i get the error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /homepages/27/d193007783/htdocs/stangle/index.php on line 100

 

line 100 is the 2nd echo

echo "$r['message']<HR color='#660000'>";

 

<?
if($logged_in){
?>						
<?

$db_host = "****";
$db_username = "****";
$db_password = "****";
$db_name = "****";

mysql_connect($db_host,$db_username,$db_password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die(mysql_error());

$query = "SELECT name, subject, message, date
FROM news order by date DESC";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo "$r['subject']<HR color='#660000'>";
echo "$r['message']<HR color='#660000'>";
echo "Posted By:";
echo "$r['name'] on $r['date']<br>";
}
?>
<?php
}
?>

try this

echo $r['message']"<HR color='#660000'>";
or this
echo "".$r['message']."<HR color='#660000'>";

edit: quick fix

try

echo "".$r['message']."<HR color='#660000'>";

or

echo "{$r['message']}<HR color='#660000'>";

I don't really understand why both of the posters above included a "". at the beginning of the line, it's unneeded.

echo $r['message']."<HR color='#660000'>";

 

That works just fine.

[L]

try this

echo $r['message']"<HR color='#660000'>";
or this
echo "".$r['message']."<HR color='#660000'>";

edit: quick fix 

 

u obviously didn't look at my code closely enough...my first example is exactly what u have there buddy 

[Philip]

It's missing a period

 

$r['message']"<HR color='#660000'>";

[L]

ouch...that hurts...but do you really need the period?....works fine for me either way

[Philip]

Sorry, wasn't trying to be mean, just wanted to point it out.

 

Technically, you should have that period there at all times, between 2 variables, or a variable and text. I'm kinda surprised it worked for you, lol, it's always given me errors.

line

$query = "SELECT name, subject, message, date
FROM news order by date DESC";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo "".$r['subject']."<HR color='#660000'>";
echo "".$r['message']."<HR color='#660000'>";
echo "Posted By:";

to

echo $r['name']." on ".$r['date']."<br>";
