require("config.php");

 

if(isset($_GET['id']) == TRUE) {

  if(is_numeric($id) == FALSE {

  $error = 1;

}

if($error == 1) {

  header("location: " . $config_basedir . "/viewcat.php");

  }

  else {

  $validcat = $_GET['id'];

  }

}

else {

  $validcat = 0;

}

 

$sql = "SELECT * FROM categories";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

 

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

  if($validcat == $row['id']) {

    echo "<strong>" . $row['cat'] . "</strong><br />";

 

    $entriessql = "SELECT * FROM entries WHERE cat_id = " . $validcat .

                  " ORDER BY dateposted DESC;";

    $entriesres = mysql_query($entriessql);

    $numrows_entries = mysql_num_rows($entriesres);

 

    echo "<ul>";

    if($numrows_entries == 0) {

      echo "<li>No Entries!</li>";

    }

    else {

      while($entriesrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($entriesres)) {

        echo "<li>" . date("D js F Y g.iA", strtotime($entriesrow

['dateposted'])) .

      " - <a href='viewentry.php?id=" . $entriesrow['id'] . "'>" .

          $entriesrow['subject'] . "</a></li>";

    }

}

echo "</ul>"

}

else {

  echo "<a href='viewcat.php?id=" . $row['id'] . "'>" . $row['cat'] .

"</a><br />";

  }

}

 

require("footer.php");[/pre]

 

 

This gives me the output:

 

require("config.php"); if(isset($_GET['id']) == TRUE) { if(is_numeric($id) == FALSE { $error = 1; } if($error == 1) { header("location: " . $config_basedir . "/viewcat.php"); } else { $validcat = $_GET['id']; } } else { $validcat = 0; } $sql = "SELECT * FROM categories"; $result = mysql_query($sql); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { if($validcat == $row['id']) { echo "" . $row['cat'] . "

"; $entriessql = "SELECT * FROM entries WHERE cat_id = " . $validcat . " ORDER BY dateposted DESC;"; $entriesres = mysql_query($entriessql); $numrows_entries = mysql_num_rows($entriesres); echo "

"; if($numrows_entries == 0) { echo "

No Entries!"; } else { while($entriesrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($entriesres)) { echo "

" . date("D js F Y g.iA", strtotime($entriesrow ['dateposted'])) . " - <a href='viewentry.php?id=" . $entriesrow['id'] . "'>" . $entriesrow['subject'] . ""; } } echo "

" } else { echo "<a href='viewcat.php?id=" . $row['id'] . "'>" . $row['cat'] . "

"; } } require("footer.php");

Do you have PHP installed and integrated with your web server?

[scarlson]

Also I don't see:

 

<?php

 

 

?>

 

You need the above tags wrapped around your code.

[gaugeboson]

I inserted the tags and now see:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in C:\xampp\htdocs\viewcat.php on line 5

[therealwesfoster]

change your line 5 to this

 

if(is_numeric($id) == FALSE) {

[gaugeboson]

That already is my line 5!

[peranha]

You are missing the ) after FALSE on the post.

[therealwesfoster]

That already is my line 5!

 

no.. its not.. do what i said

[gaugeboson]

Ah, so it is!  That then creates:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\viewcat.php on line 44

 

 

 

['dateposted'])) .

      " - <a href='viewentry.php?id=" . $entriesrow['id'] . "'>" .

          $entriesrow['subject'] . "</a></li>";

    }

}

echo "</ul>"

}

else {

  echo "<a href='viewcat.php?id=" . $row['id'] . "'>" . $row['cat'] .

"</a><br />";

  }

}

 

require("footer.php");

?>

 

[jcd]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\viewcat.php on line 44

To be fair, that's a very clear error message.

 

Have you tried scanning around line 44 for a missing ";" which it says it's expecting?

[benjaminbeazy]

you echo statement..

 

echo "</ul>"

 

is missing semicolon

I think your time would be better spent learning how to read errors. How can someone code like that and forget to add the <? ?> tags, and not know how to read errors?  ???
