Well this is progress! My sloppy semicolons seem to have been the
problem. The error message has now moved down to line 14, which in
Dreamweaver 4 is the closing "}" of that code block.
Since the line numbers in the error messages don't seem to be exact, the
problem is probably in the lines immediately following the code block:
$SampFirstName = addslashes ($SampFirstName);
$SampLastName = addslashes ($SampLastName) ;
$SampEmail = addslashes ($SampEmail);
$db = mysql_connect ("hostname", "user", "password");
if (!$db)
{
echo "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.";
exit;
}
I'll start looking at these lines more closely now. Thanks for the help.
I guess I was taking those error messages too literally and looking for
the problem in the wrong place.
