PhP/MySQL Search Results code

Newbie question - please excuse. I'm using Dreamweaver to generate most of my PhP. I have created a search page and am trying to generate the results page. The search form is using the GET function and the form field name is "manufacturer". The following code is generated by DW in the results page... <?php $vManufacturer_rs_RobesonResultsList = "Reece"; if (isset(manufacturer)) { $vManufacturer_rs_RobesonResultsList = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? manufacturer : addslashes(manufacturer); } mysql_select_db($database_VandyDivAddresses, $VandyDivAddresses); $query_rs_RobesonResultsList = sprintf("SELECT robeson_inv.manufacturer, robeson_inv.model, robeson_inv.specs, robeson_inv.qty FROM robeson_inv WHERE robeson_inv.manufacturer = '%s' ORDER BY robeson_inv.model", $vManufacturer_rs_RobesonResultsList); $rs_RobesonResultsList = mysql_query($query_rs_RobesonResultsList, $VandyDivAddresses) or die(mysql_error()); $row_rs_RobesonResultsList = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_RobesonResultsList); $totalRows_rs_RobesonResultsList = mysql_num_rows($rs_RobesonResultsList); ?> I'm always getting an error when testing the page. The error is... Parse error: parse error, expecting T_VARIABLE' or '$'' in /home/s/k/user992816/html/RobesonWeb/TMP4np9nf7zp.php on line 4 The line to which it refers is the line stating, "$vManufacturer_rs_RobesonResultsList = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? manufacturer : addslashes(manufacturer);" Anyone know what the problem may be?
