parse error: parse error

Question

I was messing around with the output echo that gave the results of the query trying to figure out how to make the dog breed bold and now I am getting this

-Parse error: parse error in /Library/WebServer/Documents/dogs.php on line 22

I am pulling my hair out on this, if anyone can help with either the parse error or how to make the dog breeds bold I would be in your debt.

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

$sql = "SELECT b.dogbreed ,(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(DogName) FROM Names WHERE dogId=b.dogId ) as Dognames from breeds b";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {

    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo . $row["dogbreed"].  " - " . $row["Dognames"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>

</html>

And which is line 22 in this code containing **21** lines??? We are not always clairvoyant! — RiggsFolly, Apr 29 '17 at 00:37

echo . $row["dogbreed"].  " - " . $row["Dognames"]. "<br>";

Take out the . after echo:

echo $row["dogbreed"] . " - " . $row["Dognames"] . "<br>";

The tag you would be looking for in html to make it bold is this:

<strong>Text</strong>

Otherwise, if you could include more of your code and the lines, it would be of better help with the current error.

I get the idea of the tag but in this case it is $row["dogbreed"], where would I put the strong tag – mannthedan Apr 29 '17 at 00:47
As suggested by @Mohammed Akhtar Zuberi : echo "" . $row ["dogbreed"] . "" – must_ache Apr 29 '17 at 00:48

To make any text bold in echo, simply add echo "<strong>" . $row ["dogbreed"] . "</strong>".

This way you can make any part of text bold.
