Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end

genzedu777 · September 26, 2010

Hi guys

I need some help in my coding, I have received this error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in D:\inetpub\vhosts\championtutor.com\httpdocs\9.2_wilson.php on line 218"

This error is referring to my last line, right after </html>, I don't really understand what it means, can someone explain the definition of the error to me?

Thanks

the error usually means that you haven't closed an IF or loop with the closing bracket }, or that you closed the loop but left off a semi-colon somewhere within it.

(in this case, i think it's an open IF.)

instead of posting everything with styles and stuff could you maybe just post the stuff on the line the error is referring too?

BlueSkyIS · September 26, 2010

the error is referring to the very last line in the file, which is: (nothing)

that nothing is the problem: unexpected $end

BlueSkyIS · September 26, 2010

okay, i hate to give it away, but the problem is probably lack of a closing bracket for this IF statement:

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

I second the above. Also, you echo a "success" message to the user without doing anything to verify the query actually inserted anything. You should check for errors, then verify the record was inserted with mysqli_affected_rows().
