[SOLVED] T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING Error

[walkonet]

Hello all ive been folowing a book (PHP and MYSQL for dynamic website by Larry Ullman)

and ive created a basic show records page that basically shows the users that are registed to the site. now im on a script that will delete the user from the databse and I got this error: [color=red]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\wamp\www\PHPScript\delete_users.php on line 70[/color]

ive check the coding 4 times and found alot of missing '{' , '}' but i cant seem to find the problem in this one.

here the code for delte_users.php: NOTE: line 70 is designated in red.

[code]<?php # Delete Users delete_users.php

//This page deletes users!!!
//This page is accessed through view_users.php

$page_title = 'Delete A User';
include('./includes/header.html');

//Check for a valid iser ID, through GET or POST
if( (isset($_GET['id'])) && (is_numeric($_GET['id'])) ) {//Accessed through view_users.php
$id = $_GET['id'];
} elseif ( (isset($_POST['id'])) && (is_numeric($_POST['id'])) ) {
$id = $_POST['id'];
} else { //no valid id kill the script.
echo '<h1 id="mainhead>Page Error!</h1>
<p class="error">this page has been accessed in error.</p><p><br /></p>';
include('./includes/footer.html');
exit();
}

require_once('./connect/mysql_connect.php');

// Check to see if the form has been submitted.
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {

if($_POST['sure'] == 'Yes') {//delete them

//Make the query.
$query = "DELETE FROM users WHERE user_id=$id";
$result = @mysql_query ($query); //Run the query.

if(mysql_affected_rows() == 1)  {//if it ran ok
//print a message
echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Delete A User</h1>
<p>The user has been deleted.</p><p><br /></p>';

} else { //if it didnt run ok
echo '<h1 id="mainhead">System Error!</h1>
<p class="error">The user could not be deleted because of a system error.</p>';
//public message
echo '<p>' . mysql_error() . '<br /><br />Query: ' . $query . '</p>'; //debugging message
}

} else { // wasnt shure about deleting the user.
echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Delete A User</h1>
<p>The user HAS NOT been deleted.</p><p><br /><br /></p>';
}

} else { //Show the form

//Retrieve users information
$query = "SELECT CONCAT(last_name, ',', first_name) FROM users WHERE user_id=$id";
$result = @mysql_query ($query); //run the query.

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {//valid user_id show the form.

//Get the users information.
$row = mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_NUM);

//Create the form.
echo '<h2>Delete A User</h2>
<form action="delete_users.php" method="post">
<h3>Name: ' . $row[0] . '</h3>
<p>Are you sure you want to delete this user?<br />
<input type="radio" name="sure" value="Yes" />Yes
<input type="radio" name="sure" value="No" checked="checked" />No</p>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></p>
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $id '" />
[color=red]</form>';[/color]

} else { //not a valid user.
echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Page Error!</h1>
<p class="error">This page has been accessed in error.</p><p><br /><br /></p>';
}

} //end main submit conditional.

mysql_close(); //close connection

include('./includes/footer.html');
?>[/code]

any help would be very much appriciated!

You're missing the dot to close out your concatonation in the line above:
[code]
// change this:
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $id '" />

// to this:
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $id . '" />
[/code]
