stupid question...

This is most likely a stupid question, but i am attempting to assign the result of a mysql_query to a variable, and it is giving me a parse error on the line where i try that
: submitNum = $myrow["submitnum"];

here is what i have:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM bbbforum");

if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

do {

if ($myrow["submitnum"] > submitNum)

submitNum = $myrow["submitnum"];

} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));

} else {

echo "Error: No records found";

}

i'm just trying to get the highest # in the submitnum field...

hi,

should not read :

$submitnum = $myrow["submitnum"]; ?

note the "$" before "submitnum".

regards.
