Joseph, include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/html/books_layout.html'; unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' What might be causing the confusion? include() is a function, so you need to surround the address with brackets, like this: include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

Joseph, This is the foreach: foreach ($xml_tree[PRODUCTINFO][0][DETAILS] AS $product) { Followed by a set of lines which are variations on this cut and paste $product_manufacturer = $product[MANUFACTURER][0][VALUE]; Try sticking quotes round the array indices (the bits in square brackets):

Jon, 120 apostrophes and deletions later I can confirm that that wasn't it! Would you believe it moved on when I took the quotes away from DOCUMENT ROOT ?And wants double quotes round 'echo' strings And I have had to take more quotes away! But now I am getting this, and I can't remember

Joseph, And I have had to take more quotes away! PHP's quote handling is a bit strange and can take some getting to grips with :-) Strings inside double quotes are parsed, meaning you can do this sort of thing: // my pet is a cat $pet = cat; echo my pet is a $pet.; Strings inside

What do you folks use for your copy/backup software when copying/backing up to CD? When I bought my CD Writer I got a copy of Nero bundled free with it. Research using Google seemed to show it was the most popular. Now, however, I've discovered that it does not back-up multi-level directories!

You mean Nero won't let you burn a directory/folder and all of the files in it to a cd just as a copy operation? For the type of clients you describe a copy rather than a back up would be the best way. FWIW, I prefer to back-up by making copies since I've had horrible luck with compressed

Forward slashes should be fine. What database are you using, and what's the data type of the field that's causing you problems? Perhaps you can supply the SQL statement too? Amrit Hallan wrote: How do we add records to an SQL table that contains forwarded slashes? It gives an error when i try

Stephen, I'm using html-kit which is probably similar, using colour and bold to show what is happening. Of course it needs me to know what it is signifying, which is beginning to happen! But the quotes do not stand out, though sometimes the part affected is visible by being the wrong colour.
