Stuck with a Broken Functions, cant figure it out.

[monkeytooth]

Hey People, Im stuck right now and I need some fresh eyes. Seems this functions someone made that I gotta fix is broken Im assuming maybe a missing bracket or one out of place.. but.. Im not seeing it, ive been staring at it for far to long tryin to fix it find the issue etc.. and its eluding me. Right now the error I am getting is "unexpected $end"

 

heres the function

 

function getlinkedinstoredContacts($user_id,$limit=10,$offset=1){
    $query = $this->db->get_where('cm_user_linkedin_contacts', array('user_id' => $user_id,'same_company'=>'Y'),$limit,$offset);
    if ($query->num_rows() > 0){
	$contacts = $query->result();

    //Loop throught the contact list
    foreach ($contacts as $key => $contact){
      $headline = $contact->headline;
      if (preg_match('/(at )| @ /', $headline)){$arr = preg_split('/(at )| @ /', $headline, 2);}
      elseif (preg_match('/,/', $headline)){$arr = preg_split('/,/', $headline, 2);}
      else{$arr[0] = $headline;$arr[1] = '';}
      $arr[0] = preg_replace('/^\s*/', '', $arr[0]);
      $arr[0] = preg_replace('/\s*$/', '', $arr[0]);
      $arr[1] = preg_replace('/^\s*/', '', $arr[1]);
      $arr[1] = preg_replace('/\s*$/', '', $arr[1]);
      $current_company_position = $arr[0];  // job_title
      $current_company_name=$arr[1];  //company
      //for testing 
      if ($counter > 21){unset($contacts[$key]);}
      else{
        $contact->job_title=$current_company_position;
        $contact->current_company=$current_company_name;
        if ($contact->picture_url == ''){
          $contact->picture_url = $this->config->item('base_url') . "static/images/avatar-large.jpg')";
          $contacts[$key]=$contact;
          $counter++;
	}
      }
      return $contacts;
    }
    return null;
  }

Just one of them days I suppose. Still bangin my head against the keys on this one. I just don't get it.. And Ill bet above anything else that my issue with this is something so small, so stupid.. and I'm just not seeing it.

[ccmcs]

are all your strings setup above the bit you pasted in?

 

$user_id etc

[monkeytooth]

When making a call to it, yes..

 

But Ive isolated the entire function in an otherwise empty php file. just to see if it would give me an error, and what error that might be, and its unexpected $end the only thing I can think of is a broken bracket, parenthesis or something to the effect there of, however I am just not seeing it for the life of me, and all in all it seems like the function from inspecting visually its all in place.

:'( Im just convinced everything on this project I am working on just hates me. Its one ghost bug after the other after the other. None of its my code originally, and working with it has been a nightmare.. unfortunatly theres not much I can do at the current time to improve on it much to make it better, im stuck making due with what I have to work with.

You're missing the ending bracket.  Your last bracket closes if ($query->num_rows() > 0)

[monkeytooth]

HAH wow, thats what I said, something entierly stupid somewhere that I am missing.. son of a bish, you know how many hours i spent lookin at that thing going over and over it and I still managed to miss that.. damn man.. thank you though for pointing it out..

You should get yourself an editor that highlights/aligns matching braces.  You should also work at consistency with your formatting (newlines, indents, etc.).  I use Notepad++ for my PHP work.

[monkeytooth]

you know I keep hearing about this NotePad++ lately known about it for a long time, I think your right might be time for a change

[ccmcs]

is dreamweaver a swear word around here? That highlights everything nicely... (awaits possible backlash?!)
