[RESOLVED] Unexpected T_logical_AND

gilk9

I get this error for the following code extract....yet I have not used any "and",
also as best I can have checked matching of curlies and parentheses.
Any helpwould be appreciated...Thanks.

 // add a pass/fail  and number of wrong answers to the student answer submission record

  echo "....adding PASS or FAIL to your submission record<br>";

             if ($wrong_answers !=0) {     // if one or more wrong answers

                $pf = "f" ;                // set variable to f for fail

              $add_pass_fail = " UPDATE studentanswers SET 
                          passfail = '$pf', 
                   num_wrong = $wrong_answers 
                     WHERE  id = '$last_id'  ";
// do query and error routine                

 mysql_query($add_pass_fail, $conn) or die(mysql_error("Cant add PASS/FAIL status to student submission"));  

   }

Your code snippet looks okay. It is possible that the error is elsewhere but the PHP interpreter only spotted it when it reached this section of code.

Thanks for the rapid reply....does this mean that the problem with the code occurred BEFORE the snippet...??

Probably.

I have found the error...it was with parentheses about 300 lines past where php interpreter said it was!!!
Thanks

There's no way for us to tell: like you say, there is no use of "&&" anywhere in that code you've supplied - but it's only wild assumption on our part that the section of code you posted has anything to do with the file and line of code code that the error message pointed you to.
