Error:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/a5488351/public_html/ucp.php on line 81

[mrMarcus]

for starters, you have started a session twice in almost as many lines .. eliminate the second session_start();

 

try taking away that initial whitespace before the first session_start():

 

<?php
session_start();
?>

 

and, check this line:

 

<input type='hidden' name='name' value='<?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>'>

 

to:

 

<input type='hidden' name='name' value='".$_SESSION['username']."'>

 

next time, at least indicate where line:81 is in the script.

[MySQL_Narb]

I still get the same error message.

[mrMarcus]

and you still didn't post line#81.

 

the script you showed, is that ucp.php?

[MySQL_Narb]

Yes, and this time it said line 83.

[mrMarcus]

oh man, would you kindly post line#83 then?

[MySQL_Narb]

I have posted line 83. It's the same as line 81, in the other code I posted. The one above this post. The only reason it's 83 instead of 81, is because I removed the white space like you said.

[runnerjp]

Change

<input type='hidden' name='name' value='<?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>'>

  to

<input type='hidden' name='name' value='<?php echo '".$_SESSION['username']."'"; ?>

[runnerjp]

opps noticed marcus said this sorry

I have posted line 83. It's the same as line 81, in the other code I posted. The one above this post. The only reason it's 83 instead of 81, is because I removed the white space like you said.

you're posting the error code, i need to see the php code on line 81 in the file ucp.php.

If you're still getting that error, you must not of updated the code. I just tried your code and it works fine with:

<?php
if ($_SESSION['username'])
{
	echo "<form action='signature_changed.php' method='POST'>
<div class='box'><h3>Update signature</h3>
<input type='hidden' name='name' value='<?php echo '".$_SESSION['username']."'; ?>'>
<textarea name='newsig' cols='20' rows='5'>
</textarea><input type='submit' value='Change'></a>
</div>
</form>";
}
else
{
   		die ("Narb.");
}
?>

 

 

[Coreye]

Ignore the above post... try:

<?php
if ($_SESSION['username'])
{
	echo "<form action='signature_changed.php' method='POST'>
<div class='box'><h3>Update signature</h3>
<input type='hidden' name='name' value='" . $_SESSION['username'] . "'>
<textarea name='newsig' cols='20' rows='5'>
</textarea><input type='submit' value='Change'></a>
</div>
</form>";
}
else
{
   		die ("Narb.");
}
?>
