hi,
i get the following error when trying to run this code (see below):
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /full path form.php on line 59
i have checked for unclosed braces - none - and tried uploading the files in
ascii format just in case but get the same same error.
i have searched many forums but still haven't solved it.
the include file just looks like this:
<?php
/*
Title: xxxxxx Database Connection String
Author: Luke Mackenzie
Date: 18/09/04
*/
@mysql_connect("xxxxxx","xxxxx","xxxxxxx")
or die("Could not connect to MYSQL server");
?>
this is driving me nuts so if anyone can help, i'd be really grateful.
thanks,
lukemack.
code follows......
<?php
/*
TITLE: Inmarsat Form handling script
AUTHOR: Luke Mackenzie
DATE: 18/09/04
*/
// if the submit buttons has been pressed
if (isset($_POST['submit]))
{
//connect to the server and select the database
include "mysql.connect.php";// include the connection details
@mysql_select_db("inmarsat_comp") or die ("Could not select Database");
// retrieve the posted information from the form
$firstname = $_POST["first_name"];
$lastname = $_POST["last_name"];
$jobtitle = $_POST["job_title"];
$company = $_POST["company"];
$address1 = $_POST["address1"];

foreach($_POST["markets1"] AS $enterprise);
$distribute = $_POST["OKToDistr"];
$market = $_POST["OKToMarket"];
//insert the form information into the database
$query = "INSERT INTO inmarsat_comp SET firstname="$firstname",
lastname="$lastname";";
$result =mysql_query($query); // run the query
}
//display an appropriate message
if ($result) echo "<p>Form Data Successfully inserted!</p>";
else echo "<p> There was a problem inserting the form Data!</p>";
mysql_close();
