Re: Function Prolem parse error

Dl, Thanks for the input an the link to the manuels, there are very helpful. I have looked at them but I don't understand what default variables has to do with the listed code. To give you a better idea (if you need it you may not) I'll put a little more of code in for context purposes. // string hidden_field ([string name [, string value]]) // This function returns an HTML hidden field. A value may be supplied. function hidden_field ($name="", $value="") { $output = print("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"$name\" value=\"$value">"); return $output; } I still don't understand what the fix should be or what is wrong. Thanks for the help Darren Dl Neil wrote:

Paul if your there I have another issue similar to the past. It is probably a PHP3 to PHP4 problem. Here tis function hidden_field ($name="", $value="") ***** I have no clue what could be wrong.

Darren, Check out http://uk.php.net/manual/en/functions.php and from there look up "Default Argument Values". =dn
