I got this error: "PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING on line 137" from the following code and I am not sure what is wrong iwth it. Any suggestions?

Well... I tried to locate line 137, and what I got was this:echo ("Please press the "Back" button and enter a valid Email address and a five number Zip Code.");

And after a short reconsideration, I came up with this correction that should work:

echo ("Please press the \"Back\" button and enter a valid Email address and a five number Zip Code.");

Hope that helps? :?:

Anytime you use quotes (") that you want the end user to see, always put backslashes before.

If you often forget, I have found you can use single quotes and not have to use backslashes...example...

Instead of this...[PHP]<?php echo "Press the \"Back\" button"; ?>[/PHP]

You could probably use [PHP]<?php echo 'Press the "Back" button'; ?>[/PHP]

Perhaps Troy knows a bit more about this...
