mysqldba Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 In add.php, line 2: <form action="<? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST"> The use of short form of PHP opening tags is deprecated, and has been removed entirely from the latest PHP versions IIRC. Try: <form action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyme Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Guys now im done in saving into the database and now my problem is, i want to display it the data save it from the db. Is there something missing in my code at news.php? <?php require_once('config.php'); //The following bit of code will select the news and order the articles by their id, so if you post an article, the same article will show up at the top of the list. $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news order by newsID desc"); while($n=mysql_fetch_array($query)){ $author=$n["newsAuthor"]; $subject=$n["newsSubject"]; $message=$n["message"]; $date=$n["date"]; echo "<b>$subject<br>$message<br>Posted by $author on $date"; } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flames Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 theres other ways of doing it but i usually prefer using the heredoc syntax, you can find out more about it on the php site. change this line echo "<b>$subject<br>$message<br>Posted by $author on $date"; to this line echo <<<EOT <b[color=red]r[/color]>$subject<br>$message<br>Posted by $author on $date EOT; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flames Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 note i didnt realise ignore the r bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 still wont work & it display into this Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in C:\wamp\www\Practice\news.php on line 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flames Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 that might mean multiple things either a missing } or ;. but it also could be coming from the heredoc syntax. you cant have anything other than echo <<<EOT on one line (no spaces), the stuff has to be on the next line, and similarly with EOT; it has to be on a seperate line with nothing else on that line. Check for any extra spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
