Amazing. Maybe more a PHP problem.
This little phscript works perfect with PHP 5.0 and Mysql 5.0 ...under
Windows with IE and Netscape 8.0. Exactly the
same script gives a syntax error on line: b=<?=$rec?> (little green arrow
pointing to <?) with PHP 5.0 and Mysql 5.0
and Netscape 7.2 under Linux (redhat 9.0).
The script code:
<html><body>
<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "pw")
or die("Impossible de se connecter : " . mysql_error());
$dbsel = mysql_select_db('mydb', $link);
$sql = "SELECT logon, number FROM mytable";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$rec=mysql_num_rows($result);
echo $rec; // = 12
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
b = <?=$rec?>; // error line
alert(b);
</script>
</body></html>
(Variable $rec = 12 )
I really don't know what's wrong with this code ...
Do you?
Thanks

Well, you haven't said whether you're getting a PHP syntax error or a
JavaScript error. If it's JavaScript error, then the PHP has nothing to
do with it, and vice versa. Either way, it's nothing to do with MySQL
(this is evident from the fact that echo $rec; gives a value).
In future, please learn to narrow down the possible causes, and post to
appropriate groups accordingly, as well as snipping irrelevant bits of code.
Note that whether you're able to use <?= ?> tags is
configuration-dependent, namely "short tags" option. Look it up in the
manual...

The error is not related to PHP version, MySQL version, your OS or
(PHP errors never are) to the browser. The problem is probably
related to your PHP settings. In the first case (when the script
works) you have short tags turned on, and in the second case
you have short tag turned off.
Read about "short_open_tag" setting in "php.ini" (or --enable-short-tags
configuration directive).
In general usage of short tags is discouraged because it makes
your script less portable (it will not work with short tags turned
off).
Change this:
b = <?=$rec?>;
to this:
b = <?php echo $rec; ?>
and the script will work regardless of short tags being on or off.
(Also do not use "<?" instead of "<?php" - it's also a short tag,
not only "<?=").

He's improving; over in a.w.webmaster he's been responding to posts from
May of this year. If he keeps this up, in a week he'll be replying to
threads from 1997.

Re: WorldWideWeb: Summary
Dear Tim Berners-Lee,
Thanks for telling us about the WorldWideWeb, any idea when this will be
implemented?
Thanks,
