I keep getting this error. I am working through an assignment in a PHP MySQL book and new to this. If anyone could help that would be great.

I inserted dummy words for the password and host name for privacy reasons

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/21/8794321/html/report.php on line 26

Dependent on which state your house is in, the mortgage bank either details a Discover of Default (NOD) and files a judicial foreclosures lawsuit about the borrower.From the moment the home foreclosure is community information, it's relatively readily accessible.<br />
<br />
For that reason, depending what is the right property I'm focused on, I either instigate a search within the county courthouse or even I grab the information originating from a legal newspaper which includes done the trying to find me.<br />
<br />
The most difficult part is picking up a property having any equity involved.What I'm seeking out is a finance To Significance (LTV) with 80% or less.As an illustration, if a home has market value in $100, 000, the household can't owe beyond $75, 000 -$80, 000 relating to the property

I've just started playing around with php and mysql. I'm trying to code a sort of inventory website for our school district. I've got pretty much everything working, such as pulling records by asset tag numbers, adding new records, pulling a report of serial numbers and the computer name, doing a checkin (basically putting an X in the checkin field). The only problem I'm having is on my update page.

<?php
include("dbinfo.inc.php");
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

$term = $_POST['term'];
$sql = mysql_query("select * from Inventory where assettag = '$term' ");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo '<br/> SerialNumber: '.$row['SerialNumber'];
echo '<br/> ComputerName: '.$row['ComputerName'];
echo '<br/><br/>';
}
?>

<form id="FormName" action="updated.php" method="post" name="FormName">
<table width="448" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">

<tr>
<td width="150" align="right"><label for="ComputerName">Computer Name</label></td>
<td><input name="ComputerNamenew" maxlength="" type="text" value="<?php echo $ComputerName ?>"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width="150" align="right"><label for="SerialNumber">Serial Number</label></td>
<td><input name="SerialNumbernew" maxlength="" type="text" value="<?php echo $SerialNumber ?>"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input name="" type="submit" value="Update"></td>
</tr>

</table>
</form>

The first part works, and pulls the information I want. The part with the form doesn't work at all. I really don't even need the top part (the echoing part) if I could figure out the text boxes and have the mysql data show up in the boxes. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
