seemingly simple parse error..

[CyRuD]

Hi all,

Im relatively new to php, coming from a more asp based background. I have recently aquired free hosting for php/mysql and am attempting to set up a simple database application to get familarised with the code.

I have got most of the pages sorted now but i am getting a parse error on this code.

//initial non dynamic part of table
printf(&quot;<TR><TD><B> Name </B></TD>
<TD><B> EMail </B></TD>
<TD><B> City </B></TD>
<TD><B> Description </B></TD>
<TD><B> Telephone </B></TD>
<TD><B>Modify_Delete</B></TD>
</TR>\n&quot;


this is really confusing me, as far as i can tell there is no problems but..................

Any replies/ideas would be appreciated..

Marcus...

Why are you using printf?

printf is format printing (such as right aligning currency values)

You need to be using echo or print:

echo &quot;<TR><TD><B> Name </B></TD>
<TD><B> EMail </B></TD>
<TD><B> City </B></TD>
<TD><B> Description </B></TD>
<TD><B> Telephone </B></TD>
<TD><B>Modify_Delete</B></TD>
</TR>\n&quot;;

or

print(&quot;<TR><TD><B> Name </B></TD>
<TD><B> EMail </B></TD>
<TD><B> City </B></TD>
<TD><B> Description </B></TD>
<TD><B> Telephone </B></TD>
<TD><B>Modify_Delete</B></TD>
</TR>\n&quot;
