Hi there I've been having some problem getting to the root of this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/ultima44/public_html/global_func.php on line 398

On line 398:

removed by op

Now I know that sometimes PHP isn't exact and sometimes the error might be on the line before so here is the full page:

removed by op

Im not brilliant at PHP but have some experience. It looks like you havent opened your while loop.
The line before should be

while($r=$db->fetch_row($q) {

Give that a go. It should help.

Okay fixed the problem (I think) I simply replaced the file with an earlier version that I made for backup. But then I got a unexpected "(" I looked around the and found this function Theme_dropdown($connection,$ddname="Theme",$select ed=-1) notice the gap near the end of select and ed I can't think of any variable with the value of -1 so I removed the space and voila! The page is sorted (now it was on to the next page) This is something I really don't understand.

error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /home/ultima44/public_html/header.php on line 3

Line 3 in header.php:

removed by op

The whole page:

removed by op

Any ideas with this one as I don't understand the error

line 96:
$q = $db->query("SELECT * FROM Theme WHERE ThemeDATA='{$_POST['Theme']}'");

It would be really helpful if you quit removing code. The idea of a forum is to solve problems so that others can benefit. Since I now have no idea of what you are trying to accomplish all I can say, based on what code is left, is that you cannot have html tags in your sql query. As it is, the query is meaningless. If you are trying to pull all of the data from a table, then your query would be something like 'select * from myTable'.

This should work (depending on how your server is set up):

$q = $db->query("SELECT * FROM Theme WHERE ThemeDATA='{$_POST['Theme']}'");

This is assuming that your table has a column named ThemeDATA. I suspect that you might really be looking for this:

$q = $db->query("SELECT * FROM Theme WHERE Theme='{$_POST['Theme']}'");

or

$q = $db->query("SELECT * FROM Theme WHERE Theme=" . $_POST['Theme']);

The problem is not with your php. The problem is with your sql. Programming languages work in completely consistent manners according to the rules by which they were designed.

I continously remove the code because I don't want a huge portion of my site exposed

I only have a table called ThemeID. You were right! It was the html tags. I did have a doubt at the back of my head about them but didn't think would make much difference thanks for the help. I can fix all the other bugs using this scenario I think. That's the problem handling code that's 4 years old...

I'm not sure what that means. Either your code is correct, or it isn't. If you have syntax in places that it doesn't belong, it will never work, period. Whether the code is 4 years old or 14, it makes no difference.
