[SOLVED] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';'

[hellonoko]

I'm sure this is something simple I am just not seeing but I can't find it. What am I missing here?

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home2/sharingi/public_html/emocowgirl/admin/ideas.php on line 23

 

Line 23 is:

   
      $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM IDEAS WHERE ID = '$ideatoedit'");

 

<?php

////////////////////////////////////////////////

$username = "sharingi_emo";
$password = "emo";
$hostname = "localhost";

$db_connect = mysql_connect( $hostname , $username, $password) or die ("Unable to connect to database");

mysql_select_db( "sharingi_emocowgirl" , $db_connect);

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

$action = $HTTP_GET_VARS['action'];
$ideatoedit = intval($HTTP_GET_VARS['item']);

if ( $action == "edit")
(

	$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM IDEAS WHERE ID = '$ideatoedit'");

	while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
	{
	}

	echo '<form action="ideas.php" method="get" name="ideas" id="ideas">';

First up, $HTTP_GET_VARS is depreciated. Use $_GET['action'] instead.

 

Second up.

 

   if ( $action == "edit")
   {

 

Parans need to be braces  ( should be {

[Maq]

You're using parentheses for your if and else statements on lines: 21 39 41 52
