Syntax error when using file functions in my codeigniter model

Question

I am developing an e-commerce site using codeigniter. When I use file functions such as fopen, fclose, it shows a syntax error in the model class. Does anyone know how to fix this? I added an auxiliary file "file" to autoload.php. I checked the syntax error in both NetBeans and Dreamweaver. Here I add a class sample with the problem I am facing

<?php Class amazon extends CI_Model { var $feed = <<<EOD <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd"> <Header> <DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion> <MerchantIdentifier>M_EXAMPLE_123456</MerchantIdentifier> </Header> <MessageType>Product</MessageType> <PurgeAndReplace>false</PurgeAndReplace> <Message> <MessageID>1</MessageID> <OperationType>Update</OperationType> <Product> <SKU>INTRUG8888888</SKU> <StandardProductID> <Type>ASIN</Type> <Value>B0EXAMPLEG</Value> </StandardProductID> <ProductTaxCode>A_GEN_NOTAX</ProductTaxCode> <ItemPackageQuantity>1</ItemPackageQuantity> <NumberOfItems>100</NumberOfItems> <DescriptionData> <Title>Balaji53444</Title> <Brand>TESTERCLOTHING</Brand> <Description><![CDATA[INTRUGTEST123 Test description of test product.]]></Description> <BulletPoint>Test 3 Meterial</BulletPoint> <MSRP currency="USD">0.10</MSRP> <Manufacturer></Manufacturer> <ItemType>example-item-type</ItemType> </DescriptionData> <ProductData> <Clothing> <VariationData> <Parentage>child</Parentage> <Size>Small</Size> <Color>White</Color> <VariationTheme>SizeColor</VariationTheme> </VariationData> <ClassificationData> <ClothingType>Shirt</ClothingType> <Department>Mens</Department> <StyleKeywords>Apparel</StyleKeywords> <ColorMap>White</ColorMap> <InnerMaterial>White</InnerMaterial> <OuterMaterial>White</OuterMaterial> <Season>All Seasons</Season> <CollarType>Crew</CollarType> <SleeveType>Short</SleeveType> <IsAdultProduct>false</IsAdultProduct> </ClassificationData> </Clothing> </ProductData> </Product> </Message> </AmazonEnvelope> EOD; var $marketplaceIdArray = array("Id" => array('A333NV4543ZUPX1J3X')); var $feedHandle = fopen('php://temp', 'rw+'); } ?> 

Answer 1

fopen is not a codeigniter function, but is the main php function. Please execute this file via PHP as your code does not seem to have a syntax error.

Answer 2

what is this var ? :)

var deprecated in PHP 5. Remove this var and it will not give an error.

change the end of the file as follows: (or just delete var )

 $marketplaceIdArray = array("Id" => array('A333NV4543ZUPX1J3X')); $feedHandle = fopen('php://temp', 'rw+');
