By "comment[ing] out line 11", I take it you mean making a comment of line
11. I just did--as this problem woke me from a night's sleep at just past
2:30 AM--and the error message is now:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in [path to file] on line 19

Where will this end?

Comment out line 11 to checkj it's the cause of the proble. If the
error goes away then retype the line. I just tested this code and got
no errors. It could be a character that is not what it seems.

Interesting that it's the same variable on both lines. The second error
would not show untill the first disappeared. Would you have copied and
pasted some of the line? I'm still for retyping the lines in case
there's something odd lurking in there and not visible.

For what it is worth, I cut and pasted your full html into a file.

Under PHP version 4.3.1

It runs from the command line without fault.

Apache 1.3.22

It runs without fault (increments properly).

What text editor are you using? I saved the code as both Unix and DOS format and it works for both.

I've attached my file for you to try. Hope it helps as I can't fault the code.

Steve --

From your private reply to me, we know that ripping out the <<<HERE stuff
makes no difference, so it has nothing to do with that. I would also be
inclined to rip out all of the bare HTML to make sure you don't have
anything funky in there, too, especially since it comes before the error.

...and then stiano@optonline.net said...
%
% By "comment[ing] out line 11", I take it you mean making a comment of line
% 11. I just did--as this problem woke me from a night's sleep at just past
% 2:30 AM--and the error message is now:

OK; there is obviously some problem with line 11. Since it reads fine
for us and runs when we try it, it must be in your actual code. The next
things I would try are

- if the original file is short, zip it up and attach it, or else make
it available for download, so that we can see the *real* thing

- insert before and after line 11 an innocuous
print "testing\n";
statement, and then break the line around the = so it becomes three
lines and see where the parse error ends up

[Oh, and uncomment the line, of course.]


%
% Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in [path to file] on line 19

We'll get to that later. Now that we know that there is a problem with
line 11, let's fix it first.


%
% Where will this end?

At the error(s), of course :-)
