I was able to get rid of the parse error, but what I saw causing the error was a little strange. All I did was delete the spaces between your if statement and the bracket that follows ie. if( not if ( The next thing that I did was rewrote the line that says 'echo "<td>Open</td>";' although I didn?t change the line. All I did was rewrite it exactly the same as it was and the parse error disappeared. I have never seen anything quite like this before. Theoretically your code is correct. The only thing I can think of that would contribute to your error is the editor that you are using. Maybe it is putting some character between your 'if (' that looks like a space but really isn?t a space. -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Hackamack [mailto:JHackamack@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 8:00 PM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Problem Currently there seems to be some problem with syntax of some sort, for some reason I keep getting thrown back parse errors, commenting out the lines just moves the parse error line around.
