I'll do my best to inform everybody of the error. In this case it
was the same parse error as the other.

I was comparing a similar line earlier in the code and it looked
fine to me. But I'm still learning
I tryed it and I got the same error
The code I used
$output = print("");
return $output;
Thanks

Darren,
We're not really set up to do line-by-line debugging. You may need to spend a bit
(more) time learning PHP to
avoid these sorts of frustrations.
When the code is executed it gives a parse error on the line containing
value=\"$value">". It would have been
helpful to have pointed us at that line and told us the error msg (cf "now the next
line gets an error").
The problem is that the last set of (internal) double-quotes are not 'escaped' and
consequently PHP thinks they
terminate the string to be printed. Otherwise everything seems to be fine.
Regards,
=dn

Re: [PHP-DB] Function Prolem parse error
Jason,
Thanks alot! now the next line gets an error.
The original code was as follows
$output = <<
EOQ;
return $output;
Then I changed it to
$output = print("");
return $output;
I did this so the code would be compatible with php3 instead of php4
(what the code was originaly written for.
Thanks for the help, Jason, Dl, and Paul, and anybody else that is
keeping up with the thread.

You can just define that function as:
function hidden_field($name, $value) {
blah...
blah...
}

Re: [PHP-DB] Function Prolem parse error
Dl,
Thanks for the input an the link to the manuels, there are very
helpful. I have looked at them but I don't understand what default
variables has to do with the listed code. To give you a better idea
(if you need it you may not) I'll put a little more of code in for
context purposes.
// string hidden_field ([string name [, string value]])
// This function returns an HTML hidden field. A value may be supplied.
function hidden_field ($name="", $value="")
{
$output = print("");
return $output;
}
I still don't understand what the fix should be or what is wrong.
Thanks for the help
Darren
