Error codes

Diesel73

I keep getting this error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING"

the problem is I have no idea what is means and I can't find anythign wrong with the code. Is there a place that will tell me what these codes refer to?

Thanks.

perhaps just a forgotten semicolon ... according to:

Thanks matto for you help.

It helped me solve that problem. The funny part is now I get a different error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING" which I CAN'T find on the site you provided.

I'm attaching the code in case you can possibly take a moment to let me know what may be wrong.

Thanks again.

<?php
if (!$fname || !$lname || !$address || !$city)
{
echo "You have not entered all the required information. <br /> Please go back and try again.";
exit;
}
$db_addr = "localhost";
$db_user = "login";
$db_pass = "password";
$db_name = "mride";
$db_table = "customer";
mysql_pconnect($db_addr,$db_user,$db_pass) or die ('cannot connect to database');
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die ('cannot select database');
$results = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $db_table (fname,lname,address,city) VALUES ('$fname','$lname','$address','$city')");
if($results)
{
echo "Information Entered";
}
else
{
echo "There was a problem.";
}
?>

Look at the line number where the error occurs. It'll tell you where to look.

Well I just solved the problem. For some reason when I pasted some items in dreamweaver spaces were converted to underscores. I noticed after I posted my code so I corrected my code on this thread and then pasted it back into Dreamweaver and presto! Success!

So once again, thanks for all your help!

Btw, for future reference, you don't need to check the manual to find out what the individual error statements of the type "Unexpected doohicky on line 500" actually mean. The answer is always ... you forgot something on the previous line.
