PHP Help

I'm working through one of the examples I I have in a book, and I am getting parser errors when trying to run it.

What is wrong with this?

<?php
//Print a greeting if the form was submitted
if ($_POST['user']) {
print "Hello, ";
//Print what was submitted in the form parameter called 'user'
print $_POST['user'];
print "!";
} else {
//Otherwise print the form
print <<<_HTML_
<form method="post" action="$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]">
Your name: <input type="text" name="user">
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Say Hello">
</form>
_HTML_;
}
?>

 

PHP:

<?php
//Print a greeting if the form was submitted
if ($_POST['user']) {
print "Hello, ";
//Print what was submitted in the form parameter called 'user'
print $_POST['user'];
print "!";
} else {
//Otherwise print the form
print <<<_HTML_
<form method="post" action="$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]">
Your name: <input type="text" name="user">
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Say Hello">
</form>
_HTML_;
}
?>


 

PHP:

<?php
//Print a greeting if the form was submitted
if ($_POST['user']) {
     echo "Hello, ";   //Print what was submitted in the form parameter called 'user' 
    echo $_POST['user'];
    echo  "!";
} else {
   //Otherwise print the form
   ?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] ?>">
Your name: <input type="text" name="user">
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Say Hello">
</form>
<?php
}
?>


Would do exactly the same thing

 

was wondering if you could do that in PHP.. pulled out my book to find out but you beat me to it ..

 

Close!

Line 18

Which seems strange.

 

Even though it said line 18, that fixed it.

Thanks a ton
