Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in E:\Program Files\wamp\www\practice\

Expand Post »

hi, i keep getting this error and i just cant figure out what is wrong. i got this code off a book that uses php v 5.1.4 and my wamp server runs php v 5.2.5, could this be a problem? does anybody know where i could download a good free php texteditor/compiler?
here is the code, line 89 is marked in red..

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if($_POST[fax_number] ) {
	[COLOR="Red"]$add_fax_sql = "INSERT INTO fax ("master_id", "date_added", "date_modified", "fax_number", "type")[/COLOR] VALUES ('".$master_id."', now(), now(), '".$_POST["fax_number"]."','".$_POST["fax_type"]."')";
	$add_fax_res = mysql_query($mysql, $add_fax_sql)
		or die(mysql_error());
}
if($_POST[fax_number] ) {
	[COLOR="Red"]$add_fax_sql = "INSERT INTO fax ("master_id", "date_added", "date_modified", "fax_number", "type")[/COLOR] VALUES ('".$master_id."', now(), now(), '".$_POST["fax_number"]."','".$_POST["fax_type"]."')";
	$add_fax_res = mysql_query($mysql, $add_fax_sql)
		or die(mysql_error());
}

Re: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in E:\Program Files\wamp\www\pract

You used double quotes for the statement, but used them within, too.

so change your line 89 to this

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$add_fax_sql = "INSERT INTO fax (`master_id`, `date_added`, `date_modified`, `fax_number`, `type`) VALUES ('".$master_id."', now(), now(), '".$_POST["fax_number"]."','".$_POST["fax_type"]."')";
$add_fax_sql = "INSERT INTO fax (`master_id`, `date_added`, `date_modified`, `fax_number`, `type`) VALUES ('".$master_id."', now(), now(), '".$_POST["fax_number"]."','".$_POST["fax_type"]."')";

it now should work.
