parse error, unexpected T_STRING in I'm trying to learn php and I'm trying to build a simple form that stores data. However, I'm getting this error message when I submit my form:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /sites/yuma2/swaters210/home/public_html/music/music.php on line 7
you check out my form here: http://www.stevenwaters.net/music/index.html
FYI: I do know I have to replace password with an actual password, which I have.
Can someone check it out for me? I would appreciate it. I was going to post in a similiar thread, but wasn't sure if anybody would see it.

<?
$artist=$_POST['artist'];
$song=$_POST['song'];
$album=$_POST['album'];
mysql_connect("localhost", "swaters210", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("swaters210") or die(mysql_error());
CREATE TABLE data (artist VARCHAR(30), song VARCHAR(30), album VARCHAR(30));
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `data` VALUES ('$artist', '$song', '$album')");
Print "Your information has been successfully added to the database.";
?>

<form method="POST" action="music.php"> <label for="artist"><b>Artist Name:</b></label> <input type="text" name="artist" value="" /><br /> <label for="song"><b>Song Title:</b></label> <input type="text" name="song" value="" /><br /> <label for="album"><b>Album:</b></label> <input type="text" name="album" value="" /><br /> <input type="submit" name="submitbutton" id="submitbutton" value="Submit" />

What is exactly line 7 within your .php file?
It's just a syntax error, and can be worked out momentarily for you
Cheers.

How do you wrap it in a mysql_query() statement? I was just following this tutorial here:

the purpose of this, is just to check if the SQL table actually exists before you INSERT data into it. If you're sure that the table exists (that you've created it), then you won't need this, its just to stop noobies from doing insert's into a table that doesnt' exist
