[SOLVED] help unknown syntax error

[cs1h]

Hi,

 

Can anyone help me solve the following error, I'm sure it will be really basic but I am unable to see it. The error is

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in D:\Inetpub\vhost\myroho.com\httpdocs\adding_countryprofile.php on line 6

 

and the code is,

 

<?php 

//This gets all the other information from the form 
$country=$_POST['country'];
$flag=$_POST['flag'];
$text1=$_POST['text1'];
$medical=$_POST['medical']; 
$top1=$_POST['top1'];
$top2=$_POST['top2']; 
$top3=$_POST['top3']; 
$top4=$_POST['top4'];
$top5=$_POST['top5'];  
$bot1=$_POST['bot1'];
$bot2=$_POST['bot2']; 
$bot3=$_POST['bot3']; 
$bot4=$_POST['bot4'];
$bot5=$_POST['bot5'];
$map=$_POST['map']; 
$languages=$_POST['languages']; 
$currency=$_POST['currency'];

// Connects to your Database 
mysql_connect("localhost", "zzz", "xxx") or die(mysql_error()) ; 
mysql_select_db("countryfile") or die(mysql_error()) ; 

//Writes the information to the database 
mysql_query($sql = "insert into `countryfile` (`country`, `flag`, `blurb`, `medical`, `top1`, `top2`, `top3`, `top4`, `top5`, `bot1`, `bot2`, `bot3`, `bot4`, `bot5`, `map`, `languages`, `currency`) values ('$country', '$flag', '$text1', '$medical', '$top1', '$top2', '$top3', '$top4', '$top5', '$bot1', '$bot2', '$bot3', '$bot4', '$bot5', '$map', '$languages', '$currency')");  

//Tells you if its all ok 
echo "ok"; 

} 
else { 

//Gives and error if its not 
echo "didnt work"; 
} 
?>

 

Any help is much appriciated,

 

Thanks

Is that the file adding_countryprofile.php?

 

I ask as I can't see an error on that file...

You have a } above the else thats below the Echo

 

[Yesideez]

oops I didn't spot that as there was an else statement and automatically presumed there was an if statement which there isn't.

 

Either add if somewhere or remove that else clause.

We all miss the basic stuff sometime, i am a newbie and that's what i look for first as i dont know enough yet.
