Nathan54AB Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'm a newbie to PHP programming, and for that matter any programming. I've been learning with Larry Ullman's PHP For the World Wide Web Second Edition. I'm in a section that's indroducing the "if" concept and wrote their sample script. Testing it, I get the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in directory\registration.php on line 26 For the life of me I can't figure out why it would be having this error and I can't spot any stray >'s (If that's what that error implies). Attached to this post is the file involved, registration.php. There is also a registration.html that the PHP file receives, but I'm not able to upload html files here.
