Good evening everyone.
I' just learing PHP and I've stumbled on a problem I can't resolve.

here is the code:

Code: Select all

<?php
	$table=<<<EOD
	<h2><center>Movie Review Database</center></h2>
	<table width='70' border='1' cellpadding='2'
	  cellspacing='2' align='center'>
	    <tr>
          <th>Movie Title</th>
          <th>Year of Release</th>
          <th>Movie Director</th>
          <th>Movie Lead Actor</th>
          <th>Movie Type</th>
        </tr>
      </table>
    EOD;

    echo $table;
?>

and here is my error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/public_html/php/table1.php on line 17

any help would appreciated
thank you,
joe

EOD must be the first sequence of characters on a newline, like below.

Code: Select all

<?php
	$table=<<<EOD
	<h2><center>Movie Review Database</center></h2>
	<table width='70' border='1' cellpadding='2'
	  cellspacing='2' align='center'>
	    <tr>
          <th>Movie Title</th>
          <th>Year of Release</th>
          <th>Movie Director</th>
          <th>Movie Lead Actor</th>
          <th>Movie Type</th>
        </tr>
      </table>
EOD;

    echo $table;
?>
