No errors on that line. Post lines before and after this line.

I promise no-one will steal your code... And if they do, then you can just be glad you are contributing to this little community. Just like you want someone to do for yourself.

BTW, no reason to double post.

Works fine on my test server, only thing changed was comment out

require_once("connect.php");

It's working for me as well. I don't get any parse errors.

The only thing that my test server doesn't like are the short tags.

I don't get any syntax errors either,
but you do have a problem with your code.

This line of code will give you a fatal error:

PHP Code:


			
$date = mktime("d - m - Y");

mktime() requires a numeric value and you are trying to assign it a string.

It needs to be like this:

PHP Code:


			
$date = mktime(date("d - m - Y"));
