I am getting this error on line 24:

Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/getgscom/public_html/bf2matchplay/index.php on line 24

Code:

<?
include "config.php";

if (is_numeric($_GET['id']))
{
    $id = $_GET['id'];
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT platform,description,id,title,release_us,msrp,buylink,developer,publisher,esrb,genre,boxart FROM `gamepage` where id = $id") or die(mysql_error
        ());
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {
        $title = $row["title"];
        $description = $row["description"];
        $cat = $row['platform'];
        $release_us = $row['release_us'];
        $boxart = $row['boxart'];

I have run script below, and had no error... (??)

PHP Code:

  <?php

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/403434-resolved-parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected.html
echo nl2br("\n\n<a href='" . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . "'>Back</a>");

?>

The error is not with line 24. As with most PHP errors you are best looking at the line before the 1 mentioned.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=403434
You have the following:-

PHP Code:

  echo nl2br($title . "\n\n" . $description . "\n\n" . $cat . "\n\n" . $release_us . "\n\n" . $boxart . "\n\n" . $msrp . "\n\n" . $buylink . "\n\n" . $developer . "\n\n" . $publisher . "\n\n" . $esrb . "\n\n" . $genre");

    }

Notice near the end of the line you have a ". Remove this and the error will disappear.

I highly advise you to get an editor that checks your code as you write. For example I use Zend Studio. Spotting these types of errors are very easy. Without even running the script the IDE highlights that there is a problem with the line.

Take a look HERE as a demonstation.
