Johnain Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I really have hunted, but I cannot find the syntax for the link. As a conszquence I have put my gunction into the header of the html file and I get an arror on the line in red below, the case statement. <head> <?php $order="XXXX"; function fnshowmail($order){ mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); switch ($order) { case DATE: $query="SELECT * FROM visitoremailin" use index created or die("Bad syntax"); break; default: $query="SELECT * FROM visitoremailin"; } $result=mysql_query($query); $num=mysql_numrows($result); mysql_close(); return $num; } ?> The function is called in the <body> below by a button tht sets "$order and the vars such as $username and $password are filled in the body before the function is called for the first time. It may be the syntax in the switch staement, but I just cannot see it. The erroe message is ...

Johnain Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Thanks a million for that. It does puzzle me though because I have loads of others without quotes that work fine. Maybe that was beginners luck!! Do you know the syntax for a link in the header to a "library" file of functions?
