Extremely Basic Error

[kevh26]

Hi I'm getting the Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING error for line 16 of the below coding, it's only a simple script to import values from a Post action on a previous form into a MySQL database, but for some reason or another... i just can't figure out why this won't work:

 

_<?php

_{$empno = $_Post['HRNo'];}

_{$surname = $_Post['name'];}

_{$course = $_Post['Test'];}

_{$score = $_Post['Accuracy'];}

_{$coursedate = $_Post['date'];}

 

 

_{mysql_connect ("localhost", "root", "11001001") or die ('Error: ' . mysql_error());}

_{mysql_select_db ("elearning");}

 

_{$query="INSERT INTO details (HRNo, name, test, accuracy, date)VALUES ('".$empno."', '".$surname."', '".$course."', '".$score."', '".$coursedate."')}

 

_{mysql_query($query) or die ('Error updating database');}

 

_{{echo "Database Updated With: ".$empno." ".$surname." ".$course;}}

 

_?>

Any reason you decided posted your code so small we can't read it?

Line 12 is missing a closing quote and a semi-colon - ";

Sorry Thorpe, click subscript to show it as being separate from the question, probably better options though!

 

PFMaBiSmAd, thanks for that, i knew it'd be something completely obvious... only issue i've got now is getting it to connect to localhost,  i'm not sure if i've set up my MySQL server and database correctly so that a PHP script on a website will connect ok, or if it's even possible!

Yep, just click the button that has the # on it or

. Both will place the selected code into a box that looks different from the rest of the message.
