$result = mysql_query($query);

/Dynamically generate drop-down list/
while(list($unique_id,$scrn_name,$scrn_date) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {

}

Use:

$query = "select unique_id,scrn_name,scrn_date from screenshots order by unique_id desc limit 5";

You forgot the quote at the end.

}

mysql_close();

it gives me an parse error at line 63 which is the printf line, after i added the quote.

Hi,

If you're using worthless & usefull aplications like those for & from MS this problem might be very common.

You did copy & paste the text didn't ya?!!
Well that's it!!! You have to write it by the hand "TYPE IT MANUALY" While you copy you paste a lot of chunck with it!!!

Once I spent the whole day looking for a problem,... there was no problem... the text was pasted with the MS chunk. Just type the correction manualy & you'll be just fine I suppose. Hope so. ;-)

HTH.
