Have you ever had a coding job that worked the first time????
<Don't answer - especially if it's "Yes">.

I know it is probably a dumb little mistake -
but I have looked at it so many times I am going cross-eyed.

I am building a form that uploads records through PHP to MYSQL.
I found the scripts here (very simple basic stuff):

[a href=\"http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/4\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/4[/a]

I think I coded my stuff the same as the examples, but it doesn't work. I get this error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in /home/lakeside/public_html/php/insert.php on line 26
(line 26 matches the php code below: $E-mail_Address=$_POST['E-mail_Address'];)

Be aware I put some hard returns here so it doesn't mess you folks up viewing it on the forum. So
if you want the original code without breaks, I can supply it.

Thanks for any help in advance!!

[img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":smile:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /]

Here is the code (PHP/HTML first then HTML form):

[code]$E-mail_Address=$_POST['E-mail_Address'];[/code]
That's almost certainly interpreted as $E minus mail_Address .... which is going to result in an error.

Try changing it to the below (or $E_mail_Address) and be consistent anywhere that's used:
[code]$Email_Address=$_POST['E-mail_Address'];[/code]
