You shouldn't expect ready to use solutions from this newsgroup, but
rather some helpful (and sometimes maybe not so helpful) hints. :)

The following code is hardly analyzable, due to line breaks inserted by
newsreaders.  You should consider reformatting any code to not exceed,
say, 72 characters per line, before posting it to Usenet.

Here the trailing semicolon is missing.  It doesn't have to be written
on the same line, though, but that's customary and easier to read.  The
missing semicolon causes the PHP engine to abort script processing with
a fatal error.  I suggest you enable error_reporting and have a look in
the error log.[1]

Yes.  You should always quote strings (opposed to constants).
