Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in php

Question

I am getting this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' when printing $html.

This is my code:

$html= while($rowe=$rese->fetch_array())
             { ;
$html .='<div class="row" style="margin-bottom:0;">
          <div class="col-md-12 form-group">
            <label style="font-weight:bold">Summary</label>
            <p>';
            $html .=ucfirst($rowe['summary']);
            $html .='</p>
            </div>
            </div><hr>';
            $html .= } ;

`$html .= } ;` does not have any sense as you are closing the `while` statement block while trying to append something to the string — DonCallisto, Jun 13 '17 at 10:46
@user3770112: without appending anything to `html`; just put `}` Moreover you don't need all those `;` after `{` and `}` — DonCallisto, Jun 13 '17 at 10:52

Bind only html in your variable:

while($rowe=$rese->fetch_array())
{ 
            $html ='<div class="row" style="margin-bottom:0;"><div class="col-md-12 form-group"><label style="font-weight:bold">Summary</label><p>';
            $html .=ucfirst($rowe['summary']);
            $html .='</p>
            </div>
            </div><hr>';
}

Remove this : $html .= } ;

$html = "";
while($rowe=$rese->fetch_array())
             { 
$html .='<div class="row" style="margin-bottom:0;">
          <div class="col-md-12 form-group">
            <label style="font-weight:bold">Summary</label>
            <p>';
            $html .=ucfirst($rowe['summary']);
            $html .='</p>
            </div>
            </div><hr>';
             }

`$html= while($rowe=$rese->fetch_array())` is wrong – Parag Soni Jun 13 '17 at 10:51

You have multiple errors , correct way is

while($rowe=$rese->fetch_array()) {
            $html .= '<div class="row" style="margin-bottom:0;"><div class="col-md-12 form-group"><label style="font-weight:bold">Summary</label><p>'.ucfirst($rowe["summary"]).'</p></div></div><hr>';
        }
