Please show the lines of code preceding that statement.  It's just a syntax error somewhere in your code where you missed a semicolon or whatever.

Pika, I thought you read Vulcan

Actually, the error message occurs in the line that starts echo "              </select></td>\r\n  ..., not in the $query = "SELECT * \r\n FROM `ad` "; line. You must have miss counted.

 

Oh, and no one is really going to help you troubleshoot that mess the way it is written, there's no reason for any code to be written that way. Where did you get that code?

I can give you a hint. Because someone removed most of the white space from that HTML/Javascript, the parts of it that look like {$...} are being parsed by php as a php variable within a string. However, the leading {'s are actually part of some Javascript if(){}else{} statements and are not part of php's {$...} syntax. Format that HTML/Javscript with some white-space/new-lines so that the Javascript does not look like php syntax and the php parser errors will be fixed.
