pcw Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi, I have the following script and am using it to display the members username. Ideally I would like the result to be displayed in between the <h2></h2> tags next to Welcome but no matter what I try it wont work. However the information is displayed in the first part of the script. I have indicated the part that correctly displays the information, but how do I display it elsewhere in the page? <?php session_start(); // This checks to make sure the session variable is registered // WARNING: DO NOT DELETE THE FOLLOWING LINE OF TEXT if( isset($_SESSION['username']) && isset($_SESSION['sid'])) { // You are free to edit the following code to suit your requirements include_once("../../data/server.php"); include_once("../../lib/userdata.php"); // THIS BIT WORKS AND DISPLAYS THE USERNAME $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members") or die(mysql_error()); Print "<table border cellpadding=3>"; while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) { Print "<tr>"; Print "<th>Username:</th> <td>".$info['username'] . "</td> "; //////////////////////////////////////////// PRINT <<<HOME <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>$siteName</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../userstylesheet.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <div id="page"> <img alt="" src="../../images/leftCurve" height="6" width="6" id="left" /> <img alt="" src="../../images/rightCurve.gif" height="6" width="6" id="right" /> <div id="pageName"> <h1>$siteName</h1> </div> <div id="pageNav"> <div id="sectionLinks"> <a href="index.html">Home</a> <a href="register.html">Register</a> <a href="login.html">Login</a> <a href="search.html">Search</a></div> </div> <div id="content"> <div class="feature"> <h2>Welcome </h2> <p>This is the demonstration home.html template.

fenway Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 <h2> is an html attribute -- not mysql. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/230363-problems-displaying-retrieved-data/#findComment-1186291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcw Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 and <td> is an html attribute not mysql but you can still display results between <td></td> so i believe that is irrelevant. I just need a way to display ".$info['username'] . " anywhere else on the page, but I get an error. If it is displayed between the <h2></h2> tags, I get this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/tropicsb/public_html/MemberSiteMaker/templates/members/home.php on line 50 even happens if I end the <<<TAG at <h2> And use Print ".$info['username'] . "; and then restart the <<<TAG at </h2> I still get the same error.

fenway Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Again, that's a PHP error. There's a PHP help forum for that. If your DB query isn't failing, you're in the wrong place.
