[Chameleon] Re: [Chameleon-dev] Creating your own widget.

[Jan Jansen]

Hi all,

I've started to walk through the tutorial for creating an utterly useless 
widget (still utterly usefull), but there's a bug in the following line:

 $szShowReport = strlen( $this->mszReport ) > 
0?'alert(\.$this->mszReport.'\')':;

 Probably has to do with escaping the quotes ?, but when I fix it like this:

$szShowReport = strlen( $this->mszReport ) > 0?'alert("' . $this->mszReport 
. '")':'';

, it gets stuck on the first following quote it finds (in the commented 
text) and produces the error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting 
T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING ,

ocurring in commented text " |  $aReturn['MyInitFunction'] = 
"MyInitFunction();\n";  "

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Jan Jansen
