Subject: Re: Weird Syntax Error
Try:
$insert = "INSERT INTO release_file_upload (upl_file_name,
upl_file_type,
upl_file_size, upl_date, upl_by, upl_path, release_id) VALUES
('$filename',
'{$_SESSION['upload']['type']}', '{$_SESSION['upload']['size']}',
now(),
'$username', '$path', '$release_id')";

I keep getting this syntax error on the following string...
syntax error unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE expecting T_STRING
or
T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING
$insert = "INSERT INTO release_file_upload (upl_file_name,
upl_file_type,
upl_file_size, upl_date, upl_by, upl_path, release_id) VALUES
('$filename',
'$_SESSION['upload']['type']', '$_SESSION['upload']['size']', now(),
'$username', '$path', '$release_id')";
Yup... I was just about to say--you need to wrap your array references with curly braces {}. Otherwise, I believe PHP will look for a primitive variable named $_SESSION, not an array whose indices are "upload" and "size".

You could also use the "." operator instead and quote using the quote
method if you are using PDO.
But this is a personal style I guess.
