hi folks! i'm a php/mysql newbie and have a problem with the following command: [i]$query = "select dev_name, inv_nr from devices, dev_det where dev_key = '" . $_GET["id"] . "' and dev_det_key_sec = '" . $_GET["id"] . "' and komp_typ = "Hauptkomponente";[/i] as a result i get this: [b]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /server/apache/htdocs/mysql_test.php on line 2908 [/b] and line 2908 is what i've written above. is it possible that i have to use [b]\[/b] in front of a [b]"[/b]? can someone tell me whats wrong with the string? thx n cheers roca
