Re: [PHP] How New Is HERE?
Interesting that it's the same variable on both lines. The second error would not show untill the first disappeared. Would you have copied and pasted some of the line? I'm still for retyping the lines in case there's something odd lurking in there and not visible. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: By comment[ing] out line 11, I take it you mean making a comment of line 11.

Steve -- From your private reply to me, we know that ripping out the HERE stuff makes no difference, so it has nothing to do with that.

Since it reads fine for us and runs when we try it, it must be in your actual code. The next things I would try are - if the original file is short, zip it up and attach it, or else make it available for download, so that we can see the *real* thing - insert before and after line 11 an innocuous print testing\n; statement, and then break the line around the = so it becomes three lines and see where the parse error ends up [Oh, and uncomment the line, of course.] % % Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in [path to file] on line 19 We'll get to that later.

Re: [PHP] How New Is HERE?
Okay, everyone, here's some real progress. I retyped the file from scratch. I'm both attaching it--it's not a big file--and printing it below: html head titlepersistence demo/title /head body h1Persistence Demo/h1 form ?php $txtBoxCounter = $_POST['txtBoxCounter']; $hdnCounter = $_POST['hdnCounter']; //increment the counters $txtBoxCounter++; $hdnCounter++; print HERE input type = text name = txtBoxCounter value = $txtBoxCounter input type = hidden name = hdnCounter value = $hdnCounter h3The hidden value is $hdnCounter/h3 input type = submit value = click to increment counters HERE; ? /form /body /html My results were mixed, but definitely moved me forward. The H1 head--Persistence Demo--displayed, as did a field with the number 1 in it. After a blank line was printed The hidden value is 1. That was followed by another blank line space, and then a button with click to increment counters in it. When I click the button, I get a box dropping down that says the info I've entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could be read by others, and do I still want to send it. I click Continue, and that box disappears. There ends my success. I'm left with: The H1 head--Persistence Demo--displayed, and the number 1 in it. The blank line followed by The hidden value is 1. The other blank line space, and then the button with click to increment counters in it. No seeming advance to the counters. Whattaya think?

Re: [PHP] How New Is HERE?
It looks like your form tag is missing some attributes needed to point your browser to the script as to where to submit the data. if you were to try with your form tag as form action=___SCRIPT_ITSELF_FILENAME___ method=post ??

Re: [PHP] How New Is HERE?
Bingo! Thanks, everyone! And thanks especially to Andrew! You were right: I needed the action and method attributes. And then it does increment. My last question on this episode: Why did it work before this for some of you trying it out for me? I mean, the code is the code, right? And either it's correct or it's not. How come it worked without these other attributes for some of you?

Just for fun, strip out the HERE print statement and see if the code is OK.

Re: [PHP] How New Is HERE?
AFAIK, it has been in PHP since the beginning of PHP4. I could be wrong, but I think it was one of the new features added when 4.0 came out. Here is a little reference material for you on it. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc Without seeing a code snippet, I can't tell you what your doing wrong. Probably something simple, but hopefully the document above will help you. Another resource which gives a decent guide to HEREDOC's is the fairly new book Core PHP Programming Third Edition. It's been a while since I read it, but if memory serves it has atleast a page or two on it's usage. I also highly recommend that book anyway to any PHP programmer, beginner all the way to highly advanced. I thought I knew almost everything about PHP and even I still learned about a new function or two from the book. Very worthwhile.
