Ive been trying to follow this very basic php+mysql guestbook for my site. The link is http://www.go4expert.com/forums/sho... Now the gbook.php file works perfectly. It is able to connect and write to the database. However the showgbook.php file comes up with an error when visiting. The error is: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/www/selena-quintanilla.com/Guestbook/showgbook.php on line 15" The code for both files are at the bottom of the link. I copied it exactly how it is in the site, filled in the database info and created the table in MySQL. I dont understand why im getting this error. Any help is appreciated Thanks in advance, -Matt

This line $sql"SELECT fname,location,email,UNIX_TIMESTAMP(dt),comments FROM guestbook ORDER BY dt"; Should be this $sql="SELECT fname,location,email,UNIX_TIMESTAMP(dt),comments FROM guestbook ORDER BY dt"; Michael J
