I have this script:

http://novaz3ro.com/misc/php_font.txt

I tried using \ like in the href tag, but it says this error:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/virtual/site191/fst/var/www/html/staff/check.php on line 52

Parse error: parse error, expecting ','' or';'' in /home/virtual/site191/fst/var/www/html/staff/check.php on line 52

do any of you know what I should do?

thank you

    echo "<font size=\"2\">Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in</font>";

      echo "<font size=\"2">Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in</font>";
      should be:

      echo "<font size=\"2\">Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in</font>";

        Try again!

        echo "&lt;font size=\"2"\&gt;Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in&lt;/font&gt;";

        should read

        echo "&lt;font size=\"2"\&gt;Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in&lt;/font&gt;";

          BUGGER, try yet again!

          echo "&lt;font size=\"2"\&gt;Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in&lt;/font&gt;";

          should read

          echo "&lt;font size=\"2\"&gt;Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in&lt;/font&gt;";

            what do you mean?

            and why are you calling me a "bugger"?

              you should use quotes if the value (in this case '2') contains characters that arent alpha-numeric

              e.g.

              <input type=hidden name=whatever value='text with spaces or &quot;funny characters'>

              hidden doesnt need quoes.
              whatever doesnt need quotes
              text with spaces etc does need quotes

              hope this helps

                well... I hate those font tags! They are going to dissappear out HTML, did you know?

                Start using CSS... It's the future of building sites!

                  EVIL! EVIL! WICKED!
                  Read the current (Dec.1999) HTML specification or the more recent XHTML1.0 spec (Jan.2000/Aug.2002)! Quotes are henceforth required for delimiting attribute values.

                    It's an expletive, not an invective. An expression of frustration, not contempt. The code isn't getting rendered properly (this is why we have "Preview Reply" and "edit" buttons 😉). "Drat" could've been used instead.

                    Take your pick:

                    echo "<font size=\"2\">Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in</font>"; 

                    echo '<font size="2">Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in</font>'; 

                    echo <<<EOL
<font size="2">Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in</font>
EOL;

                    Or escape out of PHP completely for the duration:

                    ?><font size="2">Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in</font><?php

                    Best of all (as has been suggested) is to drop <font> tags completely, and stick to CSS. But you'd still need to actually write the code, so the above still applies:

                    echo "<span class=\"note\">Cookies must be enabled to stay logged in</span>";

                    etc.
