    Hi
    Can someone fix this code:
      echo "<a href=\"readarticle.php?id=$id\">{$row['title']}</a>" .'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'. 'by'.'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'. {$row['name']}. "<br />";
    PHP:
    It is in the code below
    <?php
include'global.php';
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20");
?>
<html>
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<p align=right>
<?
while( $row=mysql_fetch_array($result))  {
  $id=$row['id']; 
  echo "<a href=\"readarticle.php?id=$id\">{$row['title']}</a>" .'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'. 'by'.'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'. {$row['name']}. "<br />";
}
?>
    PHP:
    and sending:
    Parse error: parse error in g:\programs\easyphp1-8\www\takfekr\htdocs\home.php on line 13

    Right at the end of that line you have {$row['name']} as a straight variable (not inside a double quoted string). The curly brackets are only used when embedded in a double quoted string. Try just $row['name'] instead.
