Good morning Everyone,

I'm have trouble with a simple HTML Checkbox list. I keep getting *Parse
error*: syntax error, unexpected '>'. I'm sure I'm doing something really
simple and basic wrong I just cannot seem to see what it is, any assistance
is appreciated.

Script:



$sql = "SELECT * FROM melstatus WHERE custID=$custID ORDER BY
aircraftRegistration";

$q = mysql_query($q)
or die ("could not execute query.");

echo "

    \n;

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($q))
    {
    echo "
  • ".$row['melID']." name="\".$row['melID].\""/input> ";

    • \n";
    }
    echo "


?>


Many Thanks

Haig

    You're escaping in the wrong places. The \ escapes the character
    following it, so what you are doing here, in line 2, is breaking out of
    the string with a regular " and then printing a " (escaped \") Also, I
    think you need to brush up on your HTML a bit, as



    is not valid HTML.


    Thanks,

    Reading again, it's not just one miss. You have to close some strings, esca=
    pe some quotes, etc I think this can be right: $sql =3D "SELECT *=
    FROM melstatus WHERE custID=3D$custID ORDER BY=0AaircraftRegistration";=0A=
    =0A $q =3D mysql_query($q)=0A or die ("could not execute quer=
    y."); echo "

    =0A
      e'>\n"; while($row =3D mysql_fetch_array($q))=0A {=0A =
      echo "
    • ".$row['melID']." 'melID']."\"/> "; echo "
      • \n";=0A }=0A echo " >
    "; =0AI'd recomend you to get a good text editor with sint=
    ax highlighting if you haven't one. It would warn you from most of these mi=
    stakes. And an xhtml issue: to use an empty tag, you use and no=
