two columns will be create outomaticly (id and 
the_geom).
I just need to get these variables and create my layers in postgis using 
PEAR::DB.
I think this plugin is quiet easy (does it ?) to write and will be a good 
beginning for my first plugin.

My code for ClientLayersManagement is :
<?php
class ClientlayersManagement extends ClientEdit implements GuiProvider {
   public function replacePlugin(){
      return 'edit';
   }
    /**
    * Constructor
    */
    public function __construct() {
        $this->log =& LoggerManager::getLogger(__CLASS__);
        parent::__construct();
    }
    public function handleHttpPostRequest($request) {
         $test = $request['nameNewColunm1'];
    }
    public function handleHttpGetRequest($request) {}
}
?>

And I get this error :
"PHP Parse error:  parse error, unexpected T_STRING 
in /var/www/html/cartoweb3/projects/script/plugins/layersManagement/client/ClientLayersManagement.php 
on line 18"

Thanks,

Y.
