Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

[lozzaSoton]

Hey,

 

I know this is really basic problem but i would really appreciate some help. I am receiving this error:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';'

 

on line 16 of the following code:

 

 

<?php

require_once 'connect.php';

 

if ($_POST ['criterion'] == 'c'){

$status = 'current';

}

else{

$status ='left';

}

 

$listings = mysqli_query($connect, "SELECT * FROM student WHERE status ='".$status."'");

 

 

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_query($listings))

{

echo  'Name:' $row['name'] . " " .' Date of Birth:' $row['dateOfBirth'] . " " . 'Gender:' $row['gender'] . " " .'Email:' $row['email']. " ".;

}

 

echo '<br />';

  }

?>

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have an extra . on the end.

...and are missing a few of them (on the same line). Gotta have them between strings and variables just like you do between strings and strings.
