i am trying to make a simple database template(?). adding and deleting from the mysql database worked fine untill I tried to add edit, the edit wont work. also it always says 'Record has been deleted from database', its only supposed to say that when you delete from it. I also tried to use a switch to control everything but nothing worked after that. can someone look at my code and tell me whats wrong? (my webhost doesnt support php so its just a text file.)

DiamondLil... you should really start a new post for this... this doesn't really relate to the subject post anymore ;-)
And just for the record... there is a shortcut syntax for echo'ing variables..

Code:
<input type="text" name="loaddate" value="<? echo $edit["loaddate"]; ?>">
Code:
<input type="text" name="loaddate" value="<?=$edit["loaddate"];?>">Standard response to one of my posts:

gerrygerry, sheesh give the guy a few stars and he's already booting me out of a thread...
just kidding.![[wink]](/data/assets/smilies/wink.gif "[wink] [wink]")
I'll start a new one next time -promise.
is that a shortcut that will work in versions earlier than 4.1?
daniel, i should have realized that about the ; but keep staring at the screen and even english characters start to look like they belong to a foreign language. You were right - I had a missing ' and a missing ) . Now at least I'm getting a new error that I can work on for a while. Thanks!

DiamondLil-
I think the shortcut syntax is version 3+ but I'm not sure. I say 3+ because I believe it was introduced simultaneously with the echo function.
I know for sure that it is only available if you have the 'short_open_tag' configuration enabled.
NOW GET OUT OF MY THREAD!
