Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/f/o/c/focusevents/html/config.php on line 9

?>

 

 

Any help at all would be great

You php file code that you have pasted is not in correct format, but i think your problem is that you are having '?' in everyline...also while ending the php scriptlet your ending it like '??>'

 

Please paste the proper  code for better help.

[MadTechie]

use this

<?php
$host="p41mysql63.secureserver.net"; // Host name ?
$username="CourtneyBlacher"; // Mysql username ?
$password="######"; // Mysql password ?
$db_name="temp_members_db"; // Database name ???//Connect to server and select database.?
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect to server"); ?
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
?>

 

replaced ###### with password

[pnkgirl25]

Nope that didn't work either. I have been looking over this code for 3 hours. I cant seem to figure out that the heck is going on. Its driving me insane!

[mmarif4u]

Can u explain what u r doing mean u want to connect to db.

Am i right...

[dhruvasagar]

[itsmeArry]

<?php
$host="p41mysql63.secureserver.net"; // Host name 
$username="CourtneyBlacher"; // Mysql username 
$password="######"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="temp_members_db"; // Database name 
//Connect to server and select database.

mysql_select_db($db_name) or die("cannot select DB");
?>

The code I am is bellow. When I pasted it into this forum I hit the code link but it still seems to not be formated right for you guys to review. How do I format it so I can past the right code? Also, the color code that appears is not the same code im looking at on my screen. I dont know why it keeps changing

 

<?php
$host="p41mysql63.secureserver.net"; 
$username="CourtneyBlacher";
$password="*********"; 
$db_name="temp_members_db";
Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect to server"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
?>

[MadTechie]

using either

itsmeArry or my code (as their the same)

 

can you paste that into notepad and save it and upload it

 

what editor are you currently using?

[pnkgirl25]

try this out

 

<?php
$host="p41mysql63.secureserver.net"; // Host name 
$username="CourtneyBlacher"; // Mysql username 
$password="######"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="temp_members_db"; // Database name 
//Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) or die("cannot connect to server");
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die("cannot select DB");
?>

 

I tried the code you gave me and still no luck.

what editor are you currently using?

 

the reason i ask, is because the code is fine but the editor is probably messing it up.. can you edit in text only mode ( or source)

[itsmeArry]

What is the error you are getting...

[pnkgirl25]

Im using a text editor to edit the script. I copied the script both of you posted and I am still getting the same error message. This is driving me crazy and Im ready to trow this laptop out the window!

[pnkgirl25]

Im getting the following errors

 

 

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/content/f/o/c/focusevents/html/config.php on line 7

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/f/o/c/focusevents/html/config.php on line 8

[MadTechie]

Im using a text editor to edit the script.

 

more detail needed!!

[dhruvasagar]

Perhaps there are some special characters in your username or password which are causing the problem..

[mmarif4u]

What is ur updated code.

[pnkgirl25]

What details do you need?

[pranav_kavi]

r u using a \n sumwher in ur code or file that comes widin the limit of the php tags?

[pnkgirl25]

Updated code is:

 

<?php
$host="p41mysql63.secureserver.net"; // Host name 
$username="CourtneyBlacher"; // Mysql username 
$password="###########"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="temp_members_db"; // Database name 
//Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) or die("cannot connect to server");
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die("cannot select DB");
?>

 

Also, the password and user name are correct because the are working on the log in script I created.

[MadTechie]

"a text editor" doesn't tell me much.. Ms Word is a "text editor"/"word processor" but that can really mess things up..

 

does the editor have a name  ? is it an online one ? does it have other "modes"

[pnkgirl25]

Oh okay sorry. I am using a Mac so its the text editor that came with that. It does not have a name (From what I can see) it just says TextEditor

[dhruvasagar]

Please confirm once again, does your password which you are using have some special characters?

perhaps they are conflicting with php special characters while interpretation.

[pnkgirl25]

Nope pass word is numbers and letters only. I don't think its the password since I built a login script yesterday using the password and that script works fine

[MadTechie]

Okay..

 

are you uploading via FTP ? (as that solves the CR problems)

 

personally i would use BBedit on a Mac (or BBedit lite)
