syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

[xxreenaxx1]

When I try to run a program, I am getting an error message. Not sure why

 

and the code that has the error is shown below. Error message is syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

 

setcookies("username","$username",time()+86400);

Mind showing us a few lines prior?

Here you go

 

<?php
//session_start();//Starting session
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="root"; // username
$password=""; // password
$db_name="Examination"; // Databasename
$tbl_name="User"; // Tablename



$username = $_POST["username"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
$login=$_GET["login"]

setcookies("username","$username",time()+86400);
if($login="yes"){
// Connection to the server and database
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE Use_Name='$username' and Use_Password='$password'";
$result=mysql_result($sql,0);

if($result!=1){
echo"invlaid login";}

else{
echo"welcome".$_COOKIE["username"]."whoever";
$_SESSION["username"] = $username;

}


?>

Your missing a ; off of $login=$_GET["login"]

Thanks for that.

 

Now I am getting an error with the last time

 

?>

Simple syntax errors really aren't something you should be posting on help forums about, your now missing a closing }

 

If you indent your code these error will stand out.

Ohh.. But I am just having trouble with PHP though someone out there could help me.

 

Will do

<?php
//session_start();//Starting session
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="root"; // username
$password=""; // password
$db_name="Examination"; // Databasename
$tbl_name="User"; // Tablename



$username = $_POST["username"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
$login = $_GET["login"];

setcookies("username", $username, time()+86400);
if($login == "yes") {
// Connection to the server and database
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection)or die(mysql_error());

$sql = "SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE Use_Name='$username' and Use_Password='$password'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
echo "invlaid login";

} elseif(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
echo "welcome" . $_COOKIE["username"] . "whoever";
$_SESSION["username"] = $username;

}
?>

 

Should do the trick.

 

James.
