Can anyone please tell why i get this?

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/rubberne/public_html/drs/edit.php on line 33

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>">

You're missing a semicolon.

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>">
------------------------------------------------^

<form method="post" action="<?php echo "$PHP_SELF" ?>">

No colon needed.

Steve.

Yes, or that way I just don't like using quotes You don't need them, as long as you put a space after it.

// Edit
Never mind, my mind is somewhere else. The ? isn't a valid variable character, you shouldn't even require a space. The original code should work. The error is likely somewhere before the line it pointed to.

sorry, but why not use the method:

<?=$PHP_SELF?>

This is a perfectly viable, and far simpler alternative...

That requires the php.ini setting 'short_open_tag' to be on. Using the short tags are depreciated.

You think so?
I'd say about 99% of servers running PHP allow short tags, and most coders use them.

Chroder the only reason i suggested it is every install of PHP is pre-configured with short tags turned on, the only way that they are not going to work is if you have manually turned them off...

I never said it doesn't work and won't work, just that it's depreciated

probably is one the line before
