Novice parse error T_DOUBLE_ARROW

I'm starting to make my first steps into CakePHP 1.3, and I'm having a parse error I can't find. I'm trying the main tutorial and encountering this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW, expecting ')' in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/mysite.com/app/views/posts/index.ctp on line 11

the file affected is:

<h1>Posts</h1>
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>ID</th>
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Creation date</th>
    </tr>
    <?php foreach ($posts as $post): ?>
    <tr>
        <td><?php echo $post['Post']['id']; ?></td>
        <td><?php echo $this->Html->link($post['Post']['title'], array ('controller', => 'posts', 'action' => 'view', $post['Post']['id'])); ?></td>
        <td><?php echo $post['Post']['created']; ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</table>

Where am I wrong?

Solution

  • In this line

     <td><?php echo $this->Html->link($post['Post']['title'], array ('controller', => 'posts', 'action' => 'view', $post['Post']['id'])); ?></td>

    you need to remove the , after controller.

    And I think you need to add an ) after ´view´
