Hi im having trouble with this coding and this error:

<?php
include 'connect.php';
include 'fightheaderrd1.php';

session_start();
$username = $_SESSION['loginusername'];
if (isset($_SESSION['loginusername'])){

echo "<center><h2>Round 1</h2></center><br /><br />";

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM boxerinfo WHERE username = '$username' AND status = 'online'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
echo "<div id='bluecorner'><table border='1' bordercolor='#000000' width='150' align='center'>"; 
echo "<tr bgcolor='#0000FF'>";
echo "<th align='center'><font color='#FFFFFF'>".$row['username']."</font></th>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table></div>";
  }
  
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM boxerinfo WHERE fighterrequest = '$username' AND status = 'online'");

    // Load the contents of the page into the <div>
    $('#display').load('fightlivecommentary.php');

<?
}else{

echo "Please <b>Sign In</b> above or <a href='signup.php'><b>Sign Up</b></a> to create your boxer!</a>";
}

include 'footer.php';

Thanks for any help

In the future, please place

OR

tags around your code.

Use <?php instead of shorthand.

ive edited that but still the same error, any other ideas?

I'm assuming the code you have provided is the contents of: "fightrd1.php"

 

Everything looks fine to me. Can you double check that you have nothing before the initialize <?php tag in your script?
