I have a simple self registration PHP script (21lines) that I am testing. It fails with a parsing error at line 15 .
As my PHP knowledge is nil is anyone able to help me to get this working? If so I will post the script and error details.

AskWoody LoungerJanuary 2, 2007 at 10:36 am #1045414Thank you for your response. As my introduction to PHP I am using the scripts for registration, authentication and forgot password from the tutorial at the URL:
http://www.developertutorials.com/tutorial…0531/page2.html%5B/url%5DOn the host server I have created a database with a table (tbl_login) that has three fields. loginid, password & email. In my site (FP2003) I have a page registration.htm with a form (not FP’s) created from the sample HTML from the same tutorial. I also have a file register.php again based upon the sample PHP from the tutorial.
When I register on-line an error message is displayed:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘,’ in /home/domainname/domains/mydomainname.co.uk/public_html/register.php on line 15I have not changed line 15* that reads:
$sql=”INSERT INTO tbl_login (loginid, password and email) VALUES (“.$loginid. -

AskWoody LoungerJanuary 2, 2007 at 9:06 pm #1045422Now when register php is run there is a different error this time in the HTML immediately after the PHP script:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/mewalker/domains/mewalker.co.uk/public_html/membersarea/register.php on line 71Line 71:
I am attaching a copy of the register.php file in case that may show where the problem is.
BTW – I like your site – neat and workmanlike. I have looked at Joomla! but it’s very hard for a lazy old dog to learn new tricks!

AskWoody LoungerJanuary 2, 2007 at 12:55 pm #1045425Hi Malcolm
Easiest thing to do is delete it along with the corresponding closing tags at the bottom of the file just before
I have a feeling you are using Frontpage and it is doing its usual and chucking in loads of extra code. If you don’t fancy that try and get rid of all the tags using find and replace

AskWoody LoungerJanuary 2, 2007 at 2:56 pm #1045449Thank you Jerry. I realised after I had sent register.php as an attachment that something was amiss. I had forgotten to protect the PHP code with the opening and closing remarks (the less than symbol should follow?) . From previous experience FrontPage will not modify or add to a script so remarked.
So I have amended my register.php and deleted all the FP dross. Progress on the implementation of this script is on hold for the time being but I will report back probably tomorrow.
In the meantime my thanks to you and the other contributors – as always I am very grateful.

AskWoody LoungerJanuary 2, 2007 at 1:16 pm #1045430Ok, I’ve got it now. On line 63, the double-quote at the end of the line isn’t actually a double-quote – PHP isn’t recognising it as such. Changing that character to a real double-quote (just delete the existing one and type a new one) should solve the problem.
The screenshot below shows my view of the code – notice the offending quote is in green when all the others are orange.
