I am working on a project in school and need some help.

This is the code I have got:

<?phpecho
// Include the database connection file.

if($_GET['debug']=='testmode') // add ?debug=testmode for diagnostics
{
	$debugit=1;
	$debugpar='?debug=testmode';
}
else
{
	$debugit=0;
	$debugpar='';
}

The error I am getting is:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /home/***/public_html/project/calculator.php on line 4

Does anybody understand why it is not working. The only thing I can understand is the it doesn't notice the closing and opening tag.

Is that the whole file?

At the start you have <?phpecho. You don't need an echo statement there, just <?php goes at the start of the script - always.

That's why there is an unexpected if statement in the error.

You also have no ending tag (?>), if that is the whole file.

No it isn't but thanks. I had got it working then tried adding more into it. And messed it up, I have changed it from <?phpecho and it seems to work. Thanks, shame my teacher can't help

No problem. echo is a PHP statement used to write text/HTML on a page. Just be sure to leave a space between the PHP opening tag and statements.

Actually sorted that out quite easy, I read my error more through lol.

The '.' error is on line 227. Would somebody help as I am totally stuck.

while ($i< $num ) // For every row
	{
		// Get the car details to show on the screen
		$output .= 'Annual Carbon Footprint (KgCO2) = ' . ($co2ingrams / 1000 + $co2inkgpublictrans + $totalflying); . '<br>'
		$output .= 'Annual Carbon Footprint due to car only = ' . ($co2ingrams / 1000); . '<br>'
		$output .= 'Annual Carbon Footprint due to public transport only = ' . ($co2inkgpublictrans); .'<br>'
		$output .= 'Annual Carbon Footprint due to flying only = '. ($totalflying); . '<br>'
		$output = 'Car Type ' . mysql_result($result,$i,"Description") . '<br>';
		$output .='Transmission ' . mysql_result($result,$i,"Transmission") . '<br>';

A few lines before and after.

Line 227 is line4 there,

$output .= 'Annual Carbon Footprint (KgCO2) = ' . ($co2ingrams / 1000 + $co2inkgpublictrans + $totalflying); . '<br>'

Have you defined the $output variable before the while statement?

If not, just remove the full stop, like this. I also changed a few things - you had the semicolons in the wrong spots.

while ($i< $num ) // For every row
	{
		// Get the car details to show on the screen
		$output = 'Annual Carbon Footprint (KgCO2) = ' . ($co2ingrams / 1000 + $co2inkgpublictrans + $totalflying) . '<br>';
		$output .= 'Annual Carbon Footprint due to car only = ' . ($co2ingrams / 1000) . '<br>';
		$output .= 'Annual Carbon Footprint due to public transport only = ' . ($co2inkgpublictrans) .'<br>';
		$output .= 'Annual Carbon Footprint due to flying only = '. ($totalflying) . '<br>';
		$output .= 'Car Type ' . mysql_result($result,$i,"Description") . '<br>';
		$output .='Transmission ' . mysql_result($result,$i,"Transmission") . '<br>';

Should be fine now.
