the error i get for edit-user.php is

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/www/php.arabian-outlaw.com/admin/pix/admin/edit-user.php on line 31

the code for it is

include("../includes/connect.php");


if($_POST['submit']) {

the last error is for news.php (the news reader)

the code for that is

ok its updated

I never knew that you knew PHP lol. ;)

yeah im learning but right now i need help anyone?

Edit you post and disable the smilies.

Than i can look at the code now it's messed up

Problem number one is missing a } although I suggest you tab the code out so that you can see which one needs closing

Problem number two is that the final echo is missing the ";" at the end

Problem three there is a closing "}" missing on the while loop

Final problem corrected line

<tr><td><small>Written by $author on $date</small></td></tr>
<tr><td>$content</td></tr>";```
