[dadamssg]

$postid = $_GET['id'];

[gevans]

well, that's exactly how u do it

[dadamssg]

well poop...i get a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE on that line

[gevans]

can you show em the few lines of code above and bellow it?

[RichardRotterdam]

You probably forgot a semicolon before the line you posted. can you show the code before that?

[dadamssg]

sure can

 

<?php
/*Get post id number and display info*/
include("caneck.inc")

$postid = $_GET["id"];

$cxn = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$passwd,$dbname)
          or die ("Couldn't connect");
	  
$quer = "SELECT * FROM test WHERE eventid = $postid";

$rsult = mysqli_query($cxn,$quer)
          or die ("Couldn't execute");
		  
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($rsult);
?>

$cxn = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$passwd,$dbname)
          or die ("Couldn't connect");
        
$quer = "SELECT * FROM test WHERE eventid = $postid";

$rsult = mysqli_query($cxn,$quer)
             or die ("Couldn't execute");
           
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($rsult);
?>
