Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"', expecting '-' or identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING) on line 17 in PHP

Question

at line 17 I've this line of code

$sq="insert into batch_content(bid,sid,joining_date) values('1','$_SESSION["id"]','$date');";

I can't figure what am I doing wrong?

Have a look at the syntax highlighting here and your error should become fairly obvious. — Sirko

Wrong double quote sequence

$sq="insert into batch_content(bid,sid,joining_date) 
        values('1','" . $_SESSION["id"] ."','$date');";

but remeber that you are risk of sqlinject using php var in sql You should use binding_param .. so take a look at the sql driver you are using for this

Worked Finally. But can you please answer ' ". varible." ' what is it mean?

ScaisEdge Over a year ago

' ". " ' this mean that the string are concatenaed .. in PHP the dot . is for concatenating string .. so in your case you have double quote at start and double quotes around the index in SESSION and have error .. using string concatenation is common way for these situation ...but don't use var in sql .. look for binding param
