tarleton Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi guys, just playing around with some PHP and MYSQL as of current I have a html form which sends info to a file called formindb.php. Which then posts it into a mysql database, however I keep getting: Parse error: parse error in C:\xampp\htdocs\MODULE\formindb.php on line 14 Any help appreciated below is a copy of the formindb.php script: <?php $con = mysql_connect("(module).localhost","matchreport","matchreport"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("module", $con); $your_team=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['your_team']); $opp_team=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['opp_team']); $date=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['date']); $time=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['time']); $g_name=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['opp_team']); $sql="INSERT INTO form_data (your_team, opp_team, date, time, g_name) VALUES ('$your_team','$opp_team', '$date', '$time', '$g_name')"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "Match Report has been added!."; mysql_close($con); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/168272-parse-error-newbie/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
