I think I have used this before and it worked, so I copied it from where I had used it before and changed the database name Ladydee Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150587-parse-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 mysql_select_db("brain-host,$conn) or die(mysql_error()); should be: mysql_select_db("brain-host",$conn) or die(mysql_error()); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150587-parse-error/#findComment-790984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deemurphy Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 OK, I have fixed the parse error, but I get an error on this line of the file now: header("Location: showtopic.php?topic_id=$topic_id"); which is line 87. I know that this will happen if more then one header is called. I there a way to redirect the header, turn if off and back on so that the page can show. As you can see it depends on what the use wants to do on which page will show.

Maq Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 What's the error? If it's a header error please read this. Next time use code tags. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150587-parse-error/#findComment-791149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
