tried textpad. dreamweaver does the same thing as control-shift-M. Found
the open switch statement by printing out the code and drawing lines between
the brackets. turned out to be mostly dead code so I eliminated it. but it
was farther up the code block. didn't eliminate the error message. all it
did was move it.
the entire file (with headers for execution) can be found for a while at
http://home.comcast.net/~mmediap3/z/dbinc.php
http://home.comcast.net/~mmediap3/z/header.php
http://home.comcast.net/~mmediap3/z/tareports.php
tareports.php is the one with the problem.
