Hi, please help. I get an parse error msg:

Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'

for the line <form method = 'POST' action = '$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']'>

But I can't spot anything wrg. Help!

<?

<form method = 'POST' action = '$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']'>
<select name = 'domain'>
<option><selected>Select an account</option>

while ($num_domains > $x) {

$domain = mysql_result($query_domains,$x,"domain_name");

<option value='$domain'>$domain</option>

$x++;

}

?>

<form method = 'POST' action = '$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']'>
<select name = 'domain'>
<option><selected>Select an account</option>

those aren't php functions, yet you have them within the php brackets. If you want to echo them, you need to use echo()

Maybe some syntax highlighting will help differentiate the wrong:

<?

<form method = 'POST' action = '$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']'>
<select name = 'domain'>
<option><selected>Select an account</option>

while ($num_domains > $x) {

$domain = mysql_result($query_domains,$x,"domain_name");

<option value='$domain'>$domain</option>

$x++;

}

?>

from the right:

<form method = 'POST' action = '<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>'>
<select name = 'domain'>
<option><selected>Select an account</option>
<?
while ($num_domains > $x) {

$domain = mysql_result($query_domains,$x,"domain_name");

<option value='$domain'>$domain</option>

$x++;

}

?>

Hi, I would like to fit the code below into a variabe $form

How do I go about that?

I tried ...but it doesn't work or look too right.

<?$form?> = "

<form method = 'POST' action = '<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>'>
<select name = 'domain'>
<option value=""><selected>Select an account</option>

<?
while ($num_domains > $x) {

$domain = mysql_result($query_domains,$x,"domain_name");
?>

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Terminate'>
</form>

";

Hi, can anyone help me out with my query above? Thanks

Ya can't do it--at least not all of the code you had there. At least not easily or well, or with any good form. However, you can put your HTML into variables....just not your while loop.

so it would look something like
<?
$formhead="<form name=whatever action=something method=post><select name=domain>
<option value=\"\"><selected>Select an account</option>";

$fromtail="</select><submittag yadda></form>";
?>
then you could use this like so:

<?
print $formhead;
while loop
print $formtail;
?>
