You can see this script in action to see what is wrong at:

http://www.wickedjuggalos.com/errors.php?id=401
http://www.wickedjuggalos.com/errors.php?id=403
http://www.wickedjuggalos.com/errors.php?id=404
http://www.wickedjuggalos.com/errors.php?id=500

I can't see anything wrong with it, it prints
the error nicely... just what is the problem?

Anon

Do you see where it says <? echo $error_title ?> in my script? That should be changed each time with the variable depending on the query, but instead it just doesn't show up.

Anon

Hmm I see... on my screen phpbuilder prints that in white on lightblue, not very readable.

Anyway, we have a DUH alert!

How can you print something before you define what it is?

Anon

yea....i was thinkin that but i wasnt sure....ill see if i can figure this out then how to get it how i want it

Anon

Just put the echo command after the IF statements.
