All of the sudden I'm getting this error messagearse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in D:\Hosting\xxxxxx on line 22The code on that line looks like this: \[code\]$theValue = http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14064421/($theValue !="") ? doubl$query_rs_get_categories = "SELECT * FROM talent_master_categories ORDER BY master_category_priority ASC";\[/code\]Here's the full snip of code from that page:\[code\]<?phpif (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValuehttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/14064421/= "", $theNotDefinedValuehttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/14064421/= "") { if (PHP_VERSION < 6) { $theValue = http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14064421/get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; } $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14064421/($theValue !="") ?
