Hi, I'm having trouble with the code below. Basically, I'm trying to set up $message to inherit one of two forms depending on if there is a $_GET request. The script works IF there is a $_GET request. It fails if there isn't (i.e. parse error). Is there a way to get $message to refer to include multiple references like below? Thank you! -m <? if ($_GET['id']){ $query = "select * from bc_help where help_id = '" . $_GET['id'] . "' "; $message = & $body; } else { $query = "select * from bc_help"; $message = "<ol>" . & $links . "</ol>" . & $body; // This is where the trouble is. } $results = db_query($query); while ($row = db_fetch_array($results)){ $links .= "<li><a class=internal href=#" . $row['help_id'] . ">" . $row['help_topic'] . "</a></li>\n"; $body .= "<a name=" . $row['help_id'] . "><b>" . $row['help_topic'] . "</b><br><br>" . $row['help_text'] . "</a><br><br><br>"; } echo $message; ?>
