which syntax is this?

[vronsky]

Hello... got the task to implement a web-app, when i read the code i find a syntax that i have never seen before :

        $sql = "select count(id) from agenzie";
	$result = mysql_query($sql,$connessione);
	$rs = mysql_fetch_array($result);

$ag_reg = $rs[0];	$result.close;
$rs.close;

???

$result.close;

?

$rs.close;

??

in fact once transferred the program on my server i get the error 🙂

Notice: Use of undefined constant close - assumed 'close' in C:\xampp\htdocs[url]www.case-torino.it\index.php[/url] on line 217

I am sorry if i am asking something obvious but... wht's that?

It's probably a syntax that you've never seen before because it's not valid PHP syntax.

Well, it would be valid PHP syntax if $rs was a string and close was the name of a defined constant whose value is a string. This is why you get the notice that there is the "use of undefined constant close".
