Ok well my friend wrote me a ShortUrl script and I continue to get a

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/janqed/public_html/index.php on line 37

Well Heres line 37..

echo "Thank you! Your new Short URL is <a href='http://www.Lolurl.net/$newid'>http://www.Lolurl.net/$newid</a><br /><a href="index.php">Go Back</a><br /> ";

Any help would be great thanks ahead of time!

Allright thanks man now it says it on line 39..

lol this is getting old

echo "You did not specify your current URL<br /><a href="index.php">Go Back</a><br /><br />";

w00t I got it thanks so much you even taught me something ' can be inside of " but " cant be inside of ' ;]

mark as solved,if everything is working fine

w00t I got it thanks so much you even taught me something ' can be inside of " but " cant be inside of ' ;]

' can be inside " and " can be inside ', but ' can't be inside ' just like " can't be inside ", but \' and \" can be used to escape the quotes so they are a character in the string, rather than the end.
