Syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

[webdevdea]

I found a tutorial on youtube, but for some reason I get this error when I submit

its on line 14 $txt="<div id="mag"> <font color="red"> Messaggio inviato da: ".$utente."<br/><br/>"; 

<?php
$utente=htmlspecialchars($_POST["username"]);

$messaggio=htmlspecialchars($_POST["messaggio"]);
$data= date("d/m/Y M:i:s");
$msg="msg.TXT";

if ($utente==""){
	echo "Inserisci username";
} elseif($messaggio="") {
	echo "Inserisci un messaggio";
} else {
		 $guestbook = fopen($msg,"a");
		 $txt="<div id="mag"> <font color="red"> Messaggio inviato da: ".$utente."<br/><br/>";
		 $txt .="Messaggio: ".$messaggio. "<br/><br/>";
		 $txt .= "Messaggio scritto il:".$data."</font></div>";
		 fwrite($guestbook,$txt);
		 fclose($guestbook);
		 echo '<a href ="http://localhost/home.php">Torna ella home</a>';
		 }

If you want to put "s inside a " string then you have to escape them. Otherwise how is PHP supposed to know where the end of the string is?

$txt="
  Messaggio inviato da: ".$utente."

";Since you're using HTML you can also use 's instead, either for the string or for the quotes inside it.


$txt="
  Messaggio inviato da: ".$utente."

";
$txt='
  Messaggio inviato da: '.$utente."

";

You don't learn anything by just copying and pasting (or poorly transcribing) code then running to experts for help you know.

The error is right there.

The webserver runs as a restricted user and generally does not have write permissions to the filesystem unless you specifically allow it those permissions.

I didnt copy and paste code, you cant do that off of youtube anyway, I worked through the tutorial, I have some other versions that were not working and I scrapped them all looked for an alternative and WOW how hateful..
