Re: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>'

Reading again, it's not just one miss. You have to close some strings, escape some quotes, etc I think this can be right: $sql = "SELECT * FROM melstatus WHERE custID=$custID ORDER BY aircraftRegistration"; $q = mysql_query($q) or die ("could not execute query."); echo " <fieldset> <ul style='list-style: none'>\n"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($q)) { echo " <li>".$row['melID']."<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"".$row['melID']."\"/> "; echo "</li>\n"; } echo "</ul></fieldset>"; I'd recomend you to get a good text editor with sintax highlighting if you haven't one. It would warn you from most of these mistakes. And an xhtml issue: to use an empty tag, you use <tag/> and not <tag/tag> ________________________________ De: Fernando Castillo Aparicio <f_c_a_1980@yahoo.es> Para: Haig Davis <level510@gmail.com>; php-general@lists.php.net Enviado: miércoles, 23 de septiembre, 2009 16:23:07 Asunto: Re: [PHP] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' You missed a double quote here: echo " <fieldset> <ul style='list-style: none'>\n"; ________________________________ De: Haig Davis <level510@gmail.com> Para: php-general@lists.php.net Enviado: miércoles, 23 de septiembre, 2009 16:18:17 Asunto: [PHP] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' Good morning Everyone, I'm have trouble with a simple HTML Checkbox list.
