[SOLVED] Parse Error - expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'

[twilitegxa]

Can anyone help figure out what I am missing? Here is the error being produced upon opening the page:

 

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in C:\wamp\www\addentry.php on line 62

 

And here is the code:

 

<?php
if ($_POST['op'] != "add") {
//havent seen the form, so show it
$display_block = "<h1>Add An Entry</h1>

These are lines 60-63:

 

//add to master_name table
$add_master = "insert into master_name values ('', now(), now(),
	'$_POST['f_name']', '$_POST['l_name']')";
mysql_query($add_master) or die(mysql_error());

[ignace]

$add_master = 'insert into master_name values (NULL, now(), now(), ' . $_POST['f_name'] . ', ' . $_POST['l_name'] . ')';

 

you can't use a ' between ' (the same applies for ") it breaks your code. This error occurs when php tries to parse everything in "

Thanks! I just took out all the single quotes between the first set of single quotes, and that fixed the problem! :-)
