Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';''

[entoone]

I'm getting the following error Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or
`';'' in /home/notarywe/public_html/php/update2.php on line 108

Here is line 108

<input type="text" name="ud_first" value="<? echo "$first"
size="20"?>"></td>

Any help would be appreciated.

Please cross post instead of posting the same message separately to multiple
news groups.

The problem is your php statement <? echo "$first" size="20"?> is incorrect.
The correct syntax for it would be:
<? echo "$first size=\"20\"" ?> but I doubt that's what you want. try:
<input type="text" name="ud_first" value="<? echo "$first"; ?>"
size="20"></td>

Or, make it even easier to read:
<input type="text" name="ud_first" value="<?=$firs t?>" size="20">
