Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

I Can't find the problem. The code:

mysql_query("insert into games(week, fight, league_id)values($_REQUEST['week'],'$_REQUEST[home_team]-$_REQUEST[guest_team]',$_REQUEST['home_league'])", $Link);

The error message:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

problem solved.

You should be sanitizing your data before using it in your query.

 

Also the mysql_* functions are deprecated. You should be using PDO or MySQLi.
