hi,

I'm using Dreamweaver MX and I've got a problem with 2 pages including repeated zones. I added to these pages a dynamic text, and after this, in test mode I have a parse error at last line of the code. It seemed to me my code was clear.

So I opened these pages with WebExpert, and I saw Dreamweaver added comments in dynamic navigation bar which were breaking php code. I removed them so the code was clear, but in test mode nothing changed and the parse error was still there.

Has somebody an idea to help me ?

Thank's a lot for your time.

Maybe you can help us by showing the code that you are getting the error with?

hi guys,
Im having the same problem but im using dreamweaver8 instead. bear with me I'm very new at php.
Im trying to insert multiple rows into the same table so I mixed some code I saw online with the code generated in dreamweaver and then when I tried running the page I got the error

Parse error: parse error in C:\wamp\www\student information system\student_list_attendance.php on line 292

line 292 is the last line

here is my code//////////

Hi there, this error usually means you're missing a closing curly brace in your code somewhere.

Php-coder, your unclosed curly brace is on line 108. Just glancing at your code, it looks like you'd want to put the closing brace around line 130, under this line.

header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));

May I also suggest you add an exit; after that line. This stops any more code from being processed when you're doing a redirect.

Hi
Mvied, Thanx a lot. I followed your advice and now the error's gone. The page is diplaying but I havn't been able to make the multiple insert work, do you (or any one) think you could help with that too
