Siple for programmer error unexpected T_STRING

big-dog

Can someone please spot my error here Ive compared it to my other stuff just like it and Im not seeing the problem. Line 14 is

$Frequency MHz = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Frequency MHz"];

Big thanks in advance

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /public_html/php/Freq_Table_dml.php on line 14

{
		$Channel = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Channel"];
		$Frequency MHz = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Frequency MHz"];
		$MHZ Range = $HTTP_POST_VARS["MHZ Range"];
		$Type = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Type"];
		$Color = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Color"];
		$License = $HTTP_POST_VARS["License"];
		$Comment = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Comment"];
	}

it may be the space in the string, try using underscores instead.

Incidentally, instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS use $_POST.

In addition, while array indeces can have spaces, variable names can not. See this manual page for an explanation of what a valid variable name is: [man]variables[/man].

I would also consider coldwerturkey's suggestion, however, as PHP also converts certain characters in incoming variables into underscores (and I do believe a space is one of them). You could always do a [man]print_r/man on the $POST (or $GET, or any other array) to examine its contents.
