How can I give a <table> </table> with all of it's parameters in PHP in eachof the cells there is a variable that gives me the data back but I can't getthe table to show as it always gives me either this error "Parse error:parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting ',' or ';' inC:\FoxServ\www\Dad\proofing\index.php on line 41" or this one when I don'tput in the quotes "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<', expecting ','or ';' in C:\FoxServ\www\Dad\proofing\index.php on line 41". Here is the PHP code I'm using: <?php$datei="c:\licence.txt"; if(file_exists($datei)){ $nachricht="The licence has been validated thank-you!"; $fp = fopen($datei,"r"); fpassthru($fp); fclose($fp); }else{ $nachricht="The licence doesn't exist please contact us! echo <table width="694" height="501" border="0" align="center"cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td height="109" colspan="7"><img src="images/1.jpg" width="857"height="109" border="0" usemap="#Map"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="39" rowspan="2"><img src="images/lefty.jpg" width="39"height="394"></td> <td width="8" height="369">&nbsp;</td> <td width="240" class="style5"></td> <td width="12" height="369" class="style5">&nbsp;</td> <td width="407" height="369" class="style5"><spanclass="style3"><b>$nachricht</b></span><br></td> <td width="346" rowspan="2"><img src="images/righty.jpg" width="346"height="394" border="0" usemap="#Map2"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" colspan="5"><img src="images/bottom.jpg" width="472"height="23"></td> </tr></table>;} ?> Hi, Damn your code is VERY MESSY. No wonder PHP is confused in how the work is configured. You need to do alot of work. <snip> echo <table width... </snip> This is not even proper PHP writting. The server would look at this and say "huh?" Read this: http://au3.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php The second line of the demonstration is easy to read and points out an obvious exclusion you don't have in your code. If you can't find this? Than you need to read alot more on PHP/MYSQL because your obviously not up to the standard you need to write PHP on the fly without major help. I suggest you read the online docs. Answers are much easier to find there than waiting a while for a response on here. Also notice in the demonstration at the end of all code lines there is a ";"? Where is yours? PHP gets to the end of your code and does not see a ";" so can't understand it. If you read the error messages outputed it's pretty self-explaintry to the error. Read it, go to that line and think about the error displayed. Also PHP.net and mysql.net have error codes. So if you get an error and it displays an error code id go to the relevant site and check it up for a more detailed response and fix. Does this assist you?
