Hi folks I've got the following code which generates Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/html/consumables.html on line 290
when I try to run it. The script doesn't run because of the parse error $orderSQL=~s/TOTAL/$or_total/; $orderSQL is a string containing a number of SQL statements with the placeholder &total; and $or_total has a value of '695.76' I've done this many times in the past without a problem. If I add a modifier, such as $orderSQL=~s/TOTAL/$or_total/g; the script runs, but the error changes to a runtime error: Warning: Division by zero in /home/httpd/html/consumables.html on line 290 which for some reason it displays twice.
