Hey guys, i'm getting this error whe i try to access this variable. $answers[answer$n]
Parse error: parse error, expecting `']'' in /home/blindtheory/web/quiz/add_quiz/add_quiz_process_2.php on line 36 the variable $answer[answers$n] comes from a form on the preceding page in which a number of answers has been entered. the number of answers is up to the user and can vary from 2 to 15. not the $n comes from a for loop whcih enteres the answers into a database since i do not know how many answers each user has used. why am i getting this error? and is there a way around it? following is the for() loop in which this story takes place. thanks Jule --SCRIPT-- for ($n = 1; $n <= $quiz[number_answers]; $n++) { $table = "$quiz[code]_answers"; $value = "$answers[answer$n]"; $query_alter_table = "ALTER table $table ADD answer$n TEXT NUT NULL"; $query_add_answers = "INSERT INTO $table (answer$n) VALUES($value)"; if (mysql_db_query($database_glob, $query_alter_table, $link_glob) AND (mysql_db_query($database_glob, $query_add_answer, $link_glob)); echo "Answer $n has successfully been added to the Quiz<br>\n"; } else { echo mysql_error(); } echo "Click here to continue"; } --SCRIPT-- -- |\/\__________________________/\/| | Jule Slootbeek | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://blindtheory.cjb.net | | __________________________ | |/\/ \/\| -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
