I have a form which I use to get a date range for reports. I am
beginning to build many more reports than initially thought, and I use
this form in each one. I expect to manage/improve the form, so I want
to just include it from it's own file.
I want to break out of PHP for my form area (instead of having to deal
with a whole bunch of print/echo statements and the added debugging
layer), but am getting an error.

ERROR:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/voyager1/
public_html/turbine/dateRange_form.inc on line 17

How do I remedy the error?

Here are the ENTIRE contents of dateRange_form.inc:
?>
<form name="dateRange" method="GET" >
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center" class="">From date:
<input name='fromDate' value='<?=date("Y-m-
d",mktime(0,0,0,date("m")-1,1,date("Y")));?>' size=15>
</td>
<td align="center" class="">To date:
<input name='toDate' value='<?=date("Y-m-
t",mktime(0,0,0,date("m")-1,1,date("Y")));?>' size=15>
</td>
<td align="center">
<input type='submit' value='Search'>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?PHP

Works fine for me. You probably don't have short tags enabled (short
tags are not generally regarded as a good idea anyway)

Try replacing '<?= ' with '<?php echo '

Hmm.
I'm glad it works (for you at least), but am still stymied.

Short tags are enabled, and the code works as-is when inline, but get
the error when used via include.
The error references line 17. That it the last line. The one which re-
opens PHP.

Any further ideas?

Yeah leave out the ?in the beginning and <?php at the end

Since my include is, naturally, withhin a PHP block, I presumed that
it would expect PHP, and that close and open tags would be required if
I was including HTML.

Thanks-a-bunch.
Your solution SIMPLY WORKS ... but why?
Why aren't echo/print statements needed?

When including a file, PHP jumps back into HTML mode. You always have to
use <?php ... ?tags in an include file around your PHP code. This is
described in the manual.

Ah, there it is.
I've found it now where it specifies that in the manual.

Thanks to all.
