The double quotes enclose the contents of the echo statement, but PHP chokes
because you have double quotes inside the echo statement. If the exact line
above worked under PHP3.x I'm surprised. Solutions include:
escaping the double quotes
echo "<TD>$row[\"ID\"]</TD>";
using no quotes or single quotes:
echo "<TD>$row['ID']</TD>";
echo "<TD>$row[ID]</TD>";
breaking apart the echo statement:
echo "<TD>" . $row["ID"] . "</TD>";
I don't think there's any way around this. If you got it to work
differently in PHP3 I'd like to know how. If for some reason you have a ton
of code you have to change now, you can write a PHP script which uses
regular expressions to find the double quotes to replace, write out the new
files and cycle through all your files. It really wouldn't be that hard,
but I still suspect that the double quotes would have been a problem in PHP3
too.
