Code is 11 lines long, error on line 21

PHP
1

Here is my simple page:

<?php

include 'startSession.php'; 
include 'db.inc.php'; 

$uID	= $_REQUEST['uID'];

print ("$uID");

?>

Why do I get an error on line 21 when my code is only 11 lines long?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /home2/recordte/public_html/tools/wantInfo.php on line 21

The code looks fine and is most probably in one of the files that are included.

Try this:



<?php 

/*
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

include 'startSession.php';  

include 'db.inc.php';  

$uID    = $_REQUEST['uID']; 

print ("$uID"); 
*/ 
// ?> // not required

Start at the top and gradually start revealing the code one line at a time until you hit the error again.

What do you mean gradually start revealing the code? The piece that you gave me seems to be completely commented out.

thanks.

Yes, so uncomment the first line. If no error, uncomment the second line, If no error uncomment the third line.

Which file is wantInfo.php ?
Have you look at its line 21?

move the /* down a line to ‘un-comment’ it line by line…

As pointed out by Cranial_Bore your error lies in the script wantInfo.php

Post the contents of wantInfo.php

I suspect that one of your included files also includes the wantInfo.php file
