WampServer

I am learning PHP using SAMS Teach Yourself PHP book, and using the WampServer as a local host has been very helpful. However I've run into a problem with a script to add to a MYSQL database. I wasn't sure about posting the whole script, so I've only included the part that seems to be causing the problem - please let me know if I need to post or send the whole script.

The rest of the script conects to the server and database, and uses $_REQUEST to retrieve the values entered into the form. With the script below included within the php tags (as the in the book), I get a parse error on line 64 when the script is only 63 lines. I'd be grateful for any suggestions to what is going wrong.

function write_form(){
print <<<EOF
<form method="post" action="{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}">
//form details
<p><input type ="submit" value="submit"/></p>
</form>
FORM;
}


Thanks for your help

Its your HEREDOC statement that is causing the error. Your identifiers do not match

print <<<EOF
...
FORM;

FORM; should be EOF; instead.

Please read PHP Manual on HEREDOC syntax usage
[www.php.net]

Thank you for your help. I thought that might be the problem, but hadn't encountered the HEREDOC statement before to be able to work out what was wrong. The script is now working.
Thanks again
Jeff
