Hi,

I'm trying to make a simple form that propagates a newsletter's database.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in line 164

Here's line 164:


Other than simply solving my syntax, can someone please tell me what it means? I can't seem to find these terms on php.net.

Notice the attempt to use "nested" quotes. Refer to the PHP manual and pick your preferred escape route.

Would probably be the easiest method..

Thanks guys that helps. Being a bit of a noob, its hard to know where I'm going wrong sometimes and than I delve into a lot of needless research. Those php errors are hard to understnad.

To be honest with you, unlike C/C++, I rarely look up those PHP thangies. I go where the line number says and can usually see immediately precisely how I've stuck my head where the sun don't shine. The exception is a missing brace. That usually refers you to the end of the file as the location of the error. When you get that one, warm up your brace matcher.

[PHP]'$_POST[address]'[/PHP]
This works just as well too.

Typically for insert queries with a lot of variables I like to stick them all into other variables.

[PHP]$address = $_POST['address'];[/PHP]
for example. Then use that when you write your query

While it works, it only works because the PHP parser is extremely lenient. It's not valid code - if you turn on warning messages, you'll see PHP grumble about it. The manual's an excellent tool, and generally, what it says, goes.
