@bionoidDec 18.2011 — You were missing PHP tags around your closing while brace "}"

[CODE]<?php

ob_start();
include ("connection.php");

?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<?php

$result = mysql_query("select * from bulletin");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

?>
<li class="bullentin"><?php echo $row["bulDesc"]; ?></li>
[COLOR="Red"]<?php

}

?>[/COLOR]
</ul>
</body>
</html>[/CODE]

@dangerousprinceDec 18.2011 — Also, clean up your SQL:

[code=html]$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM bulletin");[/code]

I used to write like that and when you start using different words, it really mucks up the SQL. Think of it as grammar.

If it's syntax your suggesting, I would have made the statement more specific to the data being extracted...

[CODE]$result = mysql_query('SELECT b.bulDesc FROM bulletin b');[/CODE]

@RachelGomezSep 07.2022 — Parentheses are an important form of punctuation for many programming languages. It helps organize code, execute strings, and perform functions. Sometimes when a beginner is writing code, it is easy for them to forget how many parentheses have been used or if they are matched up correctly.

If one end of the parentheses is missing in the code, then it won’t be compiled. Furthermore, if the parentheses aren’t matched up correctly, then the code may perform the function incorrectly.

How to Fix It: If a syntax error appears, check to make sure that the parentheses are matched up correctly. If one end is missing or lined up incorrectly, then type in the correction and check to make sure that the code can be compiled.

Keeping the code as organized as possible also helps. If the parentheses are lined up or easy to spot, then a coder can keep track of them much more easily and not run into errors.

Greeting,

Rachel Gomez
