jhc1982 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Hi Guys, I keep getting the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/pet/petCatalog1.php on line 51 I have copied the code from a tutorial and cannot for the life of me work out what the problem is with line 51???? I have attached the file and pasted the code below. The real problem line is: echo "<tr><td valign='top' width='15%' style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em'\n" The full code is attached - btw, inserting the ">" does not help to fix it!! <?php /* Programme: PetCatalog.php * Desc: Lists all pet categories with radio buttons */ ?> <html> <head> <title>Select a Pet Category</title> </head> <body> <?php /* Database login info - Move to an Include */ $host="localhost"; $user="root"; $passwd=""; $dbname="information_schema"; /* Establishes a connection with the databse */ $cxn = mysqli_connect ($host, $user, $passwd, $dbname) or die ("Could not connect to the database JAMIE!"); /* SQL Query to select all categories of pet from the petType column in the pet table */ $query = "SELECT * FROM PetCatalog.petType ORDER BY petType"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn,$query) or die ("Unable to connect to the database JAMIE"); /* Echo of H1 & H2 above the pet table */ echo "<div style='margin-left: .lin'>\n <h1 style='text-align: center'>Pet Catalogue</h1>\n <h2 style='text-align: center'>The following categories of pets are now available</h2>\n"; /* Create form to diplay pet categories */ echo "<form action='ShowPets.php' method='POST'>\n"; echo "<table cellpadding='5' border='1'>"; $counter=1; while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) { extract ($row) echo "<tr><td valign='top' width='15%' style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em'\n" echo "<input type='radio' name='interest' value='$petType'\n"; if( $counter == 1 ) { echo "checked='checked'"; } echo ">$petType</td>"; echo "<td>$typeDescription</td></tr>"; $counter++; } echo "</table>"; echo "<p>input type='submit' value='Select Pet Type'> </form></p>\n"; ?> </body> </html> [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princeofpersia Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 This is what you have echo "<tr><td valign='top' width='15%' style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em'\n" replace it with echo "<tr><td valign='top' width='15%' style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em'\n"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhc1982 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks guys, It is a bit frustrating! This is the second time that copying the book word for word (including typos) has let me down. Next time I think I will take the concept and this about how to put it together myself. Thanks again!
