Question

i have this php code and keep on getting errors upon fixing each error. my code is as follows:

    <?php 
$id = $_GET['election'];

$result = mysql_query(
    sprintf("
        SELECT votes.party, COUNT(votes.vote_id)
        FROM votes
        WHERE election_id = %d
        GROUP BY election_id, votes.party
        ORDER BY COUNT(votes.vote_id) DESC",
        mysql_real_escape_string($id)
    )
);


$votes = false;
$winners = array();

while ( ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result) ) && ( ($votes==false) || ($row['vote_count']===$votes) ) ) {
  $winners[] = row['party'];
  $votes = $row['vote_count'];
}
echo '<hr><h3>'.'Results</h3><hr>'.'<h4>'.implode(' and ', $winners).' won with '.$votes.'</h4>';

?>

error is:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/jahedhus/public_html/system2/electoral/countvotes.php on line 84

line 84 is:

$votes = $row['vote_count'];

any ideas guys? thanks in advance

Answer 1

You’re missing the $ on $winners[] = row['party']; It should be $winners[] = $row['party'];
