hi, i keep getting this error and i just cant figure out what is wrong. i got this code off a book that uses php v 5.1.4 and my wamp server runs php v 5.2.5, could this be a problem? does anybody know where i could download a good free php texteditor/compiler?
here is the code, line 89 is marked in red..

if($_POST[fax_number] ) {
	$add_fax_sql = "INSERT INTO fax ("master_id", "date_added", "date_modified", "fax_number", "type") VALUES ('".$master_id."', now(), now(), '".$_POST["fax_number"]."','".$_POST["fax_type"]."')";
	$add_fax_res = mysql_query($mysql, $add_fax_sql)
		or die(mysql_error());
}

$add_fax_sql

i dont think this is valid. is it?

i dont think this is valid. is it?

no, i tried to highlight the line with the problem with the message text editor but it didn't work. thats why there is the color tags in there

You used double quotes for the statement, but used them within, too.

so change your line 89 to this

$add_fax_sql = "INSERT INTO fax (`master_id`, `date_added`, `date_modified`, `fax_number`, `type`) VALUES ('".$master_id."', now(), now(), '".$_POST["fax_number"]."','".$_POST["fax_type"]."')";

it now should work.
