I trying to figure out PHP, and have been reading several books. There seems to be no ryhme or reason as to when to use single quotes or double quotes. Here is the simple code that I am trying to get to work. <html> <head> <title>Greetings</title> <body> <?php if ($name) { print ('Good'); if(date("A")=="AM") { print ('morning,'); } elseif ( ( date("H") >=12) and (date("H) < 18)) { print ('afternoon'); } else { print ('evening,'); } print ("$name"); print ('!\n'); } else { print ('Please log in.\n'); } ?> </body> </html> I have made repeated changes, such as adding single quotes, etc... but I still continue to get the parse error, Unexpected T_Variable. -- In Kindness Stephen K.
