Hi,
This has completely stumped me. I have a page that is trying to use PHP and CSS at the same time. There should be no reason it won't work. The page displays fine until I add the php at the top of the page, and then I get this error message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/mfleming/lightningshotspots.com/html/addlocation.php on line 98
Again, everything works fine until I add the php at the head of the page that deals with db login. I may be missing something fundamental here, but I just can't figure it out!
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("xxxx", "xxxx", "xxxx");
mysql_select_db("lightning",$db);
if ($submit) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO shotspots (latitude,longitude,description,name,email,status) VALUES ('$latitude','$longitude','$description','$name','$email','$status')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
header ("Location: thanks.php");
} else {
?>

If anybody has any thoughts on this, it would be greatly appreciated! According to my editor, line 98 is the last line of code, and there is no $ there that I can see. I even removed the whitespace at the end of the line.
Thanks!
