Hi,
My experience in PHP is very limited. I downloaded a roster script, and it appeared to install correctly, but when I go to the admin page I get this error:
Parse error:  parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in rosteradmin.php on line 25

Here's the script:
[code]  1: <?php

  7: define( 'DB_PATH' , "./" );

Use HEREDOC syntax if you have a lot of HTML to echo

But yeah do what shocker-z sys. You need to escape your double quotes in your echo statement. You cannot use double quotes in an echo statement if you start of your echo with a double quote. This is the correct way:

[code=php:0]echo "<form action=\"page.php\" method=\"post\">";[/code]


Or use HEREDOC for large HTML Blocks:
[code=php:0]echo <<<HTML
<form action="page.php" method="post">
  .. html here ..
</form>
HTML;[/code]

I have saved you the hassel of correcting the errors for you. I also noticed you had a few syntax errors and unneeded code.

Note do not indent or put anything before or after any instance of HTML; otherwise you'll get errors.

Plus whilst going through your code I noticed you dont valid urser input. Never use raw user input. Otherwise your SQL Queries will be prone for SQL Injection attacks, which is not good. At lease use mysql_real_escape_string to help prevent this on your input vars for example:
[code]$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);[/code]

Thanks alot  :D Where do I put that code ? $name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
PS - I didn't write the script. I'm very noobish when it comes to PHP  :o

That file did the trick, but unfortunately, the script isn't realy what I wanted  :(
It's very bland, and doesn't give much detail. I'm looking for something more like this:
[url=http://www.the-rota.com/]http://www.the-rota.com/[/url] (Click on ROSTER).
I'd like to have something I could integrate into My site like that, and have more detail  ;D

Nobody is going to write that for you, but the basics are the same as the script you now have that works.  Just work at adding whatever detail you decide you want.  Post your code as you run into problems.

It'll be a fine learning experience.
