    Chapter 6 - Parsing Error...

    in PHP for the Web: Visual QuickStart Guide (4th Edition)

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I've been working this script and up until this section everything has been fine. Not sure what is causing this error - I ran it through a couple different debuggers and they do not report errors. My IDE (Coda 2) does say their is a parsing error on line 2, but I don't see it. Anything?

     

    Love the book. Way easier to use than anything else I've tried.
