Re: Help with echo

I've sorted it..

there was a spurious char in one of the lines..I spotted it by commenting
line 24 out - I then got the same error about 8 lines later.. by comparing
them to the others I realised the prob.. it all now works and the form
displays correctly..

if() syntax, from PHP manual:

if (expr)
statement

If you were just using pseudo-code, please copy the actual code. Parse
errors are often caused in preceding line.
