can some one tell me what might be wrong with this script? I am trying to  make it so the text in about in my database will show up in the table. My DB name is test, and my table name is users. I get [code]Parse error: parse error in /Library/WebServer/Documents/userlog.php on line 11[/code] when I open it
heres the code:
[code=php:0]<html>
<body>
<title>Profile</title>
<body bgcolor=336699>
<div align=center>
<table width=332 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=3>
<tr>
<td background=tableo.jpg
style=border-top:3px red solid;border-bottom:3px red
solid;border-right:36px red solid;border-left:3px red solid;>
?>
<?php  $con = mysql_connect(localhost,ZackBabtkis,);
if (!$con)
  {
  die(Could not connect:  . mysql_error());
  }
$user = echo $_COOKIE[user];
mysql_select_db(test, $con);

$result = mysql_query(SELECT about FROM users WHERE $user = user);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo $row[about];
  }
echo </table>;

mysql_close($con);
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>[/code]

OKay. Looking at your your code, you are using strings but you aint put the quotes around them. When you use a string you need to place a quotes around it. Try this:
[code]<html>
<body>
<title>Profile</title>
<body bgcolor=336699>
<div align=center>
<table width=332 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=3>
<tr>
<td background=tableo.jpg
style=border-top:3px red solid;border-bottom:3px red
solid;border-right:36px red solid;border-left:3px red solid;>
<?php

$con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'ZackBabtkis', 'pass') or die('Could not connect:'  . mysql_error());

$user = $_COOKIE['user'];

mysql_select_db('test', $con);

$result = mysql_query('SELECT about FROM users WHERE $user = user');

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    echo $row['about'];
}

echo '</table>';

mysql_close($con);
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>[/code]

okay, that kind of worked. it gave me the background and the table with [code]
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /Library/WebServer/Documents/userlog.php on line 14[/code] in the middle. I think I know  nthe probnlem though. is it because I dont have the cookie sent saying what $user equals? I need to have that script from before written in my registreation page, so when you register, it creates that page. heres my code so far.
[code=php:0]<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","ZackBabtkis","");
$password = md5($_POST['password']);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[username]) or die("no");
$about = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[about]);
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }
$write = ('<html>
<body>
<title>$username s Profile</title>
<body bgcolor=336699>
<div align=center>
<table width=332 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=3>
<tr>

style=border-top:3px red solid;border-bottom:3px red

?>
<?php  $con = mysql_connect(localhost,ZackBabtkis,);
if (!$con)
  {
  die(Could not connect:  . mysql_error());
  }
$user = echo $_COOKIE[user];
mysql_select_db(test, $con);

$result = mysql_query(SELECT about FROM users WHERE $user = user);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo $row[about];
  }
echo </table>;

mysql_close($con);
?>

okay, I kind of fixed part of it, but now when it creates the file, there is missing data. in other words, I dont have what I have written in my creation file right. here is the file that creates the file
registration.php:
[code=php:0]
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","ZackBabtkis","");
$password = md5($_POST['password']);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[username]) or die("no");
$about = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[about]);
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }
$write = ("<html><body>
<title>Profile</title>
<body bgcolor=336699>
<div align=center>
<table width=332 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=3>
<tr>
<td background=tableo.jpg
style=border-top:3px red solid;border-bottom:3px red
solid;border-right:36px red solid;border-left:3px red solid;>
<?php
$user = $_COOKIE[user];
$con = @mysql_connect(localhost, ZackBabtkis, );
if (!$con)
  {
  die(Could not connect: . mysql_error());
  }
mysql_select_db(test, $con);

$result = mysql_query(SELECT about FROM users WHERE username = $user);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo $row[about];
  }

mysql_close($con);
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
");
$filename = "/Library/WebServer/Documents/users/$username.php";
$filehandle = fopen($filename, 'w') or die("can't create or open file");
fwrite($filehandle, $write);
fclose($filehandle);


mysql_select_db("test", $con);

$sql="INSERT INTO users
(username,password,first,last,email,phone,street,city,zip,state,country,month,day,year)
VALUES
('$_POST[username]','$password','$_POST[first]','$_POST[last]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[phone]','$_POST[street]','$_POST[city]','$_POST[zip]','$_POST[state]','$_POST[country]','$_POST[month]','$_POST[day]','$_POST[year]' )";

if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
echo '<html><title>Registered</title>

mysql_close($con)
?>[/code]


and here is an example of the file it made, keep in mind that when I registered onn my page using register.php, my cookie name was cool21.
example.php:


[code=php:0]<html><body>
<title>Profile</title>
<body bgcolor=336699>
<div align=center>
<table width=332 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=3>
<tr>
<td background=tableo.jpg
style=border-top:3px red solid;border-bottom:3px red
solid;border-right:36px red solid;border-left:3px red solid;>
<?php
= cool21;
Resource id #2 = @mysql_connect(localhost, ZackBabtkis, );
if (!Resource id #2)
  {
  die(Could not connect: . mysql_error());
  }
mysql_select_db(test, Resource id #2);

= mysql_query(SELECT about FROM users WHERE username = );

while( = mysql_fetch_array())
  {
  echo ;
  }

mysql_close(Resource id #2);
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
[/code]
