Parse error help

[tlavelle]

 

Why does this:

 echo"<form method=\"POST\" action=\"$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']\" name=\"wercbench1\">";

Give me this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\bench2\index2.php on line 41

[Psycho]

Please show a few lines before and after that line.

personally i would have done this:

 

echo"<form method=\"POST\" action=\"". $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. "\" name=\"wercbench1\">";

[tlavelle]

if (mysql_num_rows($year_result) > 0 or mysql_num_rows($industry_result)){
     // yes
     // print them one after another
if (!isset($_POST['wercbench1'])) {
 echo"<form method=\"POST\" action=\"<?php$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>\" name=\"wercbench1\">";
     echo"<table style=\"width: 100%;\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\">";
     echo"<tbody>";
     echo" <tr>";
     echo"   <td>Select the comparison year and group then click next";
     echo"   </td>";
     echo"   <td></td>";
     echo" </tr>";
     echo" <tr>";
     echo"  <td>";
     echo"   <select name=\"year\">";
     while($row = mysql_fetch_row($year_result)) {
     echo"<option value=\"" .$row[0]. "\">".$row[0]."</option>";
 }
     echo"   </select>";
     echo"   </td>";
     echo"   <td></td>";
     echo" </tr>";


     echo" <tr>";
     echo"   <td>";
 echo"   <select name=\"industry\">";
  while($row = mysql_fetch_row($industry_result)) {
     echo"<option value=\"" .$row[0]. "\">".$row[0]."</option>";
}
     echo"   </select>";
 echo"</td>";
     echo"   <td></td>";
     echo" </tr>";
     echo" <tr>";
     echo"   <td><input type=\"Submit\" value=\"Next\" name=\"wercbench1_next\"></button></td>";
     echo"   <td></td>";
     echo" </tr>";

    echo"</tbody>";
  echo"</table>";
echo"</form>";
}
}

if (mysql_num_rows($year_result) > 0 or mysql_num_rows($industry_result)){

 

thats wrong if you want a OR statement you use ||

 

so here you go:

 

if (mysql_num_rows($year_result) > 0 || mysql_num_rows($industry_result)){

 

there is alos semi colon here:

echo"<table style=\"width: 100%;\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\">";

 

change to:

 

echo"<table style=\"width: 100%\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\">";

echo"<table style=\"width: 100%\;\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\">";

 

You had a ; before the end of the line which tells the browser its the end of the line
