Gooday,

Begining PHP is a good reference for me. However, i face an issue while browsing this book. I think its the heredoc issue.

Reference;
Chapter 4, page 114.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in D:\wamp\www\testing\table1.php on line 14

<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","bp5am","bp5ampass")
  or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("moviesite")
  or die (mysql_error());

$query = "SELECT movie_name, movie_director, movie_leadactor " .
         "FROM movie";

$result = mysql_query($query, $link)
  or die(mysql_error());
$num_movies = mysql_num_rows($result);

$movie_header =<<<EOD

    <th>Movie Type</th>

$movie_details = '';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  $movie_name = $row['movie_name'];

  $movie_leadactor = $row['movie_leadactor'];

  $movie_details .=<<<EOD
