Can't find my error?

run2web

I am sure that I will get some flack from someone in this forum but here goes anyway. I am getting a parse error on the line that contains the php statement and I cannot see it. Anyone have any suggestions?

  <form name="AddRecord" method="post" action="do_addOwners.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <table border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" width="100%">
      <tr> 
        <td class="TextBold-Black-Med" width="40%" bgcolor="#00008D"><b><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Owner 
          ID (Do not change this field)</font></b></td>
        <td class="featuretext" colspan="5" bgcolor="#00008D" width="60%"> 
          <b><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> 
          <input type="text" name="OwnerID" size="9" maxlength="9"> <?php select nextval('OwnerID') ?>

          </font></b></td>
      </tr>

Thanks,

What is "select"?

It is selecting the next number available from an auto_increment field.

Ok, I made this an echo instead of select and now I am getting this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: nextval() in /home/.../www/.../show_addOwners.php on line 43

LIne 43 is this:

Uhm, you need to query the database. I suggest you read up on the PHP mySQL commands.

I quote:

"I tutored college students who were taking a computer programming course. A few of them didn't understand that computers are not sentient. More than one person used comments in their Pascal programs to put detailed explanations such as, "Now I need you to put these letters on the screen." I asked one of them what the deal was with those comments. The reply: "How else is the computer going to understand what I want it to do?" Apparently they would assume that since they couldn't make sense of Pascal, neither could the computer."

I see a pattern here XD
