I'm new to PHP, so I've been going through tutorials, FAQs, and trying to find what I need in the manual. The following script, though it looks pretty good to me, has some sort of bug because when I run it, the only output I get is: \n"; } ?> That's it. Just \n"; } ?> (7 characters (not counting spaces)) sitting in the middle of the page. I don't know just how "nit-picky" PHP is about syntax.
I'm sure I could learn a great deal if someone would be kind enough to take a look at this script and point out my (probably many) mistakes.
