[Robert Elsdon]

Hi i am kinda stuck on this part so im realy counting on you guys.. this is my db code and im wondering what else i need to change because my website is keep saying

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in /home/ultimate/public_html/members.php on line 11

 

this is the dbconfig.php code:

 

<?

// Replace the variable values below

// with your specific database information.

$host = "localhost";                                      // Ive filled out this properly

$user = "UserName";                                    // Ive filled out this properly

$pass = "Password";                                    // Ive filled out this properly

$db  = "dbName";                                        // Ive filled out this properly

 

// This part sets up the connection to the

// database (so you don't need to reopen the connection

// again on the same page).

$ms = mysql_pconnect($host, $user, $pass);

if ( !$ms )

{

echo "Error connecting to database.\n";

}

 

// Then you need to make sure the database you want

// is selected.

mysql_select_db($db);               

?>

Try this way for a config file >

 

 

<?php 
$AddressBook_HOST="localhost";
$AddressBook_Username="********";
$AddressBook_Password="********";
$AddressBook_DatabaseName="*********";

if($AddressBook_Username=="[username]"){
die('Please Specify the Username');
}
if($AddressBook_Password=="[pw]"){
die('Please Specify the Password');
}
if($AddressBook_DatabaseName=="[database]"){
die('Please Specify the Database');
}

?>

Sorry, just copies the above from one of my web site config files and did not mentiong you will need to change the bits that say 'AddressBook' to the name of your table. Appologies for confusing you.

Ive been doing PHP a while now so i kinda knew! wish me luck!

Do i have to put ym databse name where it says

 

Please Specify the Database? please let me know

[Rohan Shenoy]

The error in in members.php file and you have posted the dbconfig.php file.

Please post the members.php file if you have modifed it.

[ady01]

No, this is just the meassage you would see if it wont work, enabling you to tell where the problem is .

 

Hope what i have shown helps as the code you pasted was only your config file, Looking at your error it may also be a problem in your members.php file. If you dont get any luck changing the config file paste your Members.php in an i will take a look also.

Do i have to put ym databse name where it says

 

Please Specify the Database? please let me know

yes, so you mean you were doing all this without connecting to your db? strange that it did not give some other expected errors!

You have to connect to YOUR database using the db name, username , pass etc!

Ady This is the member.php i have not made any modifications to this file.

 

<?php

session_start();

 

if (!$_SESSION["valid_user"])

{

// User not logged in, redirect to login page

Header("Location: login.php");

}

 

// Member only content

// ...

// ...

// ...

 

// Display Member information

echo "<p>User ID: " . $_SESSION["valid_id"];

echo "<p>Username: " . $_SESSION["valid_user"];

echo "<p>Logged in: " . date("m/d/Y", $_SESSION["valid_time"]);

 

// Display logout link

echo "<p><a href=\"logout.php\">Click here to logout!</a></p>";

?>

[rarebit]

me thinks line 11 is in this section?

 

// Member only content

// ...

// ...

// ...

 

[ady01]

Think your right, that bit isnt looking correct to me, Can you confirm if // ... would be your line 11  ?
