whats wrong with this single line

[Rifts]

echo '".($_POST['email'])."'; 

[vinpkl]

why are using opening and closing brackets.

 

also without seeing more code nobody can judge the problem.

echo '".($_POST['email'])."'; 

 

Yes.. Use something SIMPLE and correct, such as this:

 

echo $_POST['email'];

[Rifts]

here is the full code

 
<?php 


  $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("clients", $con);

echo '".($_POST['email'])."'; 

?>

 

im getting error Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in C:\wamp\www\homepage\google.php on line 150

which is that original line i posted

 

also here is where im getting "email" from

 

<?php

$extract = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM members ORDER BY `date` DESC");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows ($extract);

echo"Select USER: <select name='email'>";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($extract)) 
  
{
  echo '<option name="'.$row['firstname'].'('.$row['date'].')">'.$row['firstname'].' ('.$row['date'].')</option>';
}      

?>

[premiso]

echo '".($_POST['email'])."';

 

That is not proper syntax. Fix that to this:

echo $_POST['email'];

 

As stated earlier, or if you want the quotes to also be echo'ed out:

 

echo '"{$_POST['email']}"';

 

But yea, that was the error, you just had improper syntax so of course it would throw a syntax error. You may want to read more up on PHP Syntax to help you avoid this in the future.
