Hey, this is for a PHP gBook, i’m really crap when it comes to PHP scripts, anyone know this keeps saying Parse Error on line 21 ?(whats the one with the date bit on)…

<?php
 if ($message != '') 
 {
  $message = str_replace ("
","<br>",$message);
  $message = strip_tags ($message, '<br>');

  $newRow = '<div class="viewGuestbook">' . '<table width="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr> 
    <td align="left" valign="top">'. strip_tags ($name) .'</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top"></td>
  </tr>'  .
  	    '<tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top">'. ($message) .'</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top"></td>
  </tr>'
  	    '<tr>
    <td align="right" valign="top">'. date('d.m.Y') .'</td>
  </tr>
</table></div>';
  	      
  $oldRows = join ('', file ('guestbook.txt') );
  $fileName = fopen ('guestbook.txt', 'w');
  fputs ($fileName, $newRow . chr(13) . chr(10) . $oldRows);
  fclose ($fileName);
 }
 
 include ("guestbook.php");
?>

when you are printing something and you need to have quotes then you have to do "

somehting like

<td align=\"right\">

Not really, depends on the quotes, ’ is not like "…
but check this:



<td align="left" valign="top"></td>
  </tr>'  .
          '<tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top">'. ($message) .'</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top"></td>
  </tr>'
          '<tr>

you forgot the . in the second bolded part to concatenate it!
