well, that is the standard error (besides missing semi-colon) I make when it comes to this error message.

I make it all the time! :-)

In reference to the other thread, I've been poking into PHP's source - it's very heady! Whew!

But I think it's well worth the effort to know definitively what PHP is doing under the covers when it comes to database interactions. I've been meaning to build some extensions for some time... I think you've given me the impetus to go for it!

Enough to blur your eyesight!

spotting the error was additionally eased by Atli’s code highligther script (it’s not perfect, but good enough)

This one. It's a little buggy but works well enough. Leave your thoughts on it in the feeback forum (the PHP syntax thread).

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:...
