Problem

[neilmurray]

I am getting the following error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/neil/web/adm_diskusi.php on line 14

where line 14 is
echo "Pilih Topic : <select class='entri' onChange="window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">";
thanks
Neil.

replace your line:

echo "Pilih Topic : <select class='entri' onChange="window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">";

with:

echo "Pilih Topic : <select class='entri' onChange=\"window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value\">";

note that I added \ characters.

Too many double quotes in your string.

You wrote:

echo "Pilih Topic : <select class='entri' onChange="window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">";

Try this:

echo "Pilih Topic : <select class='entri' onChange=" . '"window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">';

I use double quotes if my string contains single quotes and single quotes if it contains double quotes. You can also escape the double quotes, but I think the resulting source looks sloppy.

$str = "this is\"a test\"";
$str2 = 'this is "a test"';
if ($str == $str2) echo "equal";

Also, determine what would be better for you. XHTML requires double quotes, so you might embed your html strings in single quotes:

echo 'Pilih Topic : <select class="entri" onchange="window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">';

There is also the heredoc syntax (in which variables are interpolated):

print <<<END
Pilih Topic : <select class="entri" onchange="window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
END;
