Philip Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 You don't have equal signs...... that's whats throwing the parse errors. $username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/168212-parse-error-help/#findComment-887232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDanz Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 honestly i don't understand what you mean... do you mean it $username should be different to the one in brackets?

lonewolf217 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 you are trying to assign a value to the variable. therefore you need to use the equal sign as an operator, not just list the two variables see his example Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/168212-parse-error-help/#findComment-887239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
