Need help resolving a dang parse error

programming
1

I get the following when processing a form:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/niftytwo/public_html/submit_update.php on line 13
Here is the code Im working with:


<?php include('class_lib.php'); ?>
<?php

$n250_conn = new connect_to_db();
$n250_conn->connect_to_table("tablename");

$update_title = $_POST['update_title'];
$update_author = $_POST['update_author'];
$update_content = $_POST['update_content'];
$update_date = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
$final_date = date("Y/m/d", $update_date);

$add_update = mysql_query("INSERT INTO news_updates (update_title, update_author, update_content, update_date) VALUES ("$update_title", "$update_author", "$update_content", "$final_date"");

if ($add_update) {
    echo "Update Successful";
    } else {
        die('Update Failed: ' . mysql_error());
        }

I cannot seem to figure this one out, and have tried on multiple attempts to fix it. If I can get any assistance that would be great. :slight_smile:
