error on line 14 at column 10: Opening and ending tag mismatch: br line 0 and form

#5

Try moving all php code to top :slight_smile:

#6

Try using <br /> hopefully this should fix the issue.

#7

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /storage/ssd1/165/2657165/public_html/xml/sql_to_xml.php:26 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /storage/ssd1/165/2657165/public_html/xml/sql_to_xml.php on line 26

how to fix this?

#8

First of all remove @ from your before all function. Next use either mysqli or pdo extension because mysql extension is deprecated and insecure to use.

#10

In your panel settings you can change PHP to 5.x version and use mysql, but your code is apparently insecure, so I do not recommend using it for professional purposes
