Title: syntax error, unexpected ‘”‘, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ Last modified: July 21, 2018 --- # syntax error, unexpected ‘”‘, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ * Resolved [kelcet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kelcet/) * (@kelcet) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-unexpected-expecting-or/) * Hi, plugin has been working fine for following code until update a few versions back. I reverted to old version and code would work. However I updated today and receive error. Cannot find my old copy so should fix current error. Thanks for your help. Code has been pulling last image that is uploaded to folder from webcam on island. You can see error on [nyc.nu](http://nyc.nu) * ``` $pictures = glob("TLIP/*.jpg"); $no_pictures = count($pictures)-1; // was missing ; $limit = $no_pictures-0; // was missing ; for( $i = $no_pictures; $i >= $limit; $i--){ // removed ; after $i-- echo ""; } ``` * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsyntax-error-unexpected-expecting-or%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [kelcet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kelcet/) * (@kelcet) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-unexpected-expecting-or/#post-10515082) * Had some comments about no current image. yachties use it to keep track of conditions in bay so did restore to Version 2.5.4. code works there. * [davdebcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davdebcom/) * (@davdebcom) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-unexpected-expecting-or/#post-10566444) * Does this version work (it does for me) * ``` $pictures = glob("TLIP/*.jpg"); $no_pictures = count($pictures)-1; $limit = $no_pictures-0; for( $i = $no_pictures; $i >= $limit; $i--){ echo ''; } ``` * Thread Starter [kelcet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kelcet/) * (@kelcet) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-unexpected-expecting-or/#post-10578666) * Hi, sorry for delay currently out of country and reliable computer will try when home. * Thread Starter [kelcet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kelcet/) * (@kelcet) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-unexpected-expecting-or/#post-10604109) * Hi with 3.0.5 On page I see… * $pictures = glob(“TLIP/*.jpg”); $no_pictures = count($pictures)-1; $limit = $ no_pictures-0; for( $i = $no_pictures; $i >= $limit; $i–){ echo ”; } * [davdebcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davdebcom/) * (@davdebcom) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-unexpected-expecting-or/#post-10604111) * Did you check the PHP checkbox? * Thread Starter [kelcet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kelcet/) * (@kelcet) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-unexpected-expecting-or/#post-10604114) * opps.
