mlt9584 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hello, I have this assignment to create a PHP script but every time I test it, it returns this error, Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\jokelist.php on line 36 What does this mean? I included the PHP script in the attachment. Thanks.

SammyGunnz Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Change... if (!$dbcnx) { exit('<p>Unable to connect to the ' . 'database server at this time.</p>'); } To... if (!$dbcnx) { die('<p>Unable to connect to the database server at this time.</p>'); } Do the same for the other one like it.

mlt9584 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 You're missing a quotation mark on line 11. Stupid me! I wasn't suppose to add the quotation mark on line 11. After the 'root'. Before, I had it like this, $dbcnx = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', "); but then I changed it to this, $dbcnx = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'root'); and now it works. But thanks for help Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72385-solved-parse-error-php-script/#findComment-365558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
