php - Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting :: (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM)

I have the following code

define("SCRIPT_URL", "");
function ifScriptFolder() {
    if(isset(SCRIPT_URL) && !empty(SCRIPT_URL)) {
        echo "/".SCRIPT_URL."/";
    } else {
        echo "/";
    }
}

but it's giving me the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting :: (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM) in *(path)* on line 3

Can anyone see what's going wrong here or how to fix it?

Answer

If you trying to determine if constant exists, then try to use defined() or constant(), not isset().

---

From php.net:

Function defined():

Returns TRUE if the named constant given by name has been defined, FALSE otherwise.

Function constant():

Returns the value of the constant, or NULL if the constant is not defined.

---

Fixed function:

function ifScriptFolder() {

    echo defined('SCRIPT_URL') ? "/" . constant('SCRIPT_URL') . "/" : "/"
}

UPD:

The defined() function is a better solution for this, because it will not emit E_WARNING if constant was not defined.
