Understanding Parse Error

[RAmeeti]

I am a newbie but am getting an error based on code that Dreamweaver wrote. I'm not seeing it. Is there something obvious I should be seeing or how to I get past this. Thanks.

Parse error: parse error in /test.php on line 4

<?php require_once('Connections/WinestoreConn.php'); ?>
<?php
$maxRows_Top3 = 3;
$pageNum_Top3 = 0;
if (isset($_GET['pageNum_Top3'])) {
$pageNum_Top3 = $_GET['pageNum_Top3'];
}
$startRow_Top3 = $pageNum_Top3 * $maxRows_Top3;

There's nothing obviously wrong in the code snippet that you have
posted. Did the parse error give any further details?

It sure would be neat if it did! 🙂 I have another page that previews fine in my browser but this page only displays that single line when previewing. (The actual path to the file is more complete in the error.)

What might you suggest I do from here? I am just trying to work through some examples in a tutorial. 😞

If you copied and pasted the example, make sure there are no unwanted
characters. BTDT.

Can someone please tell me why I am getting parse error. I am very new to this and all I did was just switched a field in my recordset. Not sure what is causing the parse error now..The browser shoing the error on ;ine 70.

$totalPages_shopping_db = ceil($totalRows_shopping_db/$maxRows_shopping_db = 10;

Thanks. Karamat

if (isset($_GET['totalRows_shopping_db'])) {
  $totalRows_shopping_db = $_GET['totalRows_shopping_db'];
} else {
  $all_shopping_db = mysql_query($query_shopping_db);
  $totalRows_shopping_db = mysql_num_rows($all_shopping_db);
}
$totalPages_shopping_db = ceil($totalRows_shopping_db/$maxRows_shopping_db = 10;

$pageNum_shopping_db = 0;
if (isset($_GET['pageNum_shopping_db'])) {
  $pageNum_shopping_db = $_GET['pageNum_shopping_db'];
}
$startRow_shopping_db = $pageNum_shopping_db * $maxRows_shopping_db;

mysql_select_db($database_shopping, $shopping);

$totalPages_shopping_db = ceil($totalRows_shopping_db/$maxRows_shopping_db = 10;

That line should look like this:

$totalPages_shopping_db = ceil($totalRows_shopping_db/$maxRows_shopping_db)-1;
