parse error

[andy_b_1502]

Hi everyone.

 

Can someone help me fix this code:

 

<?PHP
include('db.php);
$query = "SELECT * FROM companies;
$result = mysql_query($query) ;
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['what_services'] . " - " . strlen($row['what_services']);
}
?>

 

on line 6 it has a parse error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /hermes/bosweb25a/b109/ipg.removalspacecom/services_001.php on line 6

Look at your double quotes....

there's an open but dont know where to close? where do they go?

And the single-quote(s) above those...

 

You need to be using an editor with code highlighting and use <?php (lowercase) for your opening php tag (at least the forum highlighting doesn't see the <?PHP, perhaps your current editor doesn't either.)

which editor would you suggest using? im using dreamweaver at the minute?

the correct code is this, thanks guys

 

<?PHP
include('db.php');
$query = "SELECT * FROM companies";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['what_services'] . " - " . strlen($row['what_services']);
}
?>

I use notepad++ - http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

 

Dreamweaver has never been very server-side code aware.
