Apologies In Advance Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARI

Sorry everyone for bringing this to the fore again . I have Googled it to death and also tried many of the suggestions supplied in this forum . Been trying to fix this for 3 entire days with no luck . I am using Dreamweaver with Mysql to try and make a very simple form for a DVD movie database . Dreamweaver produces all the code . Here is the error I get on clicking the submit button :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /hsphere/local/home/lgmarina/losgigantesapartments.net/results10.php on line 13

and the first 20 lines of code :

PHP Code:

<?php $westerns = $_GET['westerns']; ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/connmovies.php'); ?>
<?php

$maxRows_Recordset1 = 10;
$pageNum_Recordset1 = 0;
if (isset($_GET['pageNum_Recordset1'])) {
  $pageNum_Recordset1 = $_GET['pageNum_Recordset1'];
}
$startRow_Recordset1 = $pageNum_Recordset1 * $maxRows_Recordset1;

$westerns_Recordset1 = "0";
if (isset(form.variable ("westerns"))) {;
  $westerns_Recordset1 = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? form.variable ("$westerns") : addslashes(form.variable ("$westerns"));
}
mysql_select_db($database_connmovies, $connmovies);
$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM movies WHERE %s = %s AND comedy = comedy AND childrens = childrens AND action = action AND drama = drama AND sciencefiction = sciencefiction AND musical = musical", $westerns_Recordset1,$westerns_Recordset1);
$query_limit_Recordset1 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_Recordset1, $startRow_Recordset1, $maxRows_Recordset1);
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_limit_Recordset1, $connmovies) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);

I am very new to this so if it is a blaringly obvious mistake I apologise in advance .

Thank you

What is the semi-colon after the '{' behind "westerns" ??

Thank you for the reply . If this is an error in the code removing it has made no difference as the error message persists :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /hsphere/local/home/lgmarina/losgigantesapartments.net/results10.php on line 13

That was just the first thing that seemed odd, but the error is still complains about line 13, which is the same line, so...

Taking a clue from the error (the or '$' part), on the same line, should "westerns" have the '$' (checking the form variable)?

Same as before , sorry . If this code is so far out , do you happen to know if Dreamweaver is responsible for generating these mistakes ?

If you comment-out that entire if check, does the error still appear?

No . But it then throws up this instead :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: variable() in /hsphere/local/home/lgmarina/losgigantesapartments.net/results10.php on line 16

Re: Apologies In Advance Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARI

This might be silly to ask, but for your *_Recordset1 variables, the western one is set to "0", and the others to a number (one has 0, the other 10), what is the difference? (thinking about the unexpected t_string)

Sorry Turbo . I can see the certain disparity there but I don't know for sure what the significance of means . This is day 4 of staring at this monitor and my brain is turning to slush now .

Re: Apologies In Advance Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARI

I told you my question was silly, for I see now how those are used.

I have found information implying that form values cannot be retrieved directly, rather the $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST must be used. (also there is a setting required in the php.ini file)

see if the last comment this bug entry (about retrieving data from forms): http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22615&edit=1
