What am I not seeing?

| I'm sure there is something simple here that I am overlooking... Too many hours staring at the computer probably, but I'm getting a PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in inst.php on line 11. The code below is lines 9, 10, and 11. Thanks in advance for your not-so-tired eyes' help.

| Are you sure it's from these lines?
The error you get means - most of the times - that you have forgotten the $ before the variable's name.

| I'm also hard pressed to see what's wrong here... it all looks fine to me,
here is a good debugging test. Comment out each line one by one and try running it. That way you know which line is the problem

| Nothing is wrong with this code. Are you sure this is the file which is named in the error. Maybe the error is in one of your include files.

| There are no syntax errors in the code you posted though none of it will work the way you expect it.
This could help:
$string = "This is string {$_POST['var']}";
or
$string = "This is string ". $_POST['var'] ;
Additionally, when using user submitted data in the database queries you need to clean it up a bit. At least do something like mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['var']) .

| Ok I fixed my stupid mistake - the mysql_connect() line I sanatized above. In reality I have the host/user/pass values actually typed into the function and didn't have the values enclosed in quotes....
