I am trying to tidy up my code and make it able to run using PHP 5.5.12.

I have a syntax error that I can't see why it is giving this error.

The code is being run on localhost with php.ini error set to E_ALL.

$optionsHTML = "<select name=\"Event\">\r\n";

This works on the live file, but it has a very limited php.ini file.
I don't think you will need all of the code, but I will post just in case:

<?php
include ("connect_Verses4Cards_LOCAL.php");
$conn = get_db_conn_verse();


$display_block="";
$Events ="";
$Events_info['id'] ="";
$Events_info['Event_Type'] ="";
$Mood_info['id'] ="";
$Mood_info['Event_Sub_Type'] ="";"
//Function to build select options based on passed array
$Events = array($Events_info[id], $Events_info[Event_Type]); 
buildSelectOptions($Events);
function buildSelectOptions($options)
{
$optionsHTML = "<select name=\"Event\">\r\n";

foreach($options as $id => $label)
{
$optionsHTML .= "<option value='{$id}'>{$label}</option>\n";
}
return $optionsHTML;
}   
 
//Run query to get the ID and Name from the table
//Then populate into an array
$clist_sql = "SELECT id, Event_Type FROM Events ORDER BY id";
$clist_res= mysqli_query($conn, $clist_sql) or die(mysqli_error($conn));
if (mysqli_num_rows($clist_res) < 1) {
	//this Event not exist
	$display_block = "<p><em>You have selected an invalid Event.<br/>
	Please try again.</em></p>";
}
$Events = array();
while($Events_info = mysqli_fetch_array($clist_res)) {
       
        $Events [$Events_info['id']] = $Events_info['Event_Type'];
}
$EventOptions = buildSelectOptions($Events);

//Function to build select options based on passed array
$Mood[] = array($Mood_info['id'], $Mood_info['Event_Sub_Type']); 
buildSelectOptions1($Mood);
function buildSelectOptions1($options)
{
$optionsHTML = "<select name=\"Mood\">\r\n";

foreach($options as $id => $label)
{
$optionsHTML .= "<option value='{$id}'>{$label}</option>\n";
}


return $optionsHTML;
}   
 
//Run query to get the ID and Name from the table
//Then populate into an array
$clist1_sql = "SELECT id, Event_Sub_Type FROM Event_Sub ORDER BY id";
$clist1_res= mysqli_query($conn, $clist1_sql) or die(mysqli_error($conn));
if (mysqli_num_rows($clist1_res) < 1) {
	//this Mood not exist
	$display_block = "<p><em>You have selected an invalid Mood.<br/>
	Please try again.</em></p>";
}
$Mood = array();
while($Mood_info = mysqli_fetch_array($clist1_res)) {
       
        $Mood [$Mood_info['id']] = $Mood_info['Event_Sub_Type'];
}
$MoodOptions = buildSelectOptions1($Mood);

My experience is limited, so any help would be appreciated! :confused:

I have corrected that typo, but still getting errors:
Notice: Use of undefined constant id - assumed 'id' in C:\wamp\www\1066mk4\Alt_inputform3.php on line 15
&
Notice: Use of undefined constant Event_Type - assumed 'Event_Type' in C:\wamp\www\1066mk4\Alt_inputform3.php on line 15
&
Notice: Array to string conversion in C:\wamp\www\1066mk4\Alt_inputform3.php on line 53
Errors 1 & 2,  I have defined these constants in lines 8 & 9.  Have I not done this correctly?

As for the 3rd error I have a similar line on line 23, but it does not error on that line.
I thought it may be the constant $optionHTML were the same in both cases so I added a 1 to the second instance.

Here is the modified code:

<?php
include ("connect_Verses4Cards_LOCAL.php");
$conn = get_db_conn_verse();


$display_block="";
$Events ="";
$Events_info['id'] ="";
$Events_info['Event_Type'] ="";
$Mood_info['id'] ="";
$Mood_info['Event_Sub_Type'] ="";
$optionsHTML ="";
$optionsHTML1 ="";
//Function to build select options based on passed array
$Events = array($Events_info[id], $Events_info[Event_Type]); 
buildSelectOptions($Events);
function buildSelectOptions($options)
{
$optionsHTML = "<select name=\"Event\">\r\n";

foreach($options as $id => $label)
{
$optionsHTML .= "<option value='{$id}'>{$label}</option>\n";
}
return $optionsHTML;
}   
 
//Run query to get the ID and Name from the table
//Then populate into an array
$clist_sql = "SELECT id, Event_Type FROM Events ORDER BY id";
$clist_res= mysqli_query($conn, $clist_sql) or die(mysqli_error($conn));
if (mysqli_num_rows($clist_res) < 1) {
	//this Event not exist
	$display_block = "<p><em>You have selected an invalid Event.<br/>
	Please try again.</em></p>";
}
$Events = array();
while($Events_info = mysqli_fetch_array($clist_res)) {
       
        $Events [$Events_info['id']] = $Events_info['Event_Type'];
}
$EventOptions = buildSelectOptions($Events);

//Function to build select options based on passed array
$Mood[] = array($Mood_info['id'], $Mood_info['Event_Sub_Type']); 
buildSelectOptions1($Mood);
function buildSelectOptions1($options)
{
$optionsHTML1 = "<select name=\"Mood\">\r\n";

foreach($options as $id => $label)
{
$optionsHTML1 .= "<option value='{$id}'>{$label}</option>\n";
}


return $optionsHTML1;
}   
 
//Run query to get the ID and Name from the table
//Then populate into an array
$clist1_sql = "SELECT id, Event_Sub_Type FROM Event_Sub ORDER BY id";
$clist1_res= mysqli_query($conn, $clist1_sql) or die(mysqli_error($conn));
if (mysqli_num_rows($clist1_res) < 1) {
	//this Mood not exist
	$display_block = "<p><em>You have selected an invalid Mood.<br/>
	Please try again.</em></p>";
}
$Mood = array();
while($Mood_info = mysqli_fetch_array($clist1_res)) {
       
        $Mood [$Mood_info['id']] = $Mood_info['Event_Sub_Type'];
}
$MoodOptions = buildSelectOptions1($Mood);

You need to surround associative array indexes with quotes, unless they're a variable. So,

$Events_info[id], $events_info[Event_Type]

needs to be either

$Events_info['id'], $events_info['Event_Type']

or

$Events_info[$id], $events_info[$Event_Type]

As for the second error type, you're assigning an associative array into an indexed array on line 45, so $label in your foreach() on line 53 is actually an array still.
