{arse error: syntax error, unexpected T_REQUIRE_ONCE on line 4

It's
require_once '../functions.php';
on line 4.

Any suggestions?

// Check if the title is entered
if ($_POST['title']) {
$title = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title']);
} else {
echo 'The title field is empty.';
}

// Check if the body is entered
if ($_POST['body']) {
$body = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['body']);
} else {
echo 'The body field is empty.';
}

$date = time();

// If the title and body are both entered, insert into the database
if ($title && $body) {
connect();

mysql_query("INSERT INTO pages (title, body, date) VALUES ('$title', '$body', '$date')");
} else {
echo 'Back';
}
?>

what is wrong?

Remember: When inserting data into a database using these methods it is always crucial to sanitize your inputs using mysql_real_escape_string, doing otherwise would be a huge security risk (See the SQL injection section of Hack Your Own Site. That article also mentions using prepared statements, a "newer" way of doing this, which is not mentioned in this article.

I decideed to remove this and just use "$title = $_GET['title'];".

I now hav enoerrors but the data is not saving, Am I doin fsomething wrong?
