unexpected t constant encapsed string on line 14 below. what is it please?

php language

Code:



<? php



$ID = uniqid("userID"); 



$db = mysql_connect("localhost","xxxxx","xxxxx"); 



mysql_select_db (secretDB); 



$result = mysql_query ("INSERT INTO users (id, real_name, username, password, email) 

                VALUES ('$ID', '$real_name', '$username', '$userpass', 

'$email')              "); 

if(!$result) 

{ 

  echo '<b>User not added:</b>' , mysql_error(); 

  exit; 

} 

if($result) 

    { 

    mysql_close($db); 

    print "User <b>$username</b> added sucessfully!"; 

    } 

else 

{ 

print ("Wrong Password"); 

} 

?>

and what am i supposed to change the uniqueid to ?

line 14 :

Code:

echo 'User not added:' , mysql_error();

i tried it with double quotations too

Code:

echo "User not added:" , mysql_error();

What language?

Just from a wild wild guess base on common languages I would say replace the , by +

thanks for the reply. it is php language [ i edited the 1st post to reflect]

i attempted your solution, it didnt work.

thanks though

The string concatenation character in PHP is the dot.

So try: echo 'User not added:'.mysql_error();

Hmm, thinking about it, that might not work. Try a two liner:

$errmsg=mysql_error();
echo "User not added:$errmsg"
