I'm testing an electron app that will use php for some business logics. If I run the app from my MAMP stack all will work correctly, but if I run the app using electron, I will recieve an uncaught syntax error unexpected token <
that is referenced to the <!DOCTYPE html>
of my templates file. I read about this problem here on SO that is related to the path of my js and css files, but I can't figure out how to fix it, this because the paths are correct. I have an header.php file that include all the <head>
code and it's required by all the templates files, is the problem caused by this?
header.php file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/bootstrap.min.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/fontawesome-all.min.css" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
dashboard.php template file:
<?php
require_once 'header.php';
?>
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-lg-4">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-img-top text-center">
<i class="fas fa-plus fa-2x"></i>
</div>
<a class="btn btn-link" href="add"><h4 class="text-uppercase">add info</h4></a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-img-top text-center">
<i class="fas fa-search fa-2x"></i>
</div>
<a class="btn btn-link" href="search"><h4 class="text-uppercase">search info</h4></a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Your header.php file is a HTML document. Since you require it, it will be interpreted as PHP which causes the syntax error.
Either create a valid PHP header file or print the contents from the header.php file. I would not recommend the later.
A simple solution would be:
