I've been trying to get this code to work for hours can anyone spot the mistake i made?
its a code to edit the contents of a database field calling it by its primary key.
my error code is
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in E:\xampp\htdocs\php\databaseview\records.php on line 103 which is where the param binds. your help is appreciated
this is only part 1/2 of the code, theres another part to it im working on that allows you to directly delete it.
Anyone out there who can help?

// since this form is used multiple times in this file, I have made it a function that is easily reusable
function renderForm($Name = '', $Description = '', $Qualifications ='', $DateEntered ='', $ZipCode ='', $AdditionalInformation ='', $error = '', $id = '')
