Error??

[webhost]

Can someone help with this

I have tried putting ; after the last > still does not work though.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '\"', expecting ',' or ';' in /home/usr/public_html/category.php on line 26

echo "<link href=""\"/base.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\">

[Boofo]

Try this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="base.css" />

[webhost]

Same here is what I have now

http://realwebhost.net/category.php




echo "<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 align=center width=100%>";
while(list($fid,$cid,$question,$answer,$timestamp) =mysql_fetch_row($sql_get_faq_questions1))
{
echo "<link rel="stylesheet" href="base.css" />

<tr>
<td valign=top>
<table>
<tr>
<td>

[Boofo]

Take the echo " out of it and try it. Just like I gave you.

[webhost]

Now get error line 29 is the first <tr>
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in


while(list($fid,$cid,$question,$answer,$timestamp) =mysql_fetch_row($sql_get_faq_questions1))
{
echo "<link href="/base.css" rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />";

<tr>
<td valign=top>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Q: $question
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 align=center width=100%>
<tr>
<td valign=top>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
A:$answer
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
} // end questions
?>

[mr e]

you have to escape all double quotes \" that are inside other double quotes


while(list($fid,$cid,$question,$answer,$timestamp) =mysql_fetch_row($sql_get_faq_questions1))
{
echo "<link href=\"/base.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" />

<tr>
<td valign=top>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Q: $question
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 align=center width=100%>
<tr>
<td valign=top>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
A:$answer
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
} // end questions
?>

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/user/public_html/category1.php on line 18

echo "<a href=""\"".$_SERVER['$PHP_SELF']."?cid=$cid\">$cname</a><br>";

[filburt1]

Note: every time I use a | below it's really a backslash (sometimes the board parses them):

echo "<a href=|"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?cid=$cid|">$cname</a><br>";

[webhost]

ok just about there, I have included page category.php which is the page above with your last change into http://realwebhost.net/faq1.php. Has you can see the page opens up great with all information looking the way it should. Now click on one of the catergories watch the page, the table and footer get screwy.

[webhost]

We have attached the 2 files for you to look at.

[Black Vivi]

faq1.php seems to be the specials page by its self actually...

[webhost]

<a href="http://www.realwebhost.net/faq1.php" target="_blank">http://www.realwebhost.net/faq1.php</a>

works here you might need to refresh or something

[mr e]

Just a note: you seem to be doing this alot ""\"" all you need is \"" an escaped quote and then a quote to exit out of the string, what you were doing with ""\"" is exiting then entering back into the string THEN escaping a quote and exiting again

echo "<a href=""\"".$_SERVER['$PHP_SELF']."?cid=$cid\">$cname</a><br>";

is bad

echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['$PHP_SELF']."?cid=$cid\">$cname</a><br>";

is good

[filburt1]

It's not $_SERVER['$PHP_SELF'], it's $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

[webhost]

That is what I have can someone around here tell me how to fix the font and footer problem please/.

[webhost]

Ok here is the file it is included in faq1.php as a include file.
http://www.realwebhost.net/faq1.php go there and click on one you will see the problem.


<?php
$dbi= mysql_connect('localhost','user','pass');
mysql_select_db('dbname');
$sql_get_faq_categories1_txt = "SELECT cid,cname FROM faq_categories1 WHERE cid IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2 0,21,22,23,24)";
$sql_get_faq_categories1 = mysql_query($sql_get_faq_categories1_txt);

if (!$sql_get_faq_categories1)
die ("Error displaying information. Please report this information to the administrator -- ".$sql_get_faq_categories1_txt . " - " . mysql_error());

echo("<link href=\"/base.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" />");

if (!$cid) {
$cid=1;
}

while (list($cid,$cname)=mysql_fetch_row($sql_get_faq_ca tegories1))
{

[Erwin]

This should be an easy fix. You posted this in your first post:

echo "<link href=""\"/base.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\">

You are missing a " at the end of that line, plus some additional "'s - it should look like this:

echo "<link href=\"/base.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\">"

Try that and see...

[webhost]

not easy as you think when i make the change you requested I lose all my categories. Sorry

[mr e]

@Erwin it was a multi-line echo, if you look down farther you'll see where it ended

[webhost]

can anyone help with this?
