help, parse error but i cant find it

[zevacronet]

function totaltips($user){
		$link = dbconnect();
		$query = "SELECT sum(amount) FROM tips WHERE user = '$user' ";
		$result = mysql_query($query, $link)
			or die('MySQL error: ' . mysql_error() . '<br>Query: ' . $query);
 		while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
			if ($row['amount'] == "") {
	   			echo "0.00";
			}else{
	   			echo $row['amount'];
			}
 		}
} 

im getting a parse error on line 53 which is the last line of the script before the ?>. Im also getting a Fatal error: call to undefined function: totaltips() on the page that calls this function. I dont get it cause it was working before. Thanks!

Have you got your function inside another function or class, or even something that needs another '}', cause either i'm blind or there is nothing wrong with that code.

not really, its just in it's own file and then i insert it into the php file with a include, so i dont really know what's up.

Not gettin a problem on my end..

I concur!

(always wanted to say that!)

must be one of those things that just like to make life more difficult by just not working.

Oh Wait! I know whats wrong...

It's not working!

Sorry no help here i'm affraid.

Or perhaps, just courious, try removing the or die line and put a ; at the end of the $result. I'm almost 99.9998% positive thats not the problem, but just try.

There could also be something about magic quotes not being switched on.

Good luck!

I'll give it a shot.

First, when you say you're including, I find included files work better if they have <?php ?> tags around them. IE, don't just include a file with text, add the tags, even if you have to break in and out of the php.

Second...
It would be nice if you posted a bit more code. 🙂

But anyway, the error of undefined function usually means you have forgotten to include the file in your code somewhere, so don't forget to do something like:

require_once('includes/includefile.php');
