w3Schools AJAX Live Search Example not working

[acalder]

I have created all the files located here:AJAX Live SearchI have checked the code over a number of times (actually, I cut and pasted it) and I still get the following error when I try using it. I am not sure what I might be doing wrong. Any ideas?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /public_html/ajaxsearch/livesearch.php on line 16

It looks like the livesearch.php file from the w3schools site has some errors in it. Please replace it with this version:

<?php$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();$xmlDoc->load("links.xml");$x=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('link');//get the q parameter from URL$q=$_GET["q"];//lookup all links from the xml file if length of q>0if (strlen($q) > 0){  $hint="";  for($i=0; $i<($x->length); $i++)  {	$tmp = $x->item($i);	$y = $tmp->getElementsByTagName('title');	$z = $tmp->getElementsByTagName('url');	$item = $y->item(0);	if ($item->nodeType == 1)	{	  //find a link matching the search text	  $child = $item->childNodes->item(0);	  if (stristr($child->nodeValue,$q))	  {		if ($hint=="")		{		  $z_item = $z->item(0);		  $z_child = $z_item->childNodes->item(0);		  $hint="<a href='" .		  $z_child->nodeValue .		  "' target='_blank'>" .		  $child->nodeValue . "</a>";		}		else		{		  $z_item = $z->item(0);		  $z_child = $z_item->childNodes->item(0);		  $hint=$hint . "<br /><a href='" .		  $z_child->nodeValue .		  "' target='_blank'>" .		  $child->nodeValue . "</a>";		}	  }	}  }}// Set output to "no suggestion" if no hint were found// or to the correct valuesif ($hint == ""){  $response="no suggestion";}else{  $response=$hint;}//output the responseecho $response;?>
