syntex error

Post by cs1h »

Hi,

I'm getting the following error from a form proccessor,

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in D:\Inetpub\vhost\myroho.com\httpdocs\adding.php on line 25

the form proccessor is as follows,

Code: Select all

<?php 

//This is the directory where images will be saved 
$target = "images/"; 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); 

//This gets all the other information from the form 
$continent=$_POST['menuSubjectsDMA']; 
$country=$_POST['menuFilesDMA']; 
$type=$_POST['Catagory'];
$Email=$_POST['Email']; 
$Title=$_POST['title']; 
$Abstract=$_POST['message'];
$Article=$_POST['messagetwo'];  
$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']); 

// Connects to your Database 
mysql_connect("localhost", "sdfdsdf", "dsffdsdf") or die(mysql_error()) ; 
mysql_select_db("asdsda") or die(mysql_error()) ; 

//Writes the information to the database 
mysql_query($sql = "insert into `items` (`continent`, `country`, `type`, `Email`, `Title`, `Abstract`, `Article`, `photo`) values ('$continent', '$country', '$type', '$Email', '$Title', '$Abstract', '$Article', '$pic')") ; 
`  
//Writes the photo to the server 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{ 

//Tells you if its all ok 
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; 
} 
else { 

//Gives and error if its not 
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
} 
?>
Any help would be appriciated,

thanks

Check out how you close this query.

Code: Select all

//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query($sql = "insert into `items` (`continent`, `country`, `type`, `Email`, `Title`, `Abstract`, `Article`, `photo`) values ('$continent', '$country', '$type', '$Email', '$Title', '$Abstract', '$Article', '$pic')") ;
