Probably a simple error...

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

I'm getting the error -- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/content/c/s/t/csteffen242/html/staples/event.php on line 46

I checked it over and couldn't find anything wrong with an extra bracket, but I could easily be missing something simple

Code: <html>

<body>

$mysqli = mysqli_connect ---

//add new event

$m = $_POST["m"];
$d = $_POST["d"];
$y = $_POST["y"];

$event_date = $y."-".$m."-".$d." ".$_POST["event_time_hh"].":
".$_POST["event_time_mm"].":00";
$insEvent_sql = "INSERT INTO calendar_events (event_title, event_shortdesc, event_start) VALUES ('".$_POST["event_title"]."', '".$_POST["event_shortdesc"]."', '$event_date')";
$insEvent_res = mysqli_query($mysqli, $insEvent_sql) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));
} else {
$m = $_GET["m"];
$d = $_GET["d"];
$y = $_GET["y"];
}

//show events
$getEvent_sql = "SELECT event_title, event_shortdesc, date_format(event_start, '%1:%i %p') as fmt_date FROM calendar_events WHERE month(event_start) = '".$m."' AND dayofmonth(event_start) = '".$d."' AND year(event_start)= '".$y."' ORDER BY event_start";
$getEvent_res = mysqli_query($mysqli, $getEvent_sql) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));

if (mysqli_num_rows($getEvent_res) > 0) {
$event_txt = "<ul>";
while ($ev = @mysqli_fetch_array($getEvent_res)) {
$event_title = stripslashes($ev["event_title"]);
$fmt_date = $ev["fmt_date"];
$event_txt .= "<li><strong>".$fmt_date."</strong>:

$event_txt .= "</ul>";
mysqli_free_result($getEvent_res);
