help with something i cant figure out

dadamssg · January 2, 2010

I have coded a page that works perfectly. I go in and out of php coding throughout the page but when i try to write some php code into a new area i get this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/inaggie1/public_html/look/indexx.php on line 59

line 59 contains ONLY the closing head tag and i'm inserting code well after line 59.

this is the php code i have at the very beginning of the page

<?php 
session_start(); 
include("caneck.inc"); 
include("logfunc.php"); 
include("header.php");
$_SESSION['goto'] = "index.php";

function snippet($text,$length=240,$tail="...") {
    $text = trim($text);
    $txtl = strlen($text);
    if($txtl > $length) {
        for($i=1;$text[$length-$i]!=" ";$i++) {
            if($i == $length) {
                return substr($text,0,$length) . $tail;
            }
        }
        $text = substr($text,0,$length-$i+1) . $tail;
    }
    return $text;
}


?>

but i don't know whats its throwing an error way in the beginning when im tryin to insert php way after that...ANY ideas?

We would need to see the relevant code. eg; A little prior too and a little after line 59.

As a resident of Aggieland, it's not always easy 


to know what's going on in town. We're forced to rely


on everything from radio and scribblings on blackboards,


to those annoying square fliers. I vote we consolidate 


our knowledge of all the happenings in town in one place...


right here. Let's work together to Beat the Hell Outta Boredom!

$cxn = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$passwd,$dbname) or die("Couldn't connect");
$sqv = "select * from poll_questions order by desc limit 1";
$resultv = mysqli_query($cxn,$sqv)
          or die (mysqli_error($result)); 
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($resultv);
?>
	 </div>


	<div id="leftcolumn"><div id="master">All Events</div>

the last piece of php code is what hangs it up. If i delete this section

<?php
$cxn = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$passwd,$dbname) or die("Couldn't connect");
$sqv = "select * from poll_questions order by desc limit 1";
$resultv = mysqli_query($cxn,$sqv)
          or die (mysqli_error($result)); 
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($resultv);
?>

it works perfect....but if i add it it throws that error way back on line 59

I'm thinking it's this line:

$resultv = mysqli_query($cxn,$sqv)
             or die (mysqli_error($result));

Try changing it to:

$resultv = mysqli_query($cxn,$sqv)
             or die (mysqli_error($cxn));
