How To Fix Parse Error

[refiking]

Here is what the script returns:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/refiking/public_html/testing/go.php on line 4

 

Here is line 4:

 

fputs($url, "GET /$test?on_url=online&off_url=offline HTTP/1.0\n\n");

 

By the way, the script works fine if when I just typed in the name instead of $test.  So, I know it has something to do with how it reads $test.

I get no error, show us the code before that.

<?
$test = "johndoe"
// Connect to AOL server
$url = @fsockopen("big.oscar.aol.com", 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 3);

// Query the Server
fputs($url, "GET /$test?on_url=online&off_url=offline HTTP/1.0\n\n");

// See resultant page
while(!feof($url)){
$feofi++;
$page .= fread($url,256);
if($feofi > 10){
	$page = "offline";
	break;
}
}
fclose($url);

// determine online status
if(strstr($page, "online")){
echo "the user is online";
}else{
echo "the user is offline";
}
?>

You're missing the semi colon after the $test variable.
