Can you post the full code?

 

Orio.

Sometime these errors don't point to the line where the error occurs, but to the line where PHP gives up trying to figure out what you meant. Look for either a missing semi-colon or an unclosed quoted string on the lines preceding that line.

i figured it out, thanks

The variable name $4transvideospecifictype is illegal. I think you miss-placed that 4.

 

From the manual:

Variable names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores.

 

Orio.

your not allowed

to use numbers at the begining of varables ok.

line 293 is where it says "//other query for filelink"

[redarrow]

<?php

$fetcheduserid = " '".$row['userid']."' ";

?>

[itsmeArry]

and also

 

remove the " ` " in the query

 

$query5 = "UPDATE `userinfo` SET `userlink`='$userlink', WHERE `userid`='$fetcheduserid'";

to

$query5 = "UPDATE userinfo SET userlink='$userlink', WHERE userid='$fetcheduserid'";

 

in this query also

 

$query6 = "UPDATE `mainfilelist` SET `filelink`='$filelink', WHERE `fileid`='$fetchedfileid'";

to

$query6 = "UPDATE mainfilelist SET filelink='$filelink', WHERE fileid='$fetchedfileid'";
