lines #5 and #6: concatenation between string and trim() missing, closing semi-colon missing.

These lines (on top):
Do not end with an ;
Next time read the error, it usually contains a line number, simply look near the code at that line number and see what's wrong. 'Expecting ;' means the interpreter (PHP) expects an ;, which means you forgot one.
echo "First Name: <input type=\"text\" name=\"fname\" value=\"" trim($_POST['fname'])."\" 06 echo "Last Name: <input type=\"text\" name=\"lname\" value=\"" trim($_POST['lname'])."\"
Do not end with an ;

Its not that I know what it means but even with you close them like you are saying it will not work for some reason any other ideas

since you need it to read anyways:
- string operators
- echo
hint: you’re already doing that in your code

Thanks for your help I'm reading the links but still not quite seeing what I am doing wrong although I am seeing it may have something to do with parentheses
