Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$Email' (T_VARIABLE) on line 19

Question

Hi Guys i keep getting this error and have no idea on how to solve it.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$Email' (T_VARIABLE) on line 19.

here is a bit of the coding

$Telephone# = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['Telephone#']);

$Email = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['email']);<--ERROR HERE

$Vetter = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['Vetter']);

Sidenote: Use a prepared statement, it's safer than `real_escape_string()`, believe me when I say this. — Funk Forty Niner, Dec 31 '16 at 15:22

The error is on line above in line

$Telephone# = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['Telephone#']);

The # will comment out the rest leaving this for the parser:

$Telephone $Email = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['email']);

So just remove the #

Any basic editor would syntax-highlight this to clearly show the issue. Even the code on here is colour-coded to show it's a comment and therefore something's wrong. So either the OP isn't using even a basic code editor (notepad.exe??) or didn't bother to notice... – Niet the Dark Absol Dec 31 '16 at 15:29
