unexpected T_STRING in D:\intranet\inc lude\qaDatabase Lib.php on line 44

[Paul]

Hello,
Thanks in advance for your help, I have 3 pages generating the same
exact error on the same section of each page and I can't see the
problem - hoping a second set of eyes can help. I verified all
closing braces etc. and can't understand why the line in question is
generating a T_STRING error
Here is the code:
//-----------------------------------------------------
//THIS IS LINE 44
fuction dbConnect($aDbT able,$SQLstat)
// END OF LINE 44
{

global $dataRow, $db, $SQLstat, $Result;

if (!($db = odbc_connect('$ SQLstat','sa',' ')))
{
//Connection Error Check
print '<span class="error"> Could not establish connection to
$db.</span>';
exit;
}//end if

// Result error check
if (!($Result = odbc_exec($db,$ SQLstat)))
{
//exit if there are errors when executing SQL
print "####<BR>";
print "Query Used: <BR>";
print $SQLstat;
print ("<BR>");
print "####<BR>";
print ("Could not execute query: ");
$errorMsg = odbc_errormessa ge($db);
print ("'<span class=\"error\" > $errorMsg </span>'");
exit;

}//end if
}

$dataRow = odbc_fetch_arra y($Result);

}

did you mean function? or was this a copying error?
Anyway, if the error generated somewhere else than line 44 that was
*before* this line. Show the code from the start to line 44 instead (no
use for us to look for errors in line 44 forwards)

You spelled function wrong.

DOH!! Thanks guys, that was staring me right in the face and i missed
it - always good to have more eyes around - so used to having this
error from a missing " ; or { or something that i wasn't even thinking
to check for spelling errors.
