First script - basic question
Hi,
I created an HTML page with the following code: <html> <body> <form action="everif.php" method="post"> Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="12"><br> First name: <input type="text" name="fname" size="12"> <input type="submit" value="OK"> </form> </body> </html> and everif.php contains: <?php $fname= $_POST['fname']; $name= $_POST['name']; echo("<center>Hi $fname $name</center>"); ?> When I press OK from the HTML page 1 get: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/free.fr/d/c/parispain/everif.php on line 2 where line 2 is: $fname= $_POST['fname']; Why? Thank you.

You don't need any brackets in the echo statement, but it doesn't really matter. Perhaps there's a problem with the line breaks in your PHP source. I think PHP likes to see a carriage return and linefeed at the end of every line. Some editors (especially on Mac systems) use carriage returns but no linefeeds. -- phil [dot] ronan @ virgin [dot] net http://vzone.virgin.net/phil.ronan/

You can write a whole PHP script all on line without any newlines or carriage returns if you want. -- Oli

Me too. Did you copy and paste the code in your news post, or type it? Your error could be from one space too many, for example after <? or $. -- Firefox Web Browser - Rediscover the web - http://getffox.com/ Thunderbird E-mail and Newsgroups - http://gettbird.com/

I just seem to recall having a few parse errors of my own before I set my text editor up to use DOS line breaks. I can't see what else could be wrong with the OP's script.
