Hi,
I'm working through Chapter 12. I'm stuck on creating the user.php page (page 437-439). I've double-checked everything but whenever I try to load the page in a browser I get the error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\mailing_lists\user.php on line 72
I have downloaded the code from the P2P site but even that gives me the same error.
My code is:
<?php
require('config.php');
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Mailing List Signup</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="user_transact.php">
<p>
Sign up for Mailing List:
</p>
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect(SQL_HOST, SQL_USER, SQL_PASS)
or die('Could not connect to MySQL database. ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(SQL_DB,$conn);
if (isset($_GET['u']))
{
$uid = $_GET['u'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ml_users WHERE user_id = '$uid';";
$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($result)) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$e-mail = $row['e-mail'];
} else {
$e-mail = "";
}
}
?>
<p>
E-mail Address:
<input type="text" name="e-mail" size="40" value="<?php echo
$e-mail;?>"/>
</p>
<p>
If you aren't currently a member, please provide
your name:
First Name:
<input type="text" name="firstname" />
Last Name:
<input type="text" name="lastname" />
</p>
<p>
Select the mailing lists you want to receive:
<select name="ml_id">
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ml_lists ORDER BY listname;")
or die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo " <option value=\"" . $row['ml_id'] . "\">" .
$row['listname'] . "</option>\n";
}
?>
</select>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="action"
value="Subscribe" />
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Is there anything I am doing wrong???
Continual Parse error
