Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/jeanie/public_html/member.php on line 7

Here is the script

<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['s_logged_n'] == 'true'){
include 'process.php';
include 'config.php';

$query = mysql_query("SELECT Admin FROM Users WHERE Username = '$_SESSION['s_logged_n']' LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());
$admini = mysql_fetch_array($query);

$admin = $admini['Admin'];

This gets Admin value from the database, and on Menus.php it checks

if $Admin == 1

{ *brings the admin link and calls "case admin" }

I'm not sure why I recieve that error though...

Could you help?

I would start by breaking down the problem line since I find that double quotes can cause unnecessary stress.

Change

$query = mysql_query("SELECT Admin FROM Users WHERE Username = '$_SESSION['s_logged_n']' LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());

to

$s_logged_n = $_SESSION['s_logged_n']';

$query = mysql_query("SELECT Admin FROM Users WHERE Username = '$s_logged_n' LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());

...or just use curly braces to wrap the variable.

$query = mysql_query("SELECT Admin FROM Users WHERE Username = '{$_SESSION['s_logged_n']}' LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());

$query = mysql_query(sprintf("SELECT Admin FROM Users WHERE Username = '%s' LIMIT 1", mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['s_logged_n']))) or die(mysql_error());

should fix it. Essentially, If you look at $_SESSION['s_logged_n'], you're closing the previous string with the apostrophe. You may want to look at different ways to concatenate strings together. For MySQL queries, you should perhaps look at preparing your statements (required mysqli extension). Otherwise you could do as I did above and use sprintf or vsprintf.
