Hi there, I am working with a script that I found online to export a SQL statement (results) to an excel file., now everytime i run the script, i get the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/html/siteadmin/mysql_export/export.php on line 11

Now the code that is located at (and around) that line is (I have included the line numbers for reference):

10    for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
11       $header .= mysql_field_name($result, $i)."\t";
12    }

Now just in case you guys want to reference the entire script - I have included it below:

----
<?php
//Written by Dan Zarrella. Some additional tweaks provided by JP Honeywell
//pear excel package has support for fonts and formulas etc.. more complicated
//this is good for quick table dumps (deliverables)


include('../../Connections/db_connection.php');
$result = mysql_query('select * from dealers', $linkID);
$count = mysql_num_fields($result);

for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
    $header .= mysql_field_name($result, $i)."\t";
}

while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
  $line = '';
  foreach($row as $value){
    if(!isset($value) || $value == ""){
      $value = "\t";
    }else{
# important to escape any quotes to preserve them in the data.
      $value = str_replace('"', '""', $value);
# needed to encapsulate data in quotes because some data might be multi line.
# the good news is that numbers remain numbers in Excel even though quoted.
      $value = '"' . $value . '"' . "\t";
    }
    $line .= $value;
  }
  $data .= trim($line)."\n";
}
# this line is needed because returns embedded in the data have "\r"
# and this looks like a "box character" in Excel
  $data = str_replace("\r", "", $data);



# Nice to let someone know that the search came up empty. # Otherwise only the column name headers will be output to Excel. if ($data == "") {   $data = "\nno matching records found\n"; }

# This line will stream the file to the user rather than spray it across the screen
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");


# replace excelfile.xls with whatever you want the filename to default to
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export_dealers.xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");


echo $header."\n".$data;
?>


Any ideas?
