Here is the more of the code (full page is to long to post :():

[code]
<?php
if($_GET['page'] == "matches"){
session_start();

$username = $_SESSION['username'];

$db_host = 'your_host';
$db_user = 'username';
$db_pass = 'your_pass';
$db_name = 'your_db_name';

# Under here DONT TOUCH!!!
$connection = mysql_pconnect("$db_host","$db_user","$db_pass")
or die("Couldn't connect to server.");
$db = mysql_select_db("$db_name", $connection)
or die("Couldn't select database");

echo '

$sql = "SELECT * FROM matches order by id";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {

I encountered this problem many times and its ussually because a qoute " or a } is missing what I normally do is move blocks of code to a temprory file until the error dissapears and then check the last block I moved.
such a problem can't be found without seeing entire code (also try looking at the code in some php editing software that shows colour coded php tags )

[code]$sql = "SELECT * FROM matches order by id";[/code]

should be either of these i think?

[code]$sql = "SELECT * FROM matches order by id asc";[/code]

or

[code]$sql = "SELECT * FROM matches order by id desc";[/code]


Hope this helps :)

The entire page wont fit into a forum post :(  . But I have determined the following is the code that is messing up my page:

[code]<?php
if($_GET['page'] == "register_parse"){

# include mysql connection script
include("db.php");

# Grab the post variables from the PHP form
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email_address'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$bio = $_POST['bio'];

# Checking for anything that could cause errors
$first_name = stripslashes($first_name);
$last_name = stripslashes($last_name);
$email_address = stripslashes($email_address);
$username = stripslashes($username);
$bio = stripslashes($bio);

# Any errors in the posted fields? Lets check...
if((!$first_name) || (!$last_name) || (!$email_address) || (!$username)){
echo '<font id=NewsText />You did not submit the following required information! <br/></font>';
}
if(!$first_name){
echo '<font id=NewsText />First name is a required field. Please enter it below. <br/></font>';
}
if(!$last_name){
echo '<font id=NewsText />Last name is a required field. Please enter it below. <br/></font>';
}
if(!$email_address){
echo '<font id=NewsText />Email address is a required field. Please enter it below. <br/></font>';
}
if(!$username){
echo '<font id=NewsText />Username is a required field. Please enter it below. <br/></font>';
}
include("?page=register");
exit();

# does this username already exist in the database? lets check for that now...
$sql_email_check = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users WHERE email='$email'");
$sql_username_check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users username='$username'");

$email_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_email_check);
$username_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_username_check);

if(($email_check > 0) || ($username_check > 0)){
echo '<font id=NewsText />Please fix the following errors: <br/></font>';
if($email_check > 0){
echo '<font id=NewsText />Your email address has already been used by another member in our database. Please use a different Email address!<br/></font>';
unset($email_address);
}
if($username_check > 0){
echo '<font id=NewsText />The username you have selected has already been used by another member in our database. Please choose a different Username!<br/></font>';
unset($username);
}
include("?page=register"); // Show form again
exit();

# everything checks out so far, so lets add the user!
function makeRandomPassword(){
$salt = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
  $i = 0;
  while ($i <= 7){
  $num = rand() % 33;
$tmp = substr($salt, $num, 1);
$pass = $pass .$tmp;
$i++;
}
return $pass;
}

$random_password = makeRandomPassword();

$db_password = md5($random_password);

# Enter into database

$info2 = htmlspecialchars($info);
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email, username, password, encryptpass, bio, signup_date) VALUES('$first_name','$last_name','$email','$username','$db_password','$info2', now(),'$random_password')") or die (mysql_error());

if(!$sql){
echo '<font id=NewsText />There has been an error creating your account. Please contact the webmaster.</font>';
}else{
$userid = mysql_insert_id();
// Let's mial the user!
$subject = "Your Membership at n2p.com";
$message = "Dear $first_name $last_name,
You are now registered at our website, http://www.n2p.com!

To activate your membership, please login here: http://www.n2p.com/index.php?=login_form

Once you activate your membership, you will be able to login with the following information:

mail($email_address, $subject, $message, "From: n2p.com<webmaster@n2p.com>\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
echo '<font id=NewsText />Your membership information has been mailed to $email_address ! Please check it and follow the directions!</font>';
}
}
?>[/code]

I went over the code in order to fix the problem yet im still getting the error. I think it would make sence i didn't end a strand right but what strand would that be. As I said im new to PHP but I gave it a look over to make sure that It wasnt some little missing end tag and there was nothing I had seen (although im realy tired and my eyes hurt). Anyway if someone could tell me what I have done wrong in this code that would be great. Thnx in advance.

for a start i would use an include this way.

include("whatever.php");

and the cheek statement can be conbined togeter ok.

example only.

$sql_email_check = mysql_query("SELECT users.email,users.username FROM users WHERE
username=$username and email='$email'");

$result=mysql_query($sql_email_check);

if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {

echo" sorry but email or username exist please use another";

}


also in your database you got insert a now() i nerver seen that before what that for?
also anyone else tell me cheers.

your code will never get past the exit()

[code]
# Any errors in the posted fields? Lets check...
if((!$first_name) || (!$last_name) || (!$email_address) || (!$username)){
echo '<font id=NewsText />You did not submit the following required information! <br/></font>';
}
if(!$first_name){
echo '<font id=NewsText />First name is a required field. Please enter it below. <br/></font>';
}
if(!$last_name){
echo '<font id=NewsText />Last name is a required field. Please enter it below. <br/></font>';
}
if(!$email_address){
echo '<font id=NewsText />Email address is a required field. Please enter it below. <br/></font>';
}
if(!$username){
echo '<font id=NewsText />Username is a required field. Please enter it below. <br/></font>';
}
include("?page=register");
exit();

[/code]

its just sitting there being executed everytime

also as advised from another user the random_password was missing ok.

Also take the exit; away as advised.

This is the correct code if the signup_date has a timestamp in the database



$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email, username, password,bio, signup_date,random_password') VALUES('$first_name','$last_name','$email','$username','$db_password','$info2',NOW(),'$random_password')") or die (mysql_error());

or use this

$signup_date($_POST(['signup_date']));
$signup_date=date("d:m:y");

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email, username, password, bio, signup_date,random_password') VALUES('$first_name','$last_name','$email','$username','$db_password','$info2','$signup_date','$random_password')") or die (mysql_error());

you said that there is more code than that, but you couldn't fit it all there? can you make a linkie for it then? cuz even though your code won't work the way you [i]want[/i] to work (see above posts), there is no syntatical errors in the code you provided. So the syntax error you are getting is not there.  i suspect your problem may be in your include statements though.  you are including the same file, only with a specific variable being passed. well this still includes the entire file, tags and all.

okay, i think i found your problem.

first off, you have some other miscelaneous bugs, like, missing ; after your exit()'s and an extra } towards the end.  people already mentioned this, but the code you provided in your link still shows it.

2nd, down around line 221:

[code]
// preform actions according to users access level
if($access == "0"){
  echo '<font id=UserNameRed />Please login</font><br/>
<font id=NewsText />Not a member? To register <a href=?page=register target="ifram2">click here</font></a><br/>
';
}
[/code]
you are not using your quotes correctly. therefore the echo statement is never closed, so all of those other if statements after that, all the way down to your closing ?> is treated as part of the echo. this may or may not be the root of your problem, but it should bring you closer to your solution.

I updated the code a little bit tryed to get most of the things you guys told me to fix fixed yet im not sure I did correctly on the echo lines but im working on it. Well after I updated the code and tryed to make the improvements I still get the:

[quote]Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/34/d154144477/htdocs/ventgaming/n2p/index.php on line 955[/quote]

here is a link to the updated code (same link as before):
