Problem with <li> (39)

[KSSI250094000]

Hello everyone,

I am a PHP novice and have been working to create a basic content managment system. So far I have been able to resolvemost of the problems but I am having a hard time understanding what the problem is here...

...Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.

Parse error: parse error in C:\wamp\www\content.php on line 39:

<?php
                $query = "SELECT *
                        FROM subjects
                        ORDER BY position ASC";
                $subject_set = mysql_query($query, $connection);
    confirm_query($subject_set);

while ($subject = mysql_fetch_array($subject_set)){
    echo "<li>{$subject["menu_name"]}</li>";
    $query = "SELECT *
            FROM pages
            WHERE subject_id = {$subject["id"]}
            ORDER BY position ASC";
    echo "<ul class=\"pages\">";
$page_set = mysql_query("$query, $connection);
confirm_query($page_set);

while ($page = mysql_fetch_array($page_set)){

    echo
[B]//- BELOW IS LINE 39[/B]
        "<li>{
        $page
        ["menu_name"]
        }</li>";
    }
    echo "<ul class=\"pages\">";
    }

?>

Like said, I am very new to PHP so if there is any additional information that could be useful that I left out, please let me know!

[dagon]

 echo   '<li>'.$page['menu_name'].'</li>';

not the only syntax you can use but that's what i prefer

[dagon]

also

   echo "<ul class=\"pages\">";

to

   echo '<ul class="pages">';

saves the need to escape the "

And if you're into saving as many characters as possible when typing, this is an alternative for the first snippet posted:

echo "<li>$page[menu_name]</li>";
