Template help - syntax error

Development
1

I’m sure I’m missing something very basic, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. I’m trying to build a template for the self-service-password local config file, but getting this error when expanding it:

ERROR in /etc/e-smith/templates//usr/share/self-service-password/conf/config.inc.local.php/10main: Program fragment delivered error <<syntax error at /etc/e-smith/templates//usr/share/self-service-password/conf/config.inc.local.php/10main line 24, near ") {">> at template line 1

The relevant line of the template fragment reads:

if ( $email eq "true" ) {

…and the whole fragment reads:

{
my @chars = ("A".."Z", "a".."z", "0".."9");
my $secret;
$secret .= $chars[rand @chars] for 1..12;

my $lang = ($ssp{'Lang'} || 'en');
my $email = ($ssp{'UseEmail'} || 'false');

$OUT .= <<EOF

}

}

What am I missing?

I’m not well versed in these, but from the readings it seems it’s missing a statement terminator:

$OUT .= <<EOF;

IIUC, the other ones without semicolon are enclosed between brackets that act as terminators, but the recommendation is to use semicolon.

That did indeed do the trick. Thanks! I’ll have to read up a bit on why it works without the semicolon in other contexts.

@danb35, I would be very interested if your work once it is finished!

Sometime this EOF gets something magic I am fed up to debug, for just one time I use it, for several I use :

$OUT.= q(

Vars are not replaced (you can write $plop) 

) ;



$OUT.= qq(

Vars are replaced (you must \$escape if it is not a var) 

) ;
