Getting an error with HEREDOC

[Jragon]

My error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_START_HEREDOC in C:\xampp\htdocs\movie\table2.php  on line 22

 

My code:

<?php
    //connect to mysql
    include("connect.php");

    //make sure your using the right database
    mysql_select_db('moviesite') or die(mysql_error);

    //retrive information
    $query = 'SELECT
            movie_name, movie_year, movie_director, movie_leadactor, movie_type
        FROM
            movie
        ORDER BY
            movie_name ASC,
            movie_year DESC';
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error);

    //determine number of rows in returned result
    $num_movies = mysql_num_rows($result);

    $table <<<ENDHTML
    <div align="center">
    <h2>Movie Review Database</h2>
    <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="width: 70%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
        <tr>
            <th>Movie Title</th>
            <th>Year of Release</th>
            <th>Movie Director</th>
            <th>Movie Lead Actor</th>
            <th>Movie Type</th>
        </tr>
        <?php
        //loop through the results
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
            extract($row);
            $table .= <<<ENDHTML
            <tr>
                <td>$movie_name</td>
                <td>$movie_year</td>
                <td>$movie_director</td>
                <td>$movie_leadactor</td>
                <td>$movie_type</td>
            </tr>
            ENDHTML;
        }

    $table .= <<<ENDHTML
    </table>
    <p>$num_movies Movies</p>
    </div>
    ENDHTML;
?>

 

Please tell me what went wrong

You left out the assignment operator.

 

$table = <<<ENDHTML

You're also going to get one here:

 

 </tr>
            ENDHTML;

 

Because there can't be any whitespace before the end of the heredoc block.  Needs to be:

 

 </tr>
ENDHTML;

 

Also, that heredoc with the while loop in it is going to cause issues.  You may have some things disorganized.
