Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\php_template2\input_berita_static.php on line 117

Line 117 is $sqlstr = "INSERT INTO static_page(judul, isi_berita)VALUES("'".$judul."','".$news.'")";

Replace line 117 with the following:

$sqlstr = "INSERT INTO static_page(judul, isi_berita)VALUES('".$judul."','".$news."')";

Hey the code works!

But logically, why do I need to use '(apostrophe)?

Why not:

$sqlstr = "INSERT INTO static_page(judul, isi_berita)VALUES(".$judul.",".$news.")";

because to separate the code/syntax from the string you are inputing you need to surround your text with a quote on each side. However with numbers, this is not the case since mysql knows how to detect numbers from the syntax. So whenever inputting strings, you must surround with quotes to ensure that mysql or even in any language like in php for assigning variables because when it comes to computers, computers aren't smart at recognizing code.
