leke Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Hi, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong because I don't understand why I'm getting... Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/leke/public_html/test/forum/registration_script.php on line 37 ...which the php manual is to do with integers. Line 37 is: if ( ( strlen($username) < 2 || strlen($username) > 26 ) ) { $username = $_POST['userName']; // Wrong username length? if ( ( strlen($username) < 2 || strlen($username) > 26 ) ) { echo '<p class="fail">Username must be between 2-26 characters long.</p>'; exit; } Is there a problem on that line? Thanks. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245246-unexpected-t_lnumber-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Hmm, I can't replicate that error using that code no matter what value I provide for $username - even if I use an explicit integer. Are you absolutely sure that is the right file and not some other file that is include()ed in that page? Go ahead and post the first 40 lines from registration_script.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245246-unexpected-t_lnumber-error/#findComment-1259623 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 This line: if (strlen($password) < 5 || > strlen($password) 26) { It should be strlen($password) > 26 And also this line: if ($password == $userName { You're missing a parenthesis.
