Parse error: parse error.

[ChrisMartino]

Hey there,

 

Thanks for taking the time to read, I keep getting a parse error, I'm not sure why though the code seems solid, Here it is:

 

	public function IsValidClient($username)
	{
		$CheckName = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
		$CheckClient = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Clients WHERE Username = '".$CheckName."'");

		if(mysql_num_rows($CheckClient) == 1)
		{
			return true;
		}
		else
		{
			return echo("Error: The control panel returned a error. (ERROR: #02)");
		}
	}

 

 

The line with the error is were it returns a echo statement. :/

Why would you return echo?

Why would you return echo?

 

because i want too?

Just return the string, don't echo it. Also, is you function in a class object? You don't need public if it isn't. Also, try a syntax highlighting editor, like komodo.. It makes these things very easy to diagnose.

	public function IsValidClient($username)
	{
		$CheckName = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
		$CheckClient = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Clients WHERE Username = '".$CheckName."'");

		if(mysql_num_rows($CheckClient) == 1)
		{
			return true;
		}
		else
		{
			return "Error: The control panel returned a error. (ERROR: #02)";
		}
	}
$status = IsValidClient($username);
if($status != TRUE ) {
die($status);
}

i guess the problem is here you should replace " with '    like below

 

$CheckClient = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM Clients WHERE Username = "'.$CheckName.' " ');

 

actually if you use STOPFTP it will be easier for you to try these kind of problems. http://www.stopftp.com

What he has should work. He never mentioned any other problems tho or if he still is having the problem. He just posted the edited code so we have no idea what's going on.

The only problem, other than the fact that if it is not a class function, it shouldn't be public, is you can't return an echo!
