syntax error in function argument
[PHP]// either
mysql_query("sq l" . $var)
// or
mysql_query("sq l $var")[/PHP]
don't forget to sanitize your input!

1. Try using code tags next time
2. Try changing the code to:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. $result=mysql_query("select company from dynamic where id=$id") or die(mysql_error()); 
  2.  
I have brought the variable inside the string.

Cheers

Mushfiq, to date you have named every thread you have started Dynamic Link. This explains nothing of the problem in this thread. We expect you to provide a meaningful title as it helps others who are searching the forum with the same problem.

Please take note of this as I have already warned you for not using code tags (and you have failed to do so again).

Read Posting Guidelines.

@divyac this will result in the same error (for exactly the same reasons) plus the quotation marks are in the wrong place

*sigh*

for some basics on strings read this

Hi everyone, I'm still rather new to PHP code, and I have a syntax error. I've tried several different solutions, but it won't fix. It seems to suggest that I need a new bracket somewhere in the offending line, but being amateur, I don't know where. I've tried putting one in several places, to no avail. Clearly, to solve this in a smaller period than a week I need someone with more skill to help out. Heh heh. The error is: Parse error:...
