also forgot another ;

PHP:

        //Get topic id and title
        while ($topic_info = mysql_fetch_array($verify_res)) {
            $topic_id = $topic_info['topic_id'];
            $topic_title = stripslashes($topic_info);

Thanks.

A couple of the keys on my keyboard are fussy so I don't know when it has typed it or not.

Most ide's have an auto correct function, one that you can customize for mistakes that you or your input devices make ... I'd do that ...
