Question

There has to be a easier way…
I keep getting this for the second line.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo ("'$MAP_OBJECT->addMarkerByCoords";
          "(\"";
          $row['longitude'];
          ",";
          $row['latitude'];
          ",\"";
          $row['routername'];
          "-";
          $row['desc'];
          "\", \"";
          $row['routername'];
          "-";
          $row['desc'];
          "<br><a href=\"./div/";
          $row['routername'];
          "\">Site Info</a>'");
    echo "<br />";
}

You have to combine with a . and not with ;

echo ("'$MAP_OBJECT->addMarkerByCoords" . 
      "(\"" .
      $row['longitude'] .
      ....

Have a look into the manual: http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.string.php
