I am writing a cgi script that is full of errors that I can not find
32 print "<tr>\n"; 33 print "<td bgcolor="#8080FF">\n"; 34 print "<h3>Message For:</h3>\n"; 35 print "</td>\n"; 36 print "<td colspan="2">\n"; 37 print "<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="for" VALUE="People" size="2" +>\n"; 38 print "<SELECT NAME="for\n"> 39 print "<OPTION VALUE="people">Dennis </OPTION>"; 40 print "<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="alex">alex</OPTION>
I am getting these errors:
syntax error at ./call_log line 39, near "<OPTION VALUE="people">Denni +s " Bareword found where operator expected at ./call_log line 40, near "<O +PTION SELECTED VALUE="alex">alex</OPTION" (Might be a runaway multi-line // string starting on line 39) (Missing operator before OPTION?) Bareword found where operator expected at ./call_log line 41, near "<O +PTION VALUE="andrew">andrew" (Missing operator before andrew?) Bareword found where operator expected at ./call_log line 42, near "<O +PTION VALUE="Irving">Irving</OPTION" (Might be a runaway multi-line // string starting on line 41)
Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Monk2b
