Here is my code from line692 to line700

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /home/favorart/public_html/admin/products_attributes.php on line 697
<?php
$next_id = 1;
$attributes = tep_db_query($attributes);
while ($attributes_values = tep_db_fetch_array($attributes)) {
$products_name_only = tep_get_products_name($attributes_values['products_id']);
$options_name = tep_options_name($a </td> line697
<?php
echo '</form>';
} else {

you must enclose the string within quotes...

$options_name = tep_options_name( "$a </td>" );

Thanks, I tried your way, but got new error

<?php
$next_id = 1;
$attributes = tep_db_query($attributes);
while ($attributes_values = tep_db_fetch_array($attributes)) {
$products_name_only = tep_get_products_name($attributes_values['products_id']);
$options_name = tep_options_name($a&nbsp;</td> line697
<?php  

echo '</form>';
} else {

// should be

<?php
$next_id = 1;
$attributes = tep_db_query($attributes);
while ($attributes_values = tep_db_fetch_array($attributes)) {
$products_name_only = tep_get_products_name($attributes_values['products_id']);
$options_name = tep_options_name( "$a&nbsp;</td>" );

echo '</form>';
} else {

And the next error you are going to get will be about the ELSE clause without an IF (unless it's further up the page and encloses the WHILE, in which case you'll get an error about the missing } for the while)

Thanks Roger, you are right, next error is exact what you said, s what can I do? I don't know why this could happen, I didn't change anything before, can I just post the more lines here, and please have a look for me?

The very best thing you can do is to get hold of UltraEdit from
http://www.ultraedit.com/
or evaluation copy from
http://www.tucows.com/preview/194610

cos it's got inbuilt syntax checking and will let you know when you have missed a bracket

All you need to do is to insert the } needed befor the else, then you will have closed the whle and closed the if and you can move on to your next syntax error. Don't worry, it's all good practice and how you learn - if you let ypourself learn that is. I mean, you should have solved this one yourself - I gave you a big enough hint last time.

Thanks again, Roger. I will try for sure. since I know nothing about coding, I don't know how long would it take. just wish me luck
