Hi,
I created an HTML page with the following code:
<html>
<body>
<form action="everif.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="12"><br>
First name: <input type="text" name="fname" size="12">
<input type="submit" value="OK">
</form>
</body>
</html>
and everif.php contains:
<?php
$fname= $_POST['fname'];
$name= $_POST['name'];
echo("<center>Hi $fname $name</center>");
?>
When I press OK from the HTML page 1 get:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/var/www/free.fr/d/c/parispain/everif.php on line 2
where line 2 is:
$fname= $_POST['fname'];
Why?
Thank you.

> <?php $fname= $_POST['fname'];
$name= $_POST['name'];
echo("<center>Hi $fname $name</center>");
?>
When I press OK from the HTML page 1 get:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/var/www/free.fr/d/c/parispain/everif.php on line 2
where line 2 is:
$fname= $_POST['fname'];
I am not sure but first of all you should check if $_POST['fname']; is set .
so it should be somthing like :
if (isset($_POST['fname'])) $fname = $_POST['fname'];
else $fname = "";
the same for the $_POST['name']
Try that ... but then again I am not sure if it solves your problem!!!
> echo("<center>Hi $fname $name</center>");
And This is not going to echo your $fname and $name ...
Do that:
echo ("Hello".$fname." ".$name);

Your code looks Ok to me. You don't need any brackets in the echo statement,
but it doesn't really matter.
Perhaps there's a problem with the line breaks in your PHP source. I think
PHP likes to see a carriage return and linefeed at the end of every line.
Some editors (especially on Mac systems) use carriage returns but no
linefeeds.

Who told you that? You can write a whole PHP script all on line without
any newlines or carriage returns if you want.

No, no need for that when using double quotes.

Me too. Did you copy and paste the code in your news post, or type it?
Your error could be from one space too many, for example after <? or $.

I just seem to recall having a few parse errors of my own before I set my
text editor up to use DOS line breaks.
I can't see what else could be wrong with the OP's script.
Can you?

I cut and paste the script so I do not think additional spaces could be
the origin of the problem.
However, I *AM* using a Mac and it could be a carriage return issue...

There are lots of decent free/shareware editors that might help. Try BBEdit
and JEdit, for example.

OK,
The issue was just an uncorrect unicode space character replacing a
normal space, around an '=' sign.
Thank you very much,
