Parse error how do i fix it?

chriscoel

I get a parse error on line 16 which is $data.. how do i fix that?

<?
$date = gmdate("F j, Y, g:i a", time()+(-7*3600));
$file = "news.txt";
$data = "\n <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3"><td width="50" height="50" bgcolor="#000000"><img src=" avatar.gif" height="50" width="50"></td>
<td bgcolor="FFFFFF">Post by $f1 on $date</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="186" bgcolor="#000000"> </td>
<td bgcolor="FFFFFF">

$f2
</td>
</tr>
</table> \n";
$fp = fopen($file,"w";
$rf = fread($fp, filesize($file));
fseek($fp, 0);
fwrite($fp, "".$data."".$rf."";
fclose($fp);

?>

change

fwrite($fp, "".$data."".$rf."";

fwrite($fp, $data.$rf);

You have forgotten to include the close bracket ')' on the line.

$fp = fopen($file,"w";

it should read

$fp = fopen($file,"w");

What's the error?

LordShryku

nvm, you need to add slashes to this

$data = "\n <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3"><td width="50" height="50" bgcolor="#000000"><img src=" avatar.gif" height="50" width="50"></td>.....

should be

$data = "\n <table width=\"100%\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"3\"><td width=\"50\" height=\"50\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"><img src=\"avatar.gif\" height=\"50\" width=\"50\"></td>....
