PHP Parse Error '='

[za]

Hello,

I am trying to follow the code igniter tutorial. It's the news section[1]. When I tried to run it, it failed.

The apache error log shows:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '=' in /var/www/ci/application/models/news_model.php on line 18

Line 18 is:

query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('slug' => $slug));

What caused this problem? I am using codeigniter 2.1.4 and PHP 5.3.6

The error message indicates your problem very clearly, you missed the $ sign before the variable query.

$query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('slug' => $slug));
