System: PHP4.06 + Mysql3.23.41 Win32 + Apache 1.3.20 Win32 + Win98 SE Chinese Version

When PHP is running at the line: $arr=mysql_fetch_array($res);
The IE always shows info as below:
"Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or
`T_NUM_STRING' in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\web\site1\list.php on line --[the number of line]"

What's the problem wiht mysql_fetch_array() or other?
What does the T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' mean?

THANKS
Mike


The full code below:

<?
$link=mysql_connect("localhost","","");
if($link==false){
echo "Failed linking to database.";
exit();
}
$handler=mysql_select_db("database1");
if($handler==false)
echo "Failed linking to database.";
$query="select count(*) from users where sign=1";
$res=mysql_query($query);
$row=mysql_fetch_row($res);
$all=$row[0];
$step=5;
$pages=ceil($all/$step);       /*the number of pages needed to listed */
if(empty($offset))
$offset=0;
$query="select user_id, user_name, time, status, comment from users
where sign=1
order by user_name
limit $offset, $step";
$res=mysql_query($query);
echo "<table><td align=center>User</td>
<td align=center>Added time</td><td align=center>Status</td></tr>";
$num=mysql_num_rows($res);
for($i=0; $i<$num; $i++) {
$arr=mysql_fetch_array($res);   /* HERE is line where the error occurs!!!
*/
echo "<tr><td align=center><a href=\"profile.php?id=$arr['user_id']\"
target='_top'>$arr['user_name']</a>></td>";
echo "<td align=center>$arr['time']</td>";
echo "<td align=center>$arr['status']</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td colspan=3>$arr['comment']</td></tr>";
}

echo "</table><br><br><br>";

echo "<table><tr><td align='center'>";  /* show others in multi-pages */
for($i=0; $i<$pages; $i++){
echo "<a href='$PHP_SELF?offset=$i*$step' target='_top'>";
echo ($i+1)."</a>";
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}
echo "</td></tr></table>";

?>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, it is not a bug!
I  finally found the reason for why does  the IE always show info as below:
"Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or
`T_NUM_STRING' in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\web\site1\list.php on line --[the number of line]"

It is because the echo (including print) doesn't work at the line
below,
echo "<tr><td><a href=\"profile.php?id=$arr['user_id']\"  target='_top'>";
showing the error info as I mentioned. ( but it should work according to PHP books)

It only works when  the $arr['user_id'] is out of the quotes.
echo "<tr><td><a href=\"profile.php?id=".$arr['user_id']."\"
target='_top'>";
then IE showed no error any longer.

So I have to let all $arr['key']  out of the quotes, then the scripts are Ok.

Not a bug, and BTW, this:

echo "<tr><td><a href=\"profile.php?id={$arr['user_id']}\" target='_top'>";

works too. (Use { } around it)
